Hi Ellie, please tell us a little about you?
Hi my name is Ellie Blue I am an actress, model, influencer, as well as an athlete. I have been acting and modeling for many years now and recently walked in New York Fashion Week.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Strong, Brave, and Kind
How did you get started into acting?
I was actually at a surf competition when I was about 8 years old and a lady asks for my picture to send to her agent we exchanged numbers and emails with her and from there I started acting and modeling.
How has this changed your life?
Being a model and actress has changed and impacted my life in many ways, I wouldn’t be the same girl I am today if I didn’t have all of these amazing experiences and meeting amazing people so I am very blessed and fortunate to be able to do what I love and call it work, I left my 4 acre farm with 138 animals in Jupiter Farms Florida, At the early age of 10 years old and moved to Studio City California to pursue my career in acting an modeling!
What projects you have been part of?
A couple projects I’ve done include walking in New York Fashion week, as well as being on a Disney plus show!
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
The most rewarding part of my job is being able to see my hard work pay off, unlike other jobs you can sit down turn on the tv and see yourself and all of the hard work you put in to get there.
What kind of roles do you like or would like to play and why?
Love playing roles in horror movies whether that be, being the scared character or being the character scaring. Horror is my favorite genre.
How do you balance your busy work life with your personal life?
Finding a balance between work, and personal life for me is very simple because its all I’ve ever know considering I’ve been doing this for so long.
Now talking about Instagram and social media, can you share some tips for keeping your account interesting?
Tip I have for keeping your social media interesting is to always be yourself. Being your authentic self is interesting, because there is so many people trying to be like everyone else. Why blend in when you can stand out?
You are followed by so many people. How do you feel about that pressure of doing always the right thing, and encourage people to follow their dreams?
It’s truly a blessing to be followed by so many people, and be able to encourage others to do whats right. I don’t feel much pressure about making sure I’m doing whats right.
What advice would you give to your younger self and why?
The advice I would give to my younger self is “You know who you are don’t let them tell you otherwise.” because growing up in a world were you are constantly told how to look, act, and dress whether or not your a model this happens to girls who aren’t there are going to be critics everywhere telling you what to do and who you are. But as long as you stay true to yourself no one can tell you anything.
How would your best friend describe you?
My best friend describes me and I quote “An outgoing social butterfly!”
What is your favorite healthy food?
My favorite food would have to be salmon with, brown rice, and either broccoli or cauliflower.
And your favorite cheat food?
I don’t have a “cheat food” because I always workout and train the sports I do, my body deserves anything it wants because food is fuel and restricting certain foods is never healthy however, balance is key! I play many competitive sports such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Boxing, Surfing, And Skateboarding.
What is your definition of happiness?
My own definition of happiness would have to be My family, Me, My dog Rocky, and the beach. That right there is all it takes to make me happy!
What is your idea of a perfect Sunday?
My Idea of a perfect Sunday would have to be Church, Gym, and Beach in that order!
What are three things you cannot live without?
3 things I cannot live without would have to be my family, my best friend Hope, and My dog Rocky.
