MAKE WAY FOR CASSY LEGASPI, the 19 year old daughter of Carmina Villaroel and Zoren Legaspi who is now going into acting and she’s very thrilled about it.
She will play Nina, the teenage daughter of Gabby Concepcion in “First Yaya”, with Sanya Lopez as her yaya and Pilar Pilapil as her lola.
She also has her own love interest as she’s paired with teen actor Joaquin Domagoso, the teenage son of Mayor Isko Moreno who’s now a Kapuso artist. Does she feel any pressure about going into acting?
“In a way, yes, because it's really my first time to act. Iba ito sa ginagawa ko sa ‘All Out Sundays’ and “Sarap Di Ba?’ Both my parents are actors so I’m sure people can’t help but wonder if I’m as good as them.
"Pinaghahandaan ko naman. I took some acting workshops and I also have two acting mentors right at home, di ba? So I feel so blessed and fortunate.
"I’m really working on my acting and I think I’m improving naman. Sa November 19 pa ang start ng taping namin, so I have enough time to prepare. In the meantime, I also work out and eat healthy kasi lock in taping kami kaya I really have to boost my immune system.
"First time ko rin mahihiwalay nang matagal from our family kaya may feeling of sepanx din, kahit papaano.”
She has gone ahead of her twin brother, Mavy, who has not tried acting in a regular soap yet.
“Yes, I’m lucky kasi I’m acting with no less than Tito Gabby Concepcion as my dad and I really look forward to doing scenes with him. “
Cassy now has her own youtube channel which she started late last month.
“It’s not easy to have your own youtube channel kasi we cannot go out to explore because of the pandemic. But it’s a nice way to connect with the fans kasi they can ask me their questions directly.
"I also try to speak a lot in Tagalog kasi we’re used to speaking in English, so my Tagalog is not that fluent. It’s a real challenge for me, but I’m getting there.
"Nawawala na yung accent ko. I just continue to practice and I know I can accomplish it.”
