Maxim recently ranked her #70 on their list of the Hottest Girls in the World. Her dark red lips, her spellbinding stare, and her undeniable charm definitely make her one of the best Croatian exports we've ever come across.
She then relocated to Los Angeles, where she started to model for companies like Versace, Erreuno, and Les Copains. A mere four months after her move to America, she was cast in the music video of a little-known Puerto Rican pop star.
The singer was Ricky Martin and the video was for the song "Livin' La Vida Loca." Not only did the song prove to be a chart-topper, but it was nominated for six trophies at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, taking home the titles of Best Dance Video and Best Pop Video. As the brunette seen draped all over the Latino heartthrob, Nina left a lasting impression.
At the time, there were talks of making a sequel to the 1994 blockbuster film The Mask and Jim Carrey desperately wanted to cast the beautiful Nina Moric as the female lead. Unfortunately, negotiations fell through and Canadian funnyman Carrey left the project.
When she was 20 years old, Nina decided she wanted to model. After she became Miss Croatia, she entered the 1996 Elite Look of the Year modeling competition where she came in second place. This led to a two-year contract with the Croatian modeling agency Midiken, a deal worth $75,000 US.
Making waves on the catwalks of Milan, she entered the Elite Look of the Year competition once more in 1998, coming in first place. She quickly signed another two-year contract, but this time with the prominent outfit L.A. Models.
Four months later, she was cast in the Ricky Martin video for "Livin' La Vida Loca," which made her famous the world over. After modeling for companies like Versace, Erreuno, and Les Copains, she moved to Italy where she started a television career on shows such as Torno Sabato and Convenscion2001.
In 2000, she wanted to make a name for herself in the music business. She associated herself with techno/dance producer Joe T. Vannelli and soon after released a single called "Star." She plans to record an album in the near future.
Nina Moric was born in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, on July 22, 1976. She grew up in an upper-middle class household, and her parents, a doctor and an economist, encouraged her follow her dream of becoming a lawyer.
Nina recognized that although she had the brains to pursue the higher intellectual echelons, her body could put most women's to shame. So she entered a national pageant and was awarded the title of Miss Croatia. At that moment, she decided that she could very well be a world-famous model.
Having realized her dream of becoming a world-famous model, Nina discovered that she was a star in Italy, and became a TV correspondent on Torno Sabato with Giorgio Panariello on RAI1.
She was also on Canale5 with Luca Barbareschi and she played Bora the Vampiress with Natasha Stefanenko and Enrico Bertolino on RAI2's Convenscion2001. She did television commercials for perfumes, fashion lines, as well as for Citizen watches and Infiore swimwear.
In 2000, she decided that music was something she wanted to try. Teaming up with techno/dance producer Joe T. Vannelli, a man who had worked with artists such as Erasure, New Order, and Bobby Brown, she released a single called "Star."
