Two-time Famas Best Actress winner Nadine Lustre is honored to co-star in the movie Uninvited with industry legends Vilma Santos Recto and Aga Muhlach.
In the movie, Nadine plays a spoiled daughter who according to the actress is her total opposite.
“Medyo mahirap kasi sobrang polar opposites kami ni Nicole kasi mayaman, lahat ng vices ginagawa niya and then in a way parang may hatred siya towards her dad and kung ano man ang nangyayari sa mundo niya, ako naman chill lang. I’m okay with everything pero ang similarity namin ni Nicole is pareho kaming palaban (We have things in common like fighting for what’s ours but were totally different),” Nadine said.
Nadine recalled her trending scene with Aga Muhlach who played his father in the movie. For her, it’s a great acting moment to share a scene with Aga.
“That scene is actually funny kasi every after take may mga joke si Kuya Aga kaya tawa ako nang tawa. Paglabas ko sa scene I don’t know kung if it’s gonna be in the movie — pero iba na maka eksena ko si Kuya Aga ‘di naman siya awkward pero natuwa ako na naitawid namin ang eksena ng ganoon (The scene was funny because Aga was telling jokes all the time. I was laughing and laughing. It was not an akward scene and we were able to pull it through),” Nadine added.
The actress added that Aga transforms in every scene for his character which is very far from the actors personality in real life.
