Madalina Ghenea, ‘underwater I found the strength for new professional challenges’

“I have been preparing for the role for many months, in addition to acting coach I have made continuous dives, a fantastic experience: immersing myself I have found the strength and the desire to overcome many challenges in life as a woman and as an actress, every role I play it is however an immersion in the character, both physically and psychologically “. This was stated by the actress Madalina Ghenea – already an iconic face in a series of arthouse films, from Sorrentino’s ‘Youth’ to Ridley Scott’s ‘House of Gucci’ – on the sidelines of the shooting in Malta of the survival thriller “Deep Fear” with directed by Marcus Adams. In the film, in which she stars alongside Ed Westwick (the Chuck Bass from the Gossip Girl series), Ghenea is Naomi, a young sailor who, during a voyage across the Caribbean to meet her boyfriend, finds herself rescuing a sinking ship . But aboard her, the three survivors are narcos traffickers who force her to dive into the wreck to recover 850 kilos of cocaine, all in waters infested with tiger sharks attracted by her corpses. Many, obviously, the underwater shots and “this time – he explains – I put all my fears aside, in the film I have many action, dramatic scenes that we prepared with a highly professional team”. A film that, he promises, “will keep the audience glued to the screen, thanks also to the work of the team of great professionals”. “In Malta – he adds – I am starting to read other scripts that have come to me: I would like to continue working with Italian directors which I have always appreciated, but after these adrenaline-pumping scenes I am ready for any new challenge, the set is like the sea: you never tire of seeing it, of living it, of diving and every time you come home you only wait when you return to shoot to relive other emotions, other lives “.
