Isabela Moner, star of DoraAndTheLostCityOfGold talks her first starring role
co-star Mark Wahlberg, as well as her reflections on Mark has my mom’s number, and I’m assuming it’s them scheming or something. He texts all the time, and he actually wanted to be in the movie. I was like, “Well, do you speak Spanish?” and he said, “No.” So, I was like, “Well, it might be a little difficult, but I’ll try to work it out.” And then his nephew ended up being a part of it as Dora’s cousin Diego.
Yeah, right? It was actually kind of a relief because, usually, those are the roles that I’m offered. You’d be surprised… Directors and writers seem to think that only one kind of teenager exists: the angsty and sassy one with attitude. It’s fine to an extent, but it just gets boring as an actor. So, I was really excited to try something completely different.
Yeah, the whole dynamic and joke of it is that she’s exactly the same. The only thing that really changes is the environment that she’s placed in. So, that was where I got to play a little bit. When the school bell rang, Dora was like, “What the heck is that? Is there something wrong?” So, little things like that helped keep her the same even though she’s a teenager.
In the industry, I guess. There’s just not a lot of well-rounded or multidimensional roles for people like me. Usually, my roles focus on the fact that I am Hispanic, and that’s great and all, but it would be really nice to play a role that’s written to be ethnically ambiguous. That’s what I love about Dora because you kinda forget that she’s this Latina icon in the movie. You just look at her as this really intelligent and adventurous explorer.
