This thinness required an unreasonable amount of maintenance, I was constantly hungry, constantly angry. I said okay, I'll put my head down, dress like a boring person with jeans and a t-shirt and maybe if I'm skinny and disappear, they will stop commenting on my appearance.ĭuring that time I ate so little. But at one point it stopped being amusing that I was made fun of. I didn't play their game, and the media constantly made fun of how I dressed. I didn't give in to it for the first few years. I surrendered because I felt this was what society had been asking me since I was a girl, it put pressure on me, people told me all my life 'you're so beautiful, if only you lost weight,’ and those things seep in. Why did you give in to social norms and change your appearance? Someone can be the hottest guy in the world but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to kiss him." I also don't like to see it on screen, it embarrasses me. Whenever an audition came up, I asked if there was anything romantic, and as soon as they said yes, I passed. Up until "Fauda", you took a serious break from acting. How did it feel to be one of a few women in the very male-dominated set? Every time I finished a scene I stood aside to watch the rest of the actors because it fascinated me. There is not one stressed person on the set every comment the director gave me made my character richer, the script is so good and the actors are great. Sometimes, from outside, it seems as if you have to be an ego-maniac in order to be recognized, and we're not like that even though we engage in it." We talk a lot about how you can be a humble person but also strive for success. Our household is relatively discreet, Guy is a very private person, I have to ask for his permission every time to upload a picture of him. Is exposure something that comes easily to you? Besides, there are enough interesting things in life, you don't have to fake it." With each of them I could spend a fun evening, we have something in common, and they didn't just choose to invest their time and money in me. When I write a post I imagine the people I see in the audience at my shows. People who advised me on the subject say 'Look at what's going on in the world, see if you have anything to comment on', but it didn't catch on. "The word 'authenticity' has become overused I don't even know what it means anymore. How authentic is the content you upload on Instagram? It's a complete team and I am not alone, but I pay them and manage them." (As part of the decision to manage herself, Maximilian is also in charge of her own Instagram account, a whole world in Ian of itself.)Ī post shared by Marina Maximilian on at 11:11pm PDT I have a PR agency, a strategic consultant, a producer, a digital team, a lawyer and my dad is my accountant. After motherhood, I reset my priorities, and who will be more focused on my goals other than myself? So last October I officially went independent. The music world has changed and I felt that I wanted to work in a different way, study the field, and understand a marketing strategy, getting out of my comfort zone. Not exactly a routine maternity leave, as befits this unique mother and woman.įrom 'Fauda', courtesy of Yes Out of the comfort zone If that’s not enough, she also performs her own music across the country. Three months after her daughter, Dominique Tene, came into the world, a second girl after her 4-year-old Lichi Lucia, who she shares with her boyfriend, musician Guy Mensch, Maximilian has also taken on a dramatic role in the third season of “Fauda". The last transition in her life seems more dramatic than any hairstyle or diet the decision to go independent and become her own manager. It has been 13 years since she broke out on "A Star is Born" (Israel's reality singing competition akin to American Idol), and since, the singer-creator-actress-model hasn't kept quiet and insists on changing all the time. Marina Maximilian is a woman who plays with the world and its expectations, wears and undresses different identities, and refuses to be compressed into one definition.
