Andrea del Rosario, game na game pa rin

DYARYO TIRADA

Bagama't aminado na nasa 40s na ang aktres at dating Viva Hot Babes member na si Andrea del Rosario, hindi pa rin nawawala ang galing nito sa kanyang mga pelikula, gaya ng bagong offering ngayon ng Viva Films na "May-December-January".

"I mean, let's face it, I'm 44. My days as a Viva Hot Babe doing lead roles like in 'Lupe' are over. I've accepted that I now do character roles. I did 'Love You Stranger' on GMA and now I'm in 'Dirty Linen' on ABS-CBN. I never thought darating uli sa akin ang ganitong lead role. When Boss Vic del Rosario called me and told me I'd do this film, siyempre, yes agad ako. I mean, the script is written by Ricky Lee, a National Artist no less, saan ka pa, di ba?" saad ni Andrea.

In fairness naman sa aktres, kahit na nanay na siya napanatili pa rin niya ang kanyang ganda at kaseksihan kaya hindi imposible na mabigyan pa siya ng lead roles after ng "May-December-January".

Ayon sa direktor ng pelikula na si Mac Alejandre, si Andrea raw talaga ang kanilang first and only choice.

"She perfectly fits the role of Claire as one hot mama na kahit may anak ng grown-up, may appeal and desirable pa rin sa mga bata. She's mother to Gold Aceron and falls in love with his best friend, Kych Minemoto, but she later finds out that Gold, who's gay, is also in love with Kych. The mother is the fulcrum of the film and Andrea, all throughout the shoot, she's always in character. Kahit mahahaba ang eksena, including the love scenes, she never complained. Sa bagay silang tatlo nina Gold and Kych, kahit mahihirap ang scenes, wala kang maririnig sa kanila," sabi ni Direk Mac.
Samantala, bilib na bilin din si Andrea sa galing nina Gold at Kych sa movie.

"I feel so lucky na sila ang nakasama ko kasi they're like old souls, pareho silang dalawa. Magagalang sila, very professional, at parehong magaling. They'll both go a long way in their careers. I'm also lucky to have worked with the tandem of Sir Ricky and Direk Mac," sabi ni Andrea.
