Joyce Bernal Compares Barbie Forteza's Acting To That Of Judy Ann Santos

JOYCE BERNAL is truly one of our busiest directors today. Her new soap, “That’s My Amboy” with Barbie Forteza and Andre Paras, started airing yesterday. Her new movie, “Everything About Her” starring Vilma Santos and Angel Locsin, opens in theaters tomorrow. How does it feel that “That’s My Amboy” is the follow up project for the Barbie-Andre love team after the highly successful “The Half Sisters”?

“Nakaka-pressure kasi sobrang lakas ng nauna nilang show,” she says. “Tapos, nasa primetime pa kami, airing after ‘Little Nanay’. But we’re confident na sa ganda ng chemistry ng AnBie love team, may laban naman kami. Maganda ang chemistry at rapport nila sa isa’t isa at endearing ang story and characters dito sa ‘That’s My Amboy’ kaya tiyak na viewers like it. Nakatrabaho ko si Barbie first time sa ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Child star pa lang siya noon as the young Rhian Ramos. Magaling na siya noon pa man. Parang Judy Ann Santos ang peg. Si Andre, ngayon ko pa lang nakatrabaho. I’ve worked with his dad, si Benjie, at magkaiba sila. May sariling personality si Andre, mas sosyal at mas hot ang dating, pang-matinee idol.”

And how does Barbie feel being compared with Judy Ann? “Nakaka-pressure, kasi alam naman ng lahat kung gaano kagaling si Ms. Judy Ann Santos,” she says. “But I’m so flattered dahil ganun pala ang tingin sa akin ng isang batikang director like Bb. Joyce. But I think sobrang layo ko naman kay Ms. Judy Ann, parang hindi makatotohanang ihanay ako sa kanya, but I promise to do my very best para ma-maintain ni Bb. Joyce ang ganung vision niya sa akin. Ha ha ha!”
