Eiza González currently lives a busy lifestyle. That means she’s been filming one movie after the next, prepping for red carpet events and more recently attended the Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of Paradise Hills where she stars alongside Emma Roberts and Milla Jovovich. However, the actress, who celebrated her 29th birthday on January 30, took a few minutes of her jam-packed day to honor and thank her parents. Eiza took to Instagram to share a carousel of throwback photos featuring her mom and dad and in the caption she thanked them for making her the woman she is today.

“A lot of decisions I make regarding the characters I portray are made thinking about not misrepresenting Mexican women and in the end, they’re the ones that criticize,” she said. “It doesn’t make me mad. It hurts a lot though.” She continued: “I wish there was more support among us,” she added.
