Tess Bu Cuarón was born on Christmas Eve
Born on Christmas Eve in 2003 in England, Bu is the only daughter of Alfonso Cuarón and Italian actress Annalisa Bugliani. In 2008, when she was five, her parents divorced, leaving her and her younger brother Olmo, then three, adjusting to life post-split.
She’s a singer
Cuarón’s musical journey started early. She mastered the piano by age four and later picked up the violin and guitar. “I did the Conservatory in Italy,” she told 1883 Magazine. “When it was classical training, I hated it but now I am super grateful that I did it because it gave me a base.”
