ABC ‘General Hospital’ (GH) star Sofia Mattsson is opening up about her humble beginnings and her road to fame. The actress, who is best known for her role as Sasha Gilmore on the hit ABC soap, says that her journey to Hollywood wasn’t what you would expect it to be. Here’s what she has to say.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Sofia says that she always knew that she wanted to be an actress. The problem was, she just had to find the right path for her to get to Hollywood. And as many fans already know, that path can surely be a windy road, especially depending on what turns you take.
ABC ‘General Hospital’ News: Sofia Mattsson Opens Up About Her Very Humble Beginnings
She told the publication, “I came to California from Sweden on a modeling visa, and you’re very strictly only allowed to work at what you came here for. So when I had a modeling visa, I could only model. I have never been able to do any other jobs here. But when I was in Sweden as a teenager I worked at McDonald’s. That was the only day job I ever had.”
While there certainly are plenty of teenagers who work at fast-food franchises such as McDonald’s during their school years, it looks like Sofia always knew that she wanted to be an actress. While working her way up the entertainment world, she perfected her craft and impressed the producers of ‘General Hospital’ enough to give her a role on the show. And as they say, the rest is history. With that said, here’s hoping that we will see much more of Sofia on the canvas in the coming months!
