Cristina Cordula didn’t always want to work in fashion and on television. Before becoming a model and presenter, the Brazilian dreamed of doing a completely different job…
Cristina Cordula makes her return to the small screen with her show Hand sewnon RMC Life, this April 1. And if the extravagant Brazilian is delighted to once again host this program which has not been broadcast for nine years, she has long dreamed of a life far from TV sets and wanted to pursue a completely different profession when she was younger.
What job did Cristina Cordula want to pursue when she was younger?
Before becoming the TV personality we know today, the Rio de Janeiro native wanted to become a nurse! “Because I was good at science. But it didn’t last long, because I very quickly wanted to be a model“, she explained to Gala. The first job she had, however, was not in the modeling field. “A friend’s uncle had an island in Angra dos Reis with a restaurant. In the summer, I worked there as a waitress in a bikini and sarong with a hibiscus in my hair. I was already exuberant and we were having a lot of fun“, she clarified.
Then, as a teenager, the Brazilian began to appear in commercials and then to parade, in the hope of one day becoming a recognized model. At the same time, she pursued studies in journalism and communications. It was a few years later, when she decided to cut her hair, that her career took off internationally.
Cristina Cordula, soon to be an actress? “I was offered to…”
The wife of businessman Frédéric Cassin then opened her image consulting agency in Paris, where she settled, then went through castings to appear in television shows in the early 2000s… until she was taken on as a coach for the program New look for a new life, that she would dream of bringing back to life today.
From now on, the one who participated in Dancing With The Stars in 2024 enjoys her job as an animator and isn’t about to change! She wouldn’t be against putting on a one-woman show one day… but not for now! “I’m not saying I won’t do it one day, but I have to stay focused. We’ll see. Later… I was also offered to act in fiction, but I refused, I’m not an actress“, she told Télé 7 Jours.
