More than a decade ago, Julia Barretto starred in her first lead role in the fantasy romance drama series Mirabella where she played the titular role. This year, the now 28-year-old actress gets reunited with one of her former leading men, Enrique Gil, from the 2014 ABS-CBN series. The two are set to star in a new television series to be directed by Antonette Jadaone.
“Excited ako. Na-pitch ito sa akin, I guess one year ago na rin. And I’m really excited that Enrique is on board because the last time na nagkatrabaho kami ni Quen was in Mirabella. I was 16, 17 years old. So that was in 2014, more than a decade ago. So I’m excited for this reunion series and I’m really looking forward to working with Quen again,” Julia shared during the Maya Black launch event held in Makati City.
Apart from acting, Julia admits she has also been enjoying her stint as a guest host on Eat Bulaga! “I am so happy and very grateful na napasama ako sa celebration nila na yun. They really are such a strong family. Grabe yung bond nila. So to even be invited sa ginagawa nila araw-araw. lalo na yung nag-celebrate sila ng 46 years, it really means a lot to me, more than people probably think. So nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila,” she said.
Stepping outside of her comfort zone as an actress, Julia explained why people are now seeing a more outgoing side to her on the show. “Because hindi alam, pag natatanong ako, sila lang din kasi ang nagtatanong sa akin kung puwede bang kumanta ako. Eh di okay (laughs). Hindi niyo naman ako tinatanong so hindi ako kakanta (laughs). But it’s really been fun. It just pays to be yourself, to be funny, to be weird. It’s a space where everything is allowed as long as its something good and fun and of support sa isa’t isa. Grateful alng ako na nakakapag-guest ako at naiisip nila ako na makasama kahit na twice or once a week. I really get excited,” she shared. (R.M. Santos/ push .com)
