As you can see, today we are going to tell you all you need to know about this talented young woman from Bulgaria! Not only did she hit the big screen, but she is now popular all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The childhood of a star<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only daughter of Rumyana and Valcho Bakalovi began playing the flute at the age six. Alongside with that, she took singing lessons. Another six years, and her talent for acting took the upper hand. At the time, she was majoring in Drama and minoring in Flute. That rtook place at the National School of Music and Stage Arts in Burgas. As a student, she was a straight-A genius. \u201cI was a super-disciplined child who was reading too many books and got obsessed with Dostoyevsky at the age of 15 or 16,\u201d says Bakalova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A 25-year-old celebrity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria Valcheva Bakalova was born on 4<sup>th<\/sup> June, 1996. At the age of 25, the actress lines up with the youngest Bulgarian celebrities that have gained a worldwide popularity! She has been in the show business since 2015, yet her career really peaked after she starred in the mockumentary \u201cBorat Subsequent Moviefilm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BORAT 2 Official Trailer (2020) Sacha Baron Cohen, Comedy Movie HD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JvPTCvUnNQA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/video\/vi3498885145?playlistId=nm7210025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maria shares about the movie<\/a>. Despite all the controversy, the film was a great success. Since then, her fame hasn\u2019t stopped growing, and many offers for new roles keep swarming her mail. Moreover, it seems this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to expect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent this from sounding like a wiki text, let&#8217;s take a quick turn and look at some of the acress&#8217;s upcoming&nbsp; projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bakalova will star alongside Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen and Pedro Pascal in Judd Apatow&#8217;s new comedy \u201cThe Bubble.\u201d What is more, the story is about a group of actors trying to finish a film in the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting fact: in March this year Bakalova announced that she and her producing partner Julian Kostov were in the early stages of developing a historical drama. Its miniseries have the working title &#8220;Freedom or Death&#8221;. The plot is based on the 1877\u20131878 Russo-Turkish War. Therefore, it focuses on the period when Bulgaria gained its independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So\u2026 yes, looks like that\u2019s pretty much all of the important stuff you need to know, if you don\u2019t want to read the full thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Yassen Kosev, X B class, ELS &#8220;Geo Milev&#8221;, Burgas Greetings to you, fans of the cinema (and people with too much free time)!
