Sara Engerdahl arrived at Santa Monica beach to enjoy the California sun. Nothing more. No followers, no cameras, no Chile on the radar. Then Roberto Cox appeared.
The Chilevisión journalist stopped her during his coverage of the 2026 World Cup for the show ‘Plan Perfecto’, and while Sara thought they were filming her without permission — because, in fact, they were filming her without permission — in the studio Fran García-Huidobro and Eduardo De la Iglesia had already gotten her Instagram handle to “set her up” with the correspondent. Sara, who is Swedish, took part in the reality show ‘Ex On The Beach’ in her country and was passing through Los Angeles before graduating from two university degrees. Bad time to be good-looking. 😅
The result: in just a few hours she went from 12 thousand to more than 21 thousand followers. She herself admitted to LUN that at first she was “a little annoyed” when she noticed the cameras, but that things ended up being pleasant. Today, thanks to a World Cup live shot nobody asked for, Sara Engerdahl is basically famous in Chile. The longest country in the world found its new favorite influencer on a beach that isn’t even in Chile.
