Marian Rivera on her role in ‘My Guardian Alien’: ‘Mas mahirap pala na walang lines’

Marian Rivera admitted that it was not easy playing her alien role in her upcoming series, “My Guardian Alien.”

In Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras,” Thursday, the Kapuso Primetime Queen said that it was difficult to not have lines for a character.

“Sabi ko nga kay Direk mas mahirap pala na walang lines kesa sa nagsasalita kasi ang hirap talaga hindi ka maka-react na may nangyayari kailangan hindi ka muna mag-react, puro kamay, puro ulo,” Marian said.

“Parang puro gano’n nung una pero siyempre habang nagtatagal, nagkakaroon na siya ng pakiramdam, nalalaman n’ya na kung ano ibig sabihin ng tao, so unti-unti nagkakaroon siya ng mga reactions,” she said.

“My Guardian Alien” is one of Marian’s comeback projects after her acting hiatus. It is her first time playing an alien, and she said that she is excited for the role.

Marian will star opposite Gabby Concepcion. They started taping for the series in August last year.

The project is directed by award-winning director Zig Dulay.

Marian also previously headlined the Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Rewind” with Dingdong Dantes, which has become the highest grossing Filipino film of all time.
