Meet Kiara from France

Kiara from France talks about being an actress and her sister as a role model

Ally Marcino

Kiara, known around Explo as Kiki, plans to follow in her sister's footprints and become a renowned actress. However, Kiki would rather act in her favorite kind of movies: horror movies.


I like drawing, singing, playing music, and hanging out with my friends; but I LOVE movies. I really, really enjoy horror movies. I love the adrenaline you get when they’re really scary. Like, when something appears one moment when you didn’t expect it to come that’s really scary. I’m taking Intro to Acting because my whole family is really into movies. My dad is a screenwriter, my mom is an author, and my sister is a really big actress. I want to be an actress like her when I grow up. It would be very cool to act in horror movies!

If I could act with any actress in the world I would act with my sister, because she is really good. If I had to choose an American actor, maybe Leonardo DiCaprio! But my sister is a big model for me. I know that if she can do it, then I can do it. We are very close. She began modeling and playing in movies and the theatre when she was thirteen in Iran. It’s my mom’s country, too. But my sister was rejected from the country for her modeling. But now she is doing all these great things: she’s singing, she’s playing music, she’s modeling, and she’s this big actress. She brings me things from her movie sets and takes pictures for me. She’s really just taught me that anything is possible.
