KRYSTAL MEJES – The Kapamilya young actress shared her desire to work again with Kapamilya star Julia Montes, who previously portrayed her mother in Kapamilya afternoon drama series “Doble Kara”.
She said this when she was exclusively interviewed by PUSH ABS-CBN during the anniversary event of a beauty clinic recently. According to her, she worked with Julia before and she’ll pray to work with her again soon.
“Si Ate Julia Montes, I worked with her before sa Doble Kara. Maybe one day… I will pray to work with her again,” she said in an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN. “She’s actually the best. The best talaga.”
To recall, Krystal first gained recognition in Kapamilya series “Doble Kara” with Julia Montes. She then later starred in “Nang Ngumiti ang Langit” alongside RK Bagatsing and Sophia Reola. Krystal won Best Actress in 2023 at the Paris Film Awards for her role in the short film “Matapang”.
The actress said in an interview that she’s “very open” to diverse roles and she’s also excited about taking on new challenges. She added that she grew up watching action, romcoms, and heavy dramas.
“Ako naman po, I am very very open sa kung ano man ang ibigay sa akin ng management, ng ABS-CBN,” Krystal said. “As long as alam kong ma-eenjoy ko ‘yung work and alam kong magagawa ko ‘yung best ko, definitely 100% I’ll say yes. Ako po kasi I grew up watching romcoms, action, and heavy drama, so maybe sa ganoong side.”
Netizens once dubbed her as “the little Julia Montes” because of their emotional acting styles and physical resemblance. According to the actress, she was honored by the comparison and expressed her gratitude to those who said about being compared to Julia.
Krystal also opened up about her experiences working on “Lavender Fields”. She admitted that she’s feeling both grateful and nervous as she worked alongside a cast filled with seasoned actors in the series.
The actress also said in an interview that she remained thankful to have the opportunity to work with those seasoned actors, as she acknowledged that what she has learned from them is priceless. She even expressed her gratitude for having fellow teen stars on set who made the experience more enjoyable.
Krystal also admitted in an interview that she felt intimidated working with veteran stars such as Diamond Star Maricel Soriano.
“Siguro super na-intimidate po ako kay Miss Maricel Soriano, talaga super,” she said. “Kasi napapanood ko lang siya before, tapos parang nasa harap ko na siya. Hindi ko naman siya naka-eksena but you know, to be in one room as her, it’s really nakakakaba.”
The actress added that despite the pressure, she remains optimistic and inspired by the journey ahead.
