Some people have questioned Anne Curtis’ suitability in
playing the titular role of Dyesebel but they certainly don’t include
Marian Rivera who donned the fins and shell brassiere of the mermaid
character some years ago.
Marian even pointed out that in show business, it is inevitable that a character is sometimes played by different actors. “Umiikot yan eh,” she quipped.
The Kapuso actress downplayed comparisons and the intrigues being sown between them. Marian even expressed gratitude that while they are signed to different networks, Anne complimented the former’s high-fashion photo shoot that came out on a magazine recently.
“Hindi man kami nagte-text-an o lumalabas na magkasama eh alam namin na magkaibigan kaming dalawa. Kahit na hindi ako taga-kanila (ABS-CBN), sa mga ganitong pagkakataon ay nawawala 'yung wall ng networks. Hindi naman masamang pumuri at magmahal ng iba kahit na hindi mo ka-network," Marian said.
Speaking of rival networks, rumors have it that Marian is being primed to play leading lady to a Kapamilya actor in a movie. However, the actress refused to say anything about it, believing that until contracts are signed, scripts are sent and cameras start grinding, it is best to keep one’s lips sealed on such matters.
“Kasi ang daming nababago, like (in the case of Kapamilya actor) Coco Martin before. Dapat may gagawin kaming pelikula pero hindi natuloy. So, siguro kapag nandiyan na at may script na at nagro-rolling na kami, siguro doon masasabi ko na matutuloy na talaga."
Marian pointed out that she’s always excited to work with different actors, regardless where their allegiance lies.
“Every moment na may bagong project, babae man iyan o lalaki, excited ako na makatrabaho sila dahil alam ko na may matututunan ako sa kanila," she said.
Marian is the first celebrity endorser of Sof & mmmmm Premium Fragrances fabric conditioner. Apparently, she was chosen to pitch for the brand after she topped the survey conducted by product maker, Personal Collection Direct Selling Inc.
