In an interview with Glamour, Melia admitted that even though everyone assumes she can speak Greek fluently, she had to figure out how to do a Greek accent.

“A Greek accent is actually the hardest accent for me to do. So I’m sitting there training my mouth to roll the R’s and all that stuff. But it was a really fun process for me,” she said.

One of her biggest dreams is to open a shelter for strays in Greece and she plans to raise money or find funding to make this dream come true.
