Dina Bonnevie almost had the chance to be Mel Gibson’s leading lady

Award-winning actress Dina Bonnevie revealed that she turned down the offer to do a movie with Hollywood actor Mel Gibson.

Dina’s acting caliber has become an inspiration to the younger generations of artists in the Philippine entertainment industry. She has proven her versatility with her different roles and this is one of the reasons behind her longevity in showbiz.

In a recent interview on Fast Talk, based on the article in Balita, Dina revealed that there was a time when she was offered to be an international star.

The seasoned actress revealed that she was offered to do a movie with Mel Gibson who is known for his iconic movies like Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, On The Line, and many more.

“I was offered to live in Australia and to be an actress there and eventually to be in Hollywood. HBO. I was offered. Dapat sana Hollywood actress ako and slaying Met Gala,” Dina Bonnevie shared.

She also revealed the reason why she did not choose that career path. Dina said that she prioritized her children over the Hollywood career that she might had back then.

“I didn’t become that because I chose my kid. Kasi at that time na nagpaalam ako kay Vic sabi ko, kukunin ko ang mga bata. Pupunta kaming Australia and I’m gonna live there. [But] Vic said, if you do that you will never see your kids again,” the actress said.

With that decision, Dina just focused on her acting career in the Philippines, doing movies and TV series. Aside from this, the actress also ventured into business.

She said that she established a business and she was able to find success in this because her inspiration is her children. “I wanted my kids to have a good life,” the seasoned actress said.
