Nives Celzijus has given her followers a humorous glimpse into the less glamorous side of acting. The Croatian singer, actress, and writer shared a video on Instagram showing herself fast asleep while surrounded by scripts for her current role in the TV series "Slučajna obitelj" (Accidental Family).
In the clip, filmed by her daughter, Celzijus is seen dozing on her bed and then on the living room couch, with printed pages of dialogue scattered around her. A child's voice can be heard saying, "Mama opet uči tekst" ("Mum is learning lines again"), adding a warm, personal touch. The video is set to cheerful background music and prompted an avalanche of positive reactions from her followers.
Celzijus, who plays the ambitious mayor Lada Bilić in the daily drama, captioned the post: "Predana poslu... i dok spavam!!!" ("Dedicated to work... even while sleeping!!!"). The post highlights the demanding pace of daytime television, where actors often need to memorise dozens of pages of dialogue in a single evening for early morning shoots.
Many fans praised her work ethic and offered friendly advice, with one suggesting she read the script aloud to remember lines faster. Others noted that late-night studying now saves trouble on set later, wishing her a well-deserved rest.
