Thalia, the queen of Mexican soap operas, turns 51 this August and has been surprising fans with her fine form over the past few days. This week the actress shared a video in which she revives Marimar, the main character of the storyline of the same name that was released in 1994 (and is currently available on Globoplay). Even after 28 years, time doesn’t seem to have passed for the actress and singer who still looks the way she is.
In the released record, the artist appears in the character’s dress. “Surprise. I found Marimar’s original dress,” she said, who also recorded a video showing the steps to transform into the character. Curling your hair and applying lots of bronzer are some of the necessary processes.
In the comments, the fans were touched by the memory, but also drew attention to the beauty of the Mexican. “How can you be so beautiful?” one asked. “Wow Thalia looks like she’s only gotten prettier over the years,” said a second. “Impressive that it’s still the same 28 years later,” wrote a third.
