Ísis Valverde is a highly celebrated Brazilian actress who makes her international English-language film debut in the 2025 action-thriller Alarum. Born on February 17, 1987, in Aiuruoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil, Valverde began her career as a model at age 16 before moving to Rio de Janeiro to study theater. She rose to national stardom through her extensive work with Rede Globo, Brazil's largest television network, becoming a household name for her roles in popular telenovelas such as Avenida Brasil (as the charismatic Suellen), Ti Ti Ti, and Caminho das Índias. Over her nearly two-decade career, she has won several prestigious awards in Brazil, including the Melhores do Ano for Best Supporting Actress. In Alarum (2025), Valverde portrays Bridgette Rousseau, the wife of Roland Rousseau (Joel Cohen). Her character is central to the film's high-stakes "escort mission" plot, as she and her husband are high-value targets caught in the crossfire of rival intelligence agencies and rogue spies. This role marks a significant pivot in her career as she expands into Hollywood alongside stars like Sylvester Stallone and Scott Eastwood.
