This work, as Bella herself admitted, was her first step into the world of mainstream cinema, where she is predicted to have a bright future.
Bella Thorne was born on October 8, , in Pembroke Pines, Florida, and became the youngest child in the Thorne family. From a young age, all four children became interested in children's shows and, with their parents' permission, even decided to try their own skills. Interestingly, all four quickly caught the attention of producers from children's channels and started appearing on screen. Bella's career, of course, stood out the most, as she impressed producers and directors at Disney Channel from the very first moments of their meeting. Thanks to her charisma and natural acting talent, she was increasingly offered roles in shows and children's series.
In , Thorne played a minor role in the comedy "Stuck on You" and subsequently appeared in several other series, such as "Dirty Sexy Money," "October Road," "The O.C.," and "The Seer." Bella gained the most attention from viewers for her role in the series "My Own Worst Enemy," for which she received the Young Artist Award from the Young Artist Foundation. According to the actress, her role in "My Own Worst Enemy" was a breakthrough in her career that caught the attention of popular producers and directors.
In , Bella was invited to one of the leading roles in the show "Shake It Up!" Initially titled "Dance, Dance Chicago," Thorne was given the role of a young and ambitious girl with dyslexia who seriously decided to pursue a career as a professional dancer in California. With the help of her friend and dance partner, she goes through several stages of growth and experiences all the fears and anxieties of adolescence that every teenage girl goes through at some point. Bella explained that working on "Shake It Up!" was particularly interesting to her because events in her personal life often coincided with events on the screen, so she often had to make choices and find solutions to difficult situations. Despite the complexity of the task, Bella managed to find the strength for her "two lives" - on-screen and real - which became equally important and real to her.
The series quickly gained popularity in North America, leading the creators to decide to shoot two more seasons and extend the filming period for another two years. Over the course of three years on "Shake It Up!" Bella not only grew up but also noticeably grew in her creative abilities, becoming a young woman rather than a teenager who had just come to the set of the series.
After finishing her role on the long-running project from Disney Channel, Bella decided to try her hand at feature films and almost immediately received several offers. In , the romantic comedy "Blended" was released, in which Bella played one of the main roles. Currently, Bella is involved in several projects that are scheduled for release in
