Susana Giménez gave a forceful statement about her future biopic and flatly ruled out China Suárez as a possible lead. The diva was approached by the press upon her return to Buenos Aires and did not hesitate to make her position clear.
The production that will review her life and career is still in the writing stage. However, the issue of the casting is already generating expectations and inevitable questions.

Susana's unfiltered response
The exchange took place when a field reporter asked her whether she imagined any actress to play her. Giménez avoided giving names, but the insistence led to a direct question about China Suárez.
The reaction was immediate and straightforward: "Noooo, never". She then explained that, in her view, she doesn't have the physique du rôle, that is, the physical and expressive resemblance necessary to embody her character.
"Not everyone has that gift"
When she was asked again about other actresses, the journalist mentioned Sofía Gala. In that case, Susana completely changed her tone and was full of praise.
"Sofía is a brilliant actress, she can do anything. Not everyone has that gift", she stated, drawing a clear distinction between acting ability and simple popularity.
A precedent that explains her stance
Susana's refusal is not new. In the past, she had already questioned China Suárez's work when the actress had to play her in a drama about Sandro.

In a previous interview, the host said that she had not liked the way she was portrayed. She even revealed that she told her so in person.
Criticism for lack of context
As she explained, the actress used expressions and idioms that did not correspond to the period depicted. "She said things out of time, when I had not even started on television yet", she recalled.
That episode ended up cementing her critical view of the possibility that she would play her again in a larger-scale project.

Meanwhile, China Suárez became a trend on social media again for reasons unrelated to the biopic. From Türkiye, where she is accompanying Mauro Icardi, she shared images that sparked comments about an alleged cosmetic touch-up.
