It often happens that Giselle Blondet is considered an actress. This is true, but she is much more than just someone who has made acting his profession. After having spent almost 4 decades in the entertainment industry, it is quite unfair to present her achievements as an entertainer only as an actress.
Should we ask her to talk about herself and her achievements in the entertainment industry, Giselle would certainly point out, albeit subtly, that there are few of her kind in the United States of America. She would go beyond claiming that she is one of the most recognized and popular Hispanic actresses in the country and point out that she is one of the most admired entrepreneurs and television personalities in Latin America in equal measure.
Even if she comes across as arrogantly boastful, one would have no choice but to nod in agreement. One of the reasons for this is that Giselle Blondet became the host of Nuestra Belleza Latina, which is generally considered to be Univision’s most-watched reality show. Nevertheless, she also hosted the renowned morning show Despierta América.
Although Giselle Blondet is no longer very active in the entertainment industry, she is still relevant. The lady, who has been a spokesperson for L’Oreal Puerto Rico since 2014, is a compassionate advocate for the well-being of humanity.
