Rumor about bad attitude hounds Marian Rivera

April 21, 2008

MARIAN Rivera is much more excited playing “Dye-sebel” than “Marimar”. “It’s but to be expected as this is a much more challenging role,” she says. “I have to take special training for my role as a mermaid and it’s not that easy to swim with a fish tail on.

The consolation is that everyone who saw my scenes with the tail on say it’s the most convincing Dyesebel mermaid tail ever. Para raw totoong-totoo at hindi fake at all. Feeling ko talaga, may buntot nga ako ng isda kapag lumalangoy ako underwater.

It’s hard kasi matagal kasi sa ilalim at hindi kami agad pinaaahon in our location shoots in Coron, Palawan. But it’s really worth it. Maganda talaga lumabas on screen. And when you enjoy what you’re doing, nawawala lahat ng hirap mo.”

Does she think her tandem with Dingdong Dantes will still attract viewers after “Marimar”? “Dingdong and I talked about it with our director, Joyce Bernal, and we all agreed we have to give something new sa tao para magmukhang bagong love team uli ito. Binago ang looks namin and the flow of the story is also different. Kung realistic ang ‘Marimar’, this one is more of a fantasy love story with different beautiful locations na may underwater scenes pa.”

What can she say about the intrigues thrown her way recently? That she’s maldita on the set who makes various demands, a swellhead who snubs even her fans, and other negative allegations? “I just laugh off all the nasty chismis about me. Sabi nga nila, as you gain fame, you also gain a lot more intrigues. E, ganun siguro talaga, laging kakambal ang intriga, hindi maiiwasan. Ayoko na nga magbasa kung minsan ng mga sinusulat about me kasi nakakasira lang ng mood.

Biruin mong may chika pang pati mga yaya o maids sa condo where I live, inaaway ko raw. I hardly stay in the condo. Tulog lang tapos aalis na naman para sa trabaho. Ni wala akong time makipag-chikahan sa mga tao roon, mang-aaway pa ako. The important thing is my conscience is clear, alam kong wala akong sinasagasaan o iniisnab na ibang tao, at happy ako sa work ko. Hindi ko na lang iintindihin ang mga intriga.”

“Dyesebel” will replace “Kamandag” on GMA Telebabad.
