The beautiful Karen Junqueira, who was already part of Rede Record's casting, will play a lesbian waitress in the film "A Pelada", by Belgian director Damien Chemin.
The film, a French-Belgian-Brazilian production, was shot in Sergipe and also features Tuca Andrada and Kika Farias.
To compose Luana, her character, Karen visited several gay bars. "In the rock bars on Rua Augusta (in São Paulo), homosexual girls looked at me directly, one even sat in front of me to talk. I was approached both in brothels and in gay bars. I made it clear that I was there researching. In the film, I wore a rocker look, with a fanny pack, boots, a nose ring and black makeup. Her masculinity appears in her speech, in her way of walking. The thing is more suggestive, I just give Kika a kiss. ", said the actress to journalist Patrícia Kogut's blog.
Karen was one of the actresses considered to be the protagonist of "Bruna Surfistinha", a role that went to Deborah Secco.
"I'm playful, childish. People say that doesn't suit a pretty blonde. I don't look in the mirror and see a wonderful woman. And that has nothing to do with self-esteem. I'm happy, even though I don't consider myself beautiful. I'm clumsy and I'm stupid, I break things on set, my car gets wrecked, I'm brutal", says the cat.
