Born in Barcelona, Corberó pursued commercial work at a young age before landing her TV debut on the series Mirall trencat at 13. From there, her television career took off. Her best-known early work was on the high school drama Física o Química (Physics or Chemistry, in English), in which she played Ruth, a student at the show’s Zurbarán High School. While the series courted controversy, Corberó’s performance as a teen struggling with bulimia was critically hailed, netting her awards from Kapital and Top Glamour.
Corberó’s next stop was on the drama series 14 de Abril. La República, which launched in 2011, but saw the broadcast of its second season delayed a full eight years due to political controversy. During the interim, she shot a couple of poorly-received horror films before taking on quality parts in the Colombian production Crimen con vista al Mar and the 2013 comedy ¿Quién mató a Bambi?. She also dipped her toe into American entertainment for the first time, providing the Spanish-language voice track for Sam in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. She’d return to that well for 2016’s The Secret Life of Pets, but not before winning several more successful television gigs, including as Margaret of Austria in the historical series Isabel.
With both her comedic and dramatic chops established, Corberó was ready for the role that would make her a globally-known name.
