Andrea Brillantes not yet ready for sexy, matured roles

MANILA, Philippines — After turning 18 last March 12, Kapamilya actress Andrea Brillantes revealed that she’s not yet ready for sexy or matured roles. 

During the recent virtual media conference of her new teleserye “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” Andrea said her sexy photoshoot for her birthday was just a surprise for her fans to let them know that she’s already 18 years old. 

“Hindi pa ako ready sa matured roles. 'Yung photoshoot na nakita niyo, kasi nga wala akong debut at celebration, nag-isip lang ako ng, kaisip viewers po ako nila Ate Kath (Bernardo), ate Julia (Barretto), pinapanood ko po 'yung mga debut nila, and since wala tayong gano'n, nag-isip lang ako ng pasabog para maalala ng mga tao na na mag-18 na ko,” she said.  

“Bilang babae, napakahalaga ng pagiging 18 ng isang babae. So nag-isip na lang ako, sabi ko babawi na lang ako sa photoshoots. Since naga-aral ako ng astrology, nag-research po ako tungkol sa Pisces season,” she added.

Though she’s not yet ready for matured roles, Andrea promised her fans that she will level up in her acting. 

“'Di pa ako ready sa matured, sexy roles. Siguro po level up kasi kilala ko ng mga tao as a sweet girl. Mas matapang na siguro, mas woman na,” she said. 

In “Huwag Kang Mangamba,” Andrea plays Mira, a blind orphan whose faith and trust in Bro (God) gives her a positive outlook in life. Despite her situation, Mira travels to the town of Hermoso to search for her mother.
