Adria Arjona’s Early Life and Heritage
Adria Arjona was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on April 25, 1992, though she was raised primarily in Mexico City. This multicultural upbringing has deeply influenced her identity. Her father, Ricardo Arjona, a celebrated Guatemalan musician, contributed to her diverse cultural ties, allowing her to embrace a mixture of backgrounds.
In a previous interview, Arjona expressed the complexity of her cultural identity, highlighting her connection to Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and Mexico while also feeling unrooted in a singular place. She said,
I feel very Puerto Rican when I’m in the island. I feel very Guatemalan when I’m in Guatemala. I feel Mexican when I’m in Mexico,
adding,
I don’t know where I identify from, that’s really hard for me. And even when I speak Spanish, no one can really catch my accent. I’m proud to be Puerto Rican, I am proud to be Guatemalan, I am proud to have been raised in Mexico, but I’m also proud that I don’t feel like I belong anywhere. And that’s helped me through my acting. I don’t have tied roots anywhere.

Adria Arjona’s Acting Career
After honing her craft at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, Arjona pursued acting roles in both film and television. Her early career featured supporting roles in films like 6 Underground, Life of the Party, and the reboot of Father of the Bride. In 2017, she starred as Dorothy in the adaptation of Emerald City, though the series lasted only one season.
Arjona gained wider recognition five years later when she was cast as Martine Bancroft in the Marvel movie Morbius. The role brought a mix of excitement and nerves, which she described candidly.
I’m not going to lie, it was pretty nerve-wracking at the beginning,
she said.
You know, when you get a script like [the] one for Morbius, your initial reaction is pure nerves. But, you sort of have to get up, start gearing up and getting ready to play this character—you have to sort of put the nerves aside.

She also praised the Marvel franchise, calling it
such an amazing universe to be a part of.
Beyond the superhero genre, Arjona appeared in Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, playing the character Sarah. (Notably, Kravitz is Jason Momoa’s stepdaughter through his former marriage.) Additionally, Arjona starred alongside Glen Powell in the 2023 film Hit Man.
Support from Her Father Throughout Her Career
Adria Arjona has credited her father, Ricardo Arjona, as a major influence and supporter who motivated her artistic growth. In a 2018 interview, she described his encouragement and dedication to her craft.
He motivates me and pushes my limits and makes sure that I’m always growing as an artist,
Arjona said, adding,
He is constantly making me cultivate my head, not just my physicality.
She also described him as her number one fan:
He shows my clips to all of his friends and it’s really cute. I’m happy that I can make him proud.
