Carla mentions that she was rejected in the first casting what did he do for The Squid Game, but he did not give up and tried again a second time, landing a small role as a living statue while the VIP members watch the final games from a special room. In this regard, the Mexican commented for a magazine:

To be honest, I hardly shared my appearance on the Netflix series, Squid game. But some friends recognized me and texted me about it. So, after some thought, I decided to share it.

The reason I didn’t want to share it is because I was feeling a bit shy as I am completely ‘exposed’ and because I had a bad experience with the casting agency that hired me. Anyway … so let’s focus on the good side of this experience.

It was the first time I did a bodypainting job. It took them a few hours to do the complete painting. Especially on the first day, the manager took almost the whole morning to paint us and going to the bathroom was really difficult! Also, I had to stay still and move the least because the paint was falling off. Still, it was a great experience and I would consider doing it again.
