Outside of music, Anitta is also a model and actress who has starred in her series Go Anitta (2018), and Anitta: Made in Honório (2020). She also starred in Netflix’s beloved series Elite.

Anitta had the following to say about the project:

“This is the first time the public will get to see the Larissa that exists behind Anitta, without any filters. I gave so much of myself for Anitta to exist. Moments of connection with myself became increasingly rare and brief. But this came at a high cost – physically and mentally. Over the nearly 15 years of my career, I dedicated myself to creating a strong, independent, and unbeatable persona. Now, it’s time to show Larissa intimately, through the lens of someone special who knew me before I even thought of becoming Anitta. The film is beautiful, emotional, and honest. I believe it will surprise a lot of people.”
