Madalina Ghenea, timeless charm between fashion and auteur cinema

Madalina Ghenea, born in 1987, comes from Slatina (Romania). At the age of 14 she moved to Milan to start her modeling career and from that moment she has never stopped working, in a crescendo that then led her to act in very important films.

The real cinematic turning point, for her, comes in 2015, when the director Paolo Sorrentino chooses her for his film "Youth", to act alongside Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel, in the role of Miss Universe. In 2021 it is instead the turn of Ridley Scott, who chooses her to play the role of Sophia Loren (to whom she physically resembles very much) in her "House of Gucci", which sees Lady Gaga and Adam Driverprotagonists.

In the meantime, Madalina is also the testimonial of important brands.
