Bella Thorne is confident about who she is and where she comes from, and she wants her fans to know it.
The 22-year-old actress took to Instagram on Friday to open up about her Latin roots. She did so in a steamy selfie video, in which she is stripped down to nothing but a white sports bra and matching short shorts that hugged her hips.
"Being Cuban/Latin in most people's eyes means having dark eyes, dark hair, and dark skin, I'm naturally blonde I have hazel brown eyes and I try not to go in the sun because skin cancer runs in my family," the former Disney star captioned the sultry video.

She continued: "I put an effect on this video, and looking at it I like me looking tan with darker hair. Honestly I wish I looked more Latin so I could feel more Latin so I could feel closer to my father and be prouder of my heritage...to wear my heritage on my own skin."
"It's just hard sometimes when no one thinks u are who u are...and everyone wants u to be something else :/ I LOVE MY CUBAN HERITAGE," she concluded.

The sexy clip received over 2.7 million likes in less than a day. Some of the actress' fans were surprised to learn that she is Cuban and flooded her comments section with compliments.
"Possibly the most beautiful person I know," one user wrote.
