Millionaire ring, visual change, controversy on TV: curiosities about Marina Ruy Barbosa

Marina Ruy Barbosa completes three decades on Monday (30) with a trajectory that includes the beginning of her career as a child on TV, a fairy tale marriage, controversial linked to her locks and an extensive list of work.

The 30 milestone came with a transformation to the height. In May, Marina first appeared blonde on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. The look – that she herself called “the beginning of a new era” in an Instagram post – made a lot of people wonder how much it cost (or how much Marina may have received) to give up the most famous redhead in the country.

Marina’s “ruivice” was also a controversy. In 2021, she was criticized for defending in networks the “redhead representativeness”. The idea was to celebrate his identity, but was badly received by netizens who saw in his speech a shifted tone before racial and social guidelines.

Pride on the natural color of hair has always been evident. In 2020, Marina launched the sustainable brand Ginger Shop – wiping that, not by chance, it is used as a definition of “redhead” in English.

Well before that, the connection with the hair had already given something to say. During the soap opera “Love to Life” (2013), his character faced terminal cancer and the public expected Marina to scrape his head to the role. This did not happen, and she was criticized, accused of lack of professionalism, “not surrendering” to role.

The controversy was only clarified years later, in 2024, when Marina revealed on social networks that the decision to keep the wires came from the author of the novel, Walcyr Carrasco.

Marina’s trajectory on TV started early. She premiered at the age of nine as Aninha in “Start Up” (2004), from Globo. Then came novels such as “Beautiful” (2005), “Seven Sins” (2007) and the most striking work: Maria Isis in “Empire” – romantic from the commendator lived by Alexandre Nero. The character earned several nominations as an adjunct actress and consolidated her as one of the most promising actresses of the new generation.

In addition to the radical change in the look, it also goes through a new professional phase. After the end of the fixed contract with TV Globo, Marina prepares to debut in Prime Video’s “Tremembé” series. The True Crime series will portray Doctor Jose Augusto César Salgado, known as Tremembé II, and the routine of famous prisoners who have passed there, such as Suzane von Richthofen, who will be played by the former Ruiva.
