Mika Abdalla Covers CULTURED's Cult of Personality Issue

Mika Abdalla, the actress from the popular Prime Video series 'Off Campus,' is featured on the cover of CULTURED magazine's latest Cult of Personality issue. In her Vancouver interview, she talks about the buzz surrounding her character Allie Hayes's haircut, known as 'the Allie,' which fans are eager to copy. Interestingly, while her character is described as blonde with blue eyes, she doesn’t fit that description herself. Initially anxious about potential backlash, Abdalla had auditioned for Hannah but felt a connection to Allie, the lively best friend, whose romance with hockey player Dean Di Laurentis will be highlighted in the upcoming season two. The show shattered Prime Video records with 36 million viewers in just 12 days and boasts the highest Rotten Tomatoes score for a romance this past year. Abdalla shares her experiences with intense fan scrutiny and paparazzi, and mentions a plea from writer Raina Morris for fans to refrain from contacting her family. To stay under the radar, she often dons a hat and hoodie. The article also discusses the show's steamy scenes, which are carefully choreographed to ensure comfort for the actors. Describing herself as neurotic, Abdalla finds solace in Allie's character, saying the role felt natural from the start. The feature showcases photos by Elizabeth Miranda and styling by Caitlyn Beattie, all captured at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver.
