Adria Arjona

Arjona was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but raised in Mexico City until she was twelve. Her mother, Leslie Torres, is Puerto Rican, and her father, Ricardo Arjona, is a Guatemalan singer-songwriter. Arjona reflected on her heritage during an interview with The New York Times: "There's a big debate on the internet over whether I'm Puerto Rican or Guatemalan, and I'm very much both". When she was a child, her father took her along on his tours. At age 12, she moved to Miami with her mother following her parents' divorce. She lived there until she was 18, when she moved to New York City on her own. There, she worked as a waitress and hostess while studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. ==Career==

Arjona's early television roles include Emily in season two of the anthology television series True Detective (2015) and Dani Silva in two episodes of the television series Person of Interest (in 2014 and 2015). She later starred in Emerald City as Dorothy Gale and played Anathema Device in the mini-series Good Omens.

In December 2018, she entered negotiations in the Sony spinoff Morbius to portray the film's female lead Martine Bancroft, and her involvement was confirmed at the end of January. The director of the film, Daniel Espinosa, felt that Arjona was perfect for the role stating: "It was clear—the part was hers". In a review of the picture, David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Arjona carries herself with confidence, but her character also gets a little lost in the carnage". In 2020, she starred in the advertising campaign for Giorgio Armani's fragrance My Way. Later that year, Variety confirmed that Arjona had been cast in the Star Wars series Andor on Disney+. She joined series lead Diego Luna, who reprised his role from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, with Arjona playing Bix Caleen. In April 2021, Arjona was confirmed as the lead with Andy Garcia in the remake of Father of the Bride (1991), with the remake's story being told through the lens of a sprawling Cuban American family. In October 2021, Arjona starred in and produced the drama film Los Frikis, written and directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz. Arjona then costarred with Glen Powell in the action comedy film Hit Man. She was involved in writing dialogue and storyboarding ideas for scenes. In 2024, she starred in Blink Twice, the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz, and was subsequently cast in a lead role of the television series Criminal later that year. In 2025, Adria Arjona was praised for her acting in Splitsville at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and also for Blink Twice and Andor. ==Personal life==
