Biography

edit

Fiorella was born in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. She is of Italian and German ancestry, both her paternal and maternal family names are from Northern Italy.[2][3] She is the daughter of Andreas Mattheis, a race car driver,[4] and Sandra Gelli Mattheis.[5] She has a degree in journalism from the Centro Universitário da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro since 2013[6] On July 20, 2013, she married Flávio Canto;[7] they divorced in September 2014.[8]

Career

edit

Mattheis began her modeling career at the age of fourteen, after being a finalist in a competition held by the agency Elite Model Management. She moved to São Paulo soon after, and it was there that her career as a model took off. From fifteen to seventeen, she lived in Japan, Hong Kong and some European countries. Her acting career started when she played Vivian in Brazilian soap-opera Malhação.[2]

Mattheis does not consume alcoholic beverages.[9] While she stopped eating red meat and chicken for ideological reasons two years ago[when?], she otherwise avoids stringent dietary restrictions. Instead, she relies on an intense exercise regimen that she began as a teenager: "I run five to seven kilometers three to four times a week. Sometimes on the treadmill, sometimes outdoors." Mattheis has two personal trainers.[10] Mattheis attributes her successful career to achieving what could not be done with beauty alone through "hard work and dedication".[11]

In early June 2015, Mattheis was honored as the godmother of the non-governmental organization Ampara Animal in Rio de Janeiro for her activism in helping needy cats and dogs.[12] Later that month, Mattheis had her hair treated by burning with a lit candle. This technique increases the strength and body with which hair grows, and should only be employed by qualified professionals.[13] In July 2015, she posed in a bikini with fellow Vai Que Cola third-season actress Samantha Schmutz.[14]

In August 2015, Mattheis posed in an advertisement for the clothing brand PG with actor and designer Paulo Gustavo. Gustavo described Mattheis as "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."[15]
