Genesis Rodriguez Hebrew Tattoo
Latina actress Genesis Rodriguez expressed her love for Israel to the Israeli journalist and blogger Yanir Dekel. “I got a tattoo because I was in Israel,” she told him, and revealed her “Hamsa” tattoo on her right leg (‘Hamsa’ is a palm-shaped amulet that provides superstitious defense against the evil eye, it is believed in the Middle East) with the word “Chai” (‘alive’) in Hebrew in the middle.
“I was supposed to take a week in Israel after appearing in a Spanish television show and they took me there because of a soap opera, I didn’t know that soap operas are so huge over there,” she told the blogger. “It was so cool. I like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, they are so different but what you feel… people thought I’m so weird or on drugs but I was feeling the walls and saying to myself this has been there for over 2000 years. It was incredible. They also taught me to say the name of the TV show I was working on in Hebrew. ‘Ha’asira’ ['The Prisoner']”
Rodriguez is the hottest new Latina around, since her Hollywood schedule is full at least until the end of next year. Not only does she currently appear opposite Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks in ‘Man on a Ledge’ (now in theaters), she’s about to appear in ‘What to expect when You’re Expecting,’ opposite Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, in ‘Casa de Mi Padre’ opposite Will Ferrell, and in ‘The Last Stand’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
