Vida Guerra Biography

Vida Guerra (born March 19, 1980 in Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban-born American model and occasional actress and singer. Her first notable appearance was in a photoshoot for the U.S. edition of FHM magazine, and since then, she has modeled for many other men's magazines, including Playboy. She often appears on Spanish television shows and is well known because of her large buttocks.

Early life

Born in Havana, Cuba, moved with her family to the United States soon after, ending up in the town of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. In interviews, Vida has said that she was teased because of the size of her derriere, which was rather large for someone of her otherwise small stature. Growing up she entered a couple of runway shows modeling swimwear, and appeared in a few music videos. She eventually became a loan officer. Vida Guerra fluently speaks Spanish and English.

Career

Her modeling career originally began when she was cast in a lingerie spread for FHM in December 2002. The magazine later reported that following the submission, almost one-third of their mail was from readers demanding more photos of Vida. She was called back for more photo shoots and became "FHM's Model of the Year" in 2004. Serves as February in FHM's 2004 calendar.

Since then, she has been featured on the front cover as well as on the inside of many magazines, including DUB Magazine, Smooth, Escape, and Open Your Eyes (Abre Tus Ojos), and has made multiple appearances on several Spanish language television programs such as El Gordo y La Flaca (The Fat Man and the Skinny Woman). Vida has also become a staple in music videos, appearing in "Shake Your Tailfeather" (P. Diddy, Nelly and Murphy Lee, from the Bad Boys 2 soundtrack) and "The New Workout Plan" (Kanye West), in "Obsession" (Frankie J) among others. Additionally, she has appeared in Burger King's Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch commercial, a couple of sketches on Chappelle's Show, like the infamous "Piss On You" videos (spoofing the infamous R. Kelly sex tape), and also appeared in the film National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2. Vida lent her voice to the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.

In April 2005, Guerra's camera phone was allegedly hacked. Dozens of her photos, including nude pictures as well as personal photos, were posted on the Internet and disseminated widely. In interviews, Guerra said the nude body images were of another woman, and that they were presented along with actual non-nude camera phone images of herself to give the appearance that she was the naked woman pictured.

Guerra has made her own calendar. Despite not posing nude for formal photo shoots in the past, Guerra appeared fully nude in the July 2006 issue of Playboy Magazine (cover, included 10-page nude pictorial). She said that she had agreed to pose partly because she felt that they would do it with class, and partly because, due to the hacked phone incident, she wanted people to know what she really looked like naked, and not confuse her with some other woman. She also appeared in the Jan/Feb 2007 issue of FHM. Named #26 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005" special supplement. Named #21 in FHM magazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006" supplement.
