At 26 years old, Sophia forrest managed to forge an important career as an actress. The young Australian came to the big screen at 22 at the hands of her compatriot, Russell crowe, who directed her in the film The water master, which he himself starred in. And the good vibes between the two gave rise to endless rumors of romance that they themselves were in charge of denying. “Could you not fill your pages with deliberate lies about relationships I’ve never had? Thanks in advance ”, the Hollywood star had written on his Twitter account to deny the versions published by the magazine Woman’s day.

And the reality is that Sophia did not need a media romance or the facilities that the simple fact of being the daughter of Andrew Forrest, one of the hundred richest men in the world, to achieve his goal. “She is a woman who has her feet on the ground, an undeniable presence on the screen, an iron determination and a desire to transcend. Added to that is her beauty and a natural sense of fun, a very powerful combination.“Crowe had assured then, who ended up becoming a great friend of the young woman.

Then came television, where he had one of the leading roles in the series Love Child. This was followed by an independent film, Reaching Distance. Then she was the princess of Aquaman. He also participated in Ride Like a Girl. And all this allowed him to consolidate his own name in the world of entertainment. “Growing up, I avoided being associated with Twiggy”Said Sophia, referring to the nickname by which her 59-year-old father is known in the media, famous both for his economic endeavors and for his philanthropic work.

“I am very proud of my father, but Twiggy is a construction of the media and because of that, sometimes people would presuppose things about me and even think the worst”Sophia explained. Daughter of Andrew and Nicola Forrest, in charge of a foundation focused on education and the arts, the young woman also has two brothers: Sydney, the lowest profile of the family, and Grace, co-founder and president of Walk free, an NGO dedicated to combating slave labor. “My family is very close and my best memories are of the trips we took together. At 9, we did not go to school for a year and traveled all over the world. It was the most incredible experience: we ate everything, I walked through Machu Picchu … And also part of the trip was to see what we could do to help, “said the actress.

The truth is that, in the last days, the surname Forrest began to sound strong in Argentinaa, to know the news that the country will receive an investment of USD 8.4 billion through his company, Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), to produce green hydrogen in the province of Río Negro.

But the reality is that, for Sophia, neither the businesses nor the important donations of her father are news. In 2017, the businessman and his wife donated $ 400 million to various charities. But this laudable attitude raised several questions on social networks, which wondered what the reaction of Forrest’s children would be when they saw the family coffers diminished. However, the actress surprised with her response to the magazine Sunday life: “Heredity has never made sense to me. You are not entitled to that money, you have not earned it, you have not worked for it, so I don’t see why you think it should be yours. So all the brothers agreed to give it all away“.
