Biography of Gina Carano
Gina Carano is a renowned Mixed Martial Arts fighter turned actress, starring in films like "Haywire", "In the Blood", "Deadpool", and "The Mandalorian," plus appearing on "American Gladiators".
Childhood and Adolescence
Gina is the middle child of American football player Glenn Carano and housewife Dana Cason. In addition to Gina, the family has two other daughters. Gina was born in Texas, but soon moved to Los Angeles when her mother relocated there with her daughters after the divorce.

Sports Career
Hard to believe, but in her youth, Gina was overweight and deeply insecure about her appearance. Her boyfriend Kevin Ross, a professional Thai boxer, suggested she try Eastern martial arts and brought her to a Muay Thai gym. Gina immediately liked this sport, where she could rely entirely on herself. She quickly got into training mode and made a big statement at a tournament in San Francisco.

Acting Career
Right after her dramatic loss to the Brazilian fighter, Soderbergh's assistant reached out to Carano with an offer to star in the movie "Haywire". Despite still having an unhealed bruise under her eye, Gina went to the auditions and quickly landed the lead role of special agent Mallory Kane. Carano's co-stars included Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender. The actress was pleased with her debut – in 2013, she even scored a Critics' Choice Award nomination for best actress in an action movie, though she lost to Jennifer Lawrence.

"The Mandalorian"
Gina Carano landed the role of rebel Cara Dune in "The Mandalorian" series set in the "Star Wars" universe. Director Jon Favreau could only envision the MMA star in this role, and she delivered. Following the series' success, Disney even planned a spin-off centered around Gina's character.
The final straw was her criticism of the presidential election: Carano questioned whether Joe Biden won fairly.
This sparked a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #FireGinaCarano, and media reports suggested Disney pressured the actress to apologize, but Carano refused to back down. Ultimately, Disney fired Gina from "The Mandalorian." The official reason was a tweet where Carano compared Nazi Germany to modern America:We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today. Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Carano's firing prompted many fans to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions. Gina was ready for this outcome and didn't mourn losing Cara Dune, instead announcing a new film backed by conservative outlet The Daily Wire. "We can't be 'canceled' if we don't allow it," Gina summarized.Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors.... even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
Gina Carano's Personal Life
After her breakup with Kevin Ross, who introduced her to Eastern martial arts, Gina started dating another martial arts expert, Kit Cope. This romance ended even quicker, and worse, her ex allegedly blackmailed her for months, threatening to release intimate videos.
