Before the soap opera Renacer premiered, she told CubaSí that she was happy with her character of "bad girl," referring to the fact that the soap opera is entering the final stretch and we welcome the new year, we spoke again with this charismatic, beautiful, and talented Cuban actress.

Now that you have seen Sandra on screen, are you still as happy with Sandra?

“Yes, I’m satisfied, there are things that can always be improved. But I gave myself completely to Sandra.

How have the reactions of the public been?

“They hate me and they love me, hahaha. And I think that’s a good sign, it means that they liked my work, that it was credible. Having the acceptance of the public is of great satisfaction.

Belissa Cruz is an excellent human being, however, you love “interpreting the villains” what do you feed on to impersonate those characters so far from your own values?

“I seek the dark side of the human being, why that character acts that way. There’s no bad guy so bad, nor good guy so good, everyone has a a bit of both, wrong decisions people take and one must look for the reasons that led them to that or to understand it and be able to defend it.”

What projects are you currently working on?

“I have proposals that I cannot tell you about so that they come true. It’s better to be silent, hahaha. Now, I’m focused on my spiritual growth, on my son and my grandmother.”

What message does Belissa Cruz have for her audience regarding the new year?

“Don't lose faith, fight for your dreams. Good things always come, sometimes not when we look for them, but when God disposes.”
