Gloria Diaz: “They thought more of it as a comedy”
GLORIA DIAZ – The actress spoke about her daughters’ reactions to her “unique” role in Joel Lamangan’s drama-comedy movie “Lola Magdalena”.
The actress said in an interview during a special screening at Sine Pop in Cubao, Quezon City that she her the short trailer of the movie to her daughters. According to her, her daughters thought more of it as a comedy since she played the dual role as “Lola Magdalena”.
“So (I asked) what do you feel, is it nice? ‘Mom, it’s hard to describe, I don’t know how I feel (laughs),’” the actress shared.
Although they were supposed to come and watch the movie together at the screening, her daughters Ava Daza and Isabelle Daza had other prior commitments. Nonetheless, the actress would like her daughters to see her movies.
The actress also indicated that Ava and Isabelle were open to those kinds of themes, adding that her daughters even eagerly inquired about the film and its reception.
Gloria also said that using explicit language was the most challenging part of the movie for her.
According to her, she wanted to be as vulgar as she can be but she found that “a little difficult” because she’s not used to using explicit language.
“The hardest part for me was to make mura. Wala akong maisip, ‘di ba? I want to be as vulgar as I can be but I found that a little difficult kasi kung hindi ka naman sanay na sanay. Pero ngayon medyo na. Hahaha! With practice,” the actress quipped.
Aside from this, Gloria also emphasized the importance of not passing judgment on people. The actress went on to urge audiences to consider the difficult circumstances many of them face as they serve as breadwinners for their families.
Director Joel Lamangan welcomed the movie’s PG rating from the MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board) and also confirmed that the film was submitted for consideration to the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
