Maria Ozawa Admits Her Past Profession Led Her to Doubt Love
MARIA OZAWA – Japanese star and “Pulang Araw” actress Maria Ozawa admitted that her previous career led her to doubt love.
Actress Maria Ozawa admitted on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that there was a time when she didn’t believe in love because of the nature of her previous work. Maria first became known as a sexy star in adult films before she continued her career as a businesswoman and transitioned into acting.
During Boy Abunda’s interview with Maria, he asked her, “Was there a time in your life when you doubted love because of the nature of your job that you thought men were just after your body?”
“Yes. Of course. Especially, when I was in the AV business,” Maria responded.
She shared, “It was like really obvious that people were…they just liked me for what I am, not like, who I really am.”
She added, “Usually, they would just say that I would never be able to be in a real relationship, or you won’t be able to trust people because you’re in the industry. Who would, like, really, you know, think about you in a serious way and all that.”
Maria also admitted that she sometimes finds it difficult to understand men. However, she remains clear about what she looks for in a man.
She said, “Who understands when women are like or when I really concentrate on, like working, [because] business is very important, and people who are not too conservative. Especially in Japan, they still have, well, it’s our culture, so I don’t want to say anything against it.
“But you know, women are supposed to be housewives, they should stay home. And those kinds of mindsets are okay because that’s their culture. I don’t mind at all. But for me, I want somebody who’ll be supportive of me, and independent.”
Despite everything, Maria still believes in love. “Well, love is when you can sacrifice yourself for that person,” she said.
Maria also revealed that she is “in love” again and is even thinking about marriage.
“Are you thinking about marriage?” Boy asked Maria.
She replied, “I hope so, yes. That would be really nice.”
Meanwhile, Maria can currently be seen in the hit GMA series “Pulang Araw” where she plays Haruka Tanaka, a Japanese immigrant in the Philippines and the mother of Hiroshi, portrayed by David Licauco.
