Hey Mercedes! How have you been?

Hey there! I’ve been doing great, thanks for asking! I’m keeping busy with work and enjoying some downtime whenever I can. A few trips are also ahead of me.

You’ve amassed an incredible TikTok viewership during your time on the platform, what do you attribute your success to?

It’s been an amazing journey on TikTok! I think my success stems from staying true to myself, creating content that resonates with my audience, and staying on top of trends while adding my own unique twist to things.

What is your creative process behind content creation?

My creative process usually involves brainstorming ideas based on what’s happening in my life or what I’m passionate about. Then, I’ll plan out the content, film it, and edit it to make sure it’s engaging and entertaining.

How do you balance content creation with your acting career?

Balancing content creation with my acting career can be challenging, but I’ve learned to prioritize and manage my time effectively. I try to find a balance between the two by incorporating aspects of my acting work into my content whenever possible.

You grew up in Budapest, studied acting in Toronto and are now based in Los Angeles. How have each of these areas inspired you in your career?

Each of these places has had a profound impact on my career and my artistic sensibilities. Budapest gave me a rich cultural background, Toronto exposed me to a diverse acting scene, and Los Angeles has provided me with endless opportunities in the entertainment industry.

You’ve picked up some amazing roles so far, taking on guest roles in The Boys, Robyn Hood, and Slumberland. How do you pick out your roles?

I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had so far! When it comes to picking roles, I look for characters that challenge me and stories that resonate with me on a personal level. I also consider the overall quality of the project and the potential for growth. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have a great manager.

One of your roles was in The Boys. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

Being part of The Boys was such an incredible experience! If I could have any superpower, I think I’d choose to be invisible anytime. The ability to move objects with my mind would be so versatile and could come in handy in so many situations.

What can fans expect from you for the rest of 2024?

Fans can expect to see more exciting projects, both on-screen and on social media! I’ll be continuing to create diverse content and hopefully taking on some new and exciting acting roles. Stay tuned for more updates.
