But sorry, folks. She would rather keep people guessing about what exactly this change is all about.
Was the man’s chopped head she was holding in a magazine cover supposed to represent Piolo Pascual, her ex-boyfriend? She’d rather speak in riddles.
“Nothing is an accident. I would rather not talk about it,” she tells this writer at the story conference of Viva Entertainment’s upcoming movie, “Nothing Compares to You,” where KC stars with Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsey.
KC would rather turn to art to vent her feelings.
“Dinaan ko na lang sa art ang struggle ko,” she says relates.
KC insists she is not the type who will do things just because people tell her to. She must want to do them.
“It comes from a feeling that you want to do it,” she explains.
Thus, she agreed to hold that chopped head because she wanted to do it. She held her pet snake over that chopped head because she wanted to say something very important. Things just fell into place.
“We didn’t talk about how the cover would look like. Dinala ko lang ang pet snake ko kasi I wanted to show it to Mark Nicdao (of “Rogue” Magazine).
'Wild’ rumors
No, she shakes her head. KC didn’t go wild after that earth-shaking heartbreak.
“I wasn’t doing it because nagwala ako. You have to look deeper. Pictures say a thousand words.”
Unlike her mom, Sharon Cuneta, who calls a spade a spade and doesn’t mince words when facing her bashers, KC would rather let things go.
“Kung may mga bashers, kung may nagsasabing negative, hindi ako magrereklamo,” she explains.
She should know. As the daughter of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion, KC has been in a goldfish bowl ever since she was born.
“Ipinanganak ako na may basher, dahil lang pinanganak ako. Di panindigan ko na. Hindi ako magrereklamo,” she explains.
Yes, the criticisms hurt.
“Tao rin naman ako,” KC states.
But she would rather think of those who love her more than those who don’t. And she is sure her defenders outnumber her detractors .
“Napalapit ako sa mga tao na na-realize kong nagmamahal sa akin. At hindi na ako masyadong nahihiya sa kanila dahil naibahagi ko ang isang bahagi ng buhay ko na dapat private,” KC relates.
She also gets her strength from fellow artists who have weathered personal storms and survived them – scarred, but with head held high.
“Fan ako ng mga artista na may pinagdaanan at kinaya nila. I look up to them. Kung kaya nila, kaya ko rin.”
Not playing safe anymore
This is why VIVA thinks KC is ready for heavier roles, those she can sink her teeth into, like the bad girl character she is playing in “Nothing Compares to You.”
“Iba rin ito para sa kin,” explains KC. “Hindi na masyadong safe. Parang di na ko bagay sa masyadong safe. Namulat na ang mga mata ko sa mga pinagdaanan ko.”
KC plays a rich girl who experiences her first rejection in life, courtesy of Derek Ramsey.
“She plays a bad girl in this romance-drama on betrayal and infidelity,” relates writer Mel del Rosario.
Thus, KC is excited. She is working with friends. KC and Anne worked together in many Kapamilya projects while Derek has been a co-host in a couple of shows.
Meanwhile, KC is slated to tour the country again on her fourth term as ambassadress for the UN World Food Program. She is also preparing for a new endorsement.
