Nina Dobrev aka Nina biography

Real biography: Nina Dobrev was born in Bulgaria, and instead of hanging around the old country making goulash, she moved to the land of maple syrup (Canada, eh) and became a star. Nina has risen to fame on the hit Canadian television show, Degrassi: The Next Generation. The show’s in its sixth season, and Mia has earned legion of fans by playing a single mother, Mia Jones.

Nina was born in Bulgaria, and moved to Canada at the tender age of two years old. Nina competed in gymnastics, on an international level, while growing up. However, when she entered her teens she decided to switch from a pursuit of the flexible arts, to acting. Her parents were able to get her into the Dean Armstrong Acting school. She landed several film and TV movie parts while in high school, and balanced both her studies and work. As if that weren’t impressive enough, Nina became fluent in French (her third language after Bulgarian and English).

Currently, she’s starring in the hit show, Degrassi: The Next Generation. Despite sounding like some sort of Star Trek spin off, Degrassi is actually a soap set in a junior high school. Pre-teen angst, it’s hot in Canada, eh? Nina is also starting her post secondary studies at Ryerson University in Toronto. Nina’s majoring in Sociology (in case her red hot acting career falls apart for some reason). Nina also recently traveled to Africa with five fellow members of the Degrassi cast to build a school in Kenya with the renowned organization "Free The Children". A documentary about the trip is set to air on MTV Canada this winter.

Nina’s pursuing feature film work during her hiatuses from Degrassi. Nina plans to continue to aid African youth when not attending college classes and working on her show. Hey, she should have plenty of spare time – No sweat. Her work ethic raises the question of whether or not Bulgarians sleep. Nina, please enlighten us.
