Isabela Moner: biography

Even though she is only seventeen years old, Isabela Moner is already considered an established Hollywood star. The name of the aspiring actress is associated with her characters of Izabella in Transformers: The Last Knight, and Lizzie in Instant Family, as well as her work on the television show 100 Things To Do Before High School, broadcast on a channel for kids and teenagers, Nickelodeon.

Childhood and youth

On July 10, 2001, Isabela Moner was born in the biggest city of the American state of Ohio.

Her mother, Katherine Moner, a talent agent, is from Lima, Peru, and her dad, who runs a small business, comes from Louisiana. She grew up in a happy, loving family with her two brothers, Gyovanni and Jared Moner who always stood by their sister. In various interviews, Isabela mentioned that English was her second language, Spanish being her first. When she first went to school, she even had some difficulties because at that time she wasn’t able to speak English very well. When asked about her childhood, the actress said that the first thing that came to mind was that she was a hyperactive and very loud child at home and a shy and quiet pupil at school.

The child wished to have a creative career since she was tiny, and at the age of seven, she performed on stage for the first time. Even back then she already knew that acting was her dream job. The girl spent hours watching movies starring Shirley Temple and Judy Garland, who were her childhood and teenage icons. When she was fifteen, she enrolled at College.

Movie career

Isabela Moner always wanted to star in movies and TV shows and made her Broadway debut when she was ten years old, playing in the musical Evita.

In 2014, Moner received an invitation to participate in the filming of the American sitcom, Growing Up Fisher, which starred J. K. Simmons (as Mel Fisher) and Eli Baker (as Henry Fisher).

The television series was low-rated, and so the producers decided to cancel it after the first season. It didn’t take the young girl long to find a new job: after a couple of auditions, she got a part in the teenage project 100 Things To Do Before High School. In the series Moner (her character’s name is CJ Martin), Jaheem King Toombs and Owen Joyner play a trio of best friends who want to enjoy their last year in middle school and together come up with a list of 100 things they need to get done before they start attending high school.
