00:00A Larissa é frágil, sensível e a Anitta é super durona.

00:04Why when I do my things in Brazil with my people,

00:07things don't happen like that.

00:08That's Brazilian pop star Anitta,

00:10whose birth name is Larissa,

00:12is giving fans an intimate look at who she really is

00:15in the new Netflix documentary,

00:17Larissa, The Other Side of Anitta.

00:19And Anitta reveals to AXS Guest Correspondent,

00:21Emily Orozco, why she's now letting her true self emerge.

00:27I wanna cry.

00:29What inspired you to tell this story?

00:31I think people look at the TV or look at Instagram

00:36and think, oh, this person has a perfect life.

00:38And I just wanted to show that inside,

00:41we're all dealing with our internal battle.

00:44Ever since her 2021 single Involver

00:46topped the Billboard charts

00:47and became an international breakthrough hit

00:49with over 800 million views on YouTube,

00:52Anitta's star has continued to rise.

00:54But as the documentary shows,

00:55Anitta's pop persona is just that,

00:57as only her inner circle knows the real Larissa.

01:00How would you describe the difference

01:01between Larissa and Anitta?

01:03As Larissa, I feel like I'm free to be insecure sometimes.

01:08I'm free to be scared.

01:10I'm free to be sad, vulnerable.

01:13Anitta is the one that's not afraid of saying anything.

01:17You talk about getting bullied growing up,

01:19which is like, you know,

01:20it's so hard for us to think of that

01:22because you're so beautiful.

01:23I have so many plastic surgeries.

01:26I know.

01:27And you're very open about this.

01:29Never shying away from the topic

01:30of her physical enhancements,

01:31Anitta even documented her plastic surgery journey

01:34in the video for her 2022 single Versions of Me,

01:38which depicts her transformation throughout the years.

01:41Was bullying the reason

01:42that you explored plastic surgery?

01:44Yeah.

01:45Yes, because I didn't even know that I had a big nose.

01:51I don't have it now,

01:53but I've noticed because of how people

01:56were making fun of it.

01:58So I think the beginning was because of that.

02:01And, but then I just got the taste for it.

02:03And now I just like it.

02:09The documentary also showcases

02:10some of Anitta's romantic life

02:11as she begins to form an intimate relationship

02:13with co-director and old friend, Pedro Cantelmo.

02:16I remembered that Pedro, my crush from when I was a kid,

02:20he became a film director.

02:22So I text him and he came to my life.

02:25But then with the intimacy, we ended up relating again

02:29and that made the whole movie even more special.

02:33People are gonna wonder if you're with Pedro.

02:35So you're-

02:35No, I'm not.

02:36Okay, you're single.

02:37Yes, I mean, I don't know if I'm single,

02:39but I'm not with Pedro.

02:43She's definitely not with Pedro.

02:45That's very clear.

02:46True.

02:46Gotta keep a little mystery.

02:47Larissa, the other side of Anitta is out now on Netflix.
