THOSE WHO HAVE seen Julia Clarete’s performance in Jeffrey Jeturian’s Cinemalaya entry, “Bisperas”, are raving about it and say she has a good chance of winning the Cinemalaya best actress award. She plays the second daughter of Tirso Cruz III and Raquel Villavicencio who are having problems with her parents and siblings Jennifer Sevilla and Edgar Allan Guzman. She is said to shine in all the film’s dramatic confrontation scenes. Julia is also nominated as best supporting actress for her role as the rape victim in “Emir” and we’re glad she’s finally getting meaty acting roles to show she’s not just good in hosting “Eat Bulaga”.
Julia is rumoured to be the girlfriend of former actor but we heard they’ve broken up. Is it because Illac was embroiled in a messy brouhaha with Angelica Jones who claimed Illac also wooed her? “No, we’ve split a long time ago,” Julia says. “But hindi si Angelica ang dahilan kasi I decided to break up with him bago pa yang issue nila. Whatever the reason is, sa amin na lang yun.”
