How Her Modeling Career Began

She won the Croatian "Look of the Year" competition, which was run by the famous Elite Model Management agency. This big win launched her career as a professional model.
Becoming a Star
In 1999, Morić's career reached a new level when she appeared in Ricky Martin's popular music video for his song "Livin' La Vida Loca". This made her recognizable to people all over the world.
Around the same time, she was considered for a major movie role. Actor Jim Carrey wanted her to star in a sequel to his 1994 film, The Mask. Unfortunately, the plans for the movie changed, and it did not happen.
Working in High Fashion
As a model, Morić worked with some of the biggest names in fashion. She modeled for famous brands and designers like Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Valentino.
She also appeared on the covers of many international magazines. After finding success in the United States, she moved to Italy. There, she continued her modeling career and also worked as a television host.
Personal Life
From 2001 to 2007, Nina Morić was married to Fabrizio Corona, a well-known photographer. They have a son named Carlos, who was born in 2002. After being married for two years, Morić officially became an Italian citizen.
Political Interests
Later in her career, Nina Morić became known for sharing her political opinions. In 2017, she became involved with an Italian political group called CasaPound.
She participated in events to discuss topics like immigration laws in Italy. She also expressed her views on historical figures from her home country's past, such as the former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito.
A Social Media Mix-Up
In August 2017, Morić made a mistake on social media that got a lot of attention. She saw a photo of the famous actor Samuel L. Jackson and basketball legend Magic Johnson sitting on a bench in Italy with luxury shopping bags. She mistook them for migrants and posted about it.
After realizing her error, she explained that her post was meant to be a social experiment. She said she wanted to see how people would react to the picture, which had been shared online to test people's views on migrants in Italy.
