Simona, whose last name is Tabasco, likes to keep things spicy and even has a [chili-pepper tattoo on her forearm. “Yes! I love it,” she told Vulture about being named after hot sauce. “I love that it’s in my name and part of me. But specifically, it reflects my personality — or at least half of it. There’s a side to me that’s quite quirky and spicy.”
Simona takes her career very seriously. When asked why she didn’t take part in the White Lotus cast karaoke night, she revealed to Vulture that she prioritized work. “I did not because I was scheduled to shoot early the next morning, so I was probably in my room sleeping or rehearsing. In the first weeks, I was very focused on memorizing my lines because I really wanted to be prepared. I thought my English was an extra concern when we started the project. But once things eased up and I got a little more confident, we did have a lot of time to hang out. [In English] But I like karaoke!” she said.
Simona spends a lot of time in the water and loves to swim. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
Simona also gets outside and goes for hikes. “People in love,” she captioned this post. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service.
Simona, who is Italian, is a lover of coffee. “Coffee after Lunch,” she captioned a post. According to a new 2022 study published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, “drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.”
