BEA ALONZO’s most controversial scene in “The Mistress” shows her getting John Lloyd Cruz’ hand and asking him to touch her most private parts. Didn’t she have any reluctance to do this delicate scene? “Noong una, kinakabahan ako, pati dun sa kissing and bed scene with Tito Ronaldo Valdez,” she says at the victory party of “The Mistress”. “Pero alam ko namang kasama talaga yun sa movie at kung ganito kaganda ang project, wala kang karapatan to say no. I was expecting nga, mas grabe pang pagagawa sa’kin. Yung scene kay John Lloyd, the usual reaction after he betrayed me is magagalit ka, sasampalin mo siya dahil niloko ka, but ibang naging reaction ni Sari (the character she plays) and I’m really proud of that scene.”
What can she say now that many writers are predicting she’d win a best actress award this early? “I don’t want to expect kasi ang daming magagaling na movies and performances this year. Basta natutuwa akong maraming nagkagusto sa performance ko at naging blockbuster ang ‘The Mistress’.”
The movie earned P140 million in its first week of showing and is now extended in 200 theaters so it’s sure to earn more. Would she ever a mistress in real life? “Mahirap magsalita ng tapos as we don’t know what will happen. But siempre, I’d rather be the wife kasi mahirap ang position ng mistress, e very possessive ako.”
