“It is so important. It’s the reason why I wanted to do the movie. It’s authentically Latin. There’s no check the box, let’s insert Latino character here. It’s Dora, she’s Latina,” the 44-year-old actor told ExtraTV.

“Of course her parents would be Latino and then her friend Diego, he’s Latino. And they have a grandma. It’s not forced upon you. No one’s hitting you on the head with a tortilla,” she added.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold is set to be released in the US on August 9.
