Jillian Ward talked about her dual role in her upcoming series
Kapuso Star of New Gen Jillian Ward admitted that she was challenged playing the dual role in the new series My Ilonggo Girl.
Jillian started her career in the entertainment industry at a young age. She was adored as a child star with her pretty face and admirable ability to deliver a dramatic scene.
Fortunately, Jillian was able to have a smooth transition from being a child star into a young dramatic actress. Her newest project will feature her as Venice and Tata.
Jillian Ward shared in a recent interview, based on the article in GMA Entertainment, that it was a big challenge for her to portray the dual role.
“Siyempre po naging challenging siya for me lalo na po kailangan mabilis magpalit during takes. Like ika-cut po nila, ‘tapos sasabihin, ‘Palit na agad. Palit ka na ng damit’. ‘Tapos change na po sa next character, so ganun po,” she said.
The young actress also said that it was not a joke to shift from one character to the other. She specifically mentioned that it was challenging during the last taping. It was because her other character had a “maldita” personality while the other was angry.
Jillian said that in real life, she does not know how to get angry. When she gets angry, she would cry and be silent. “Challenging sa akin na kailangan, biglang suplada. ‘Tapos ‘yung isa kong role super bubbly naman,” the actress shared.
In My Ilonggo Girl, Jillian Ward is paired with Sparkl;e artist Michael Sager as her leading man. They are joined by seasoned actresses Teresa Loyzaga and Arlene Muhlach who praised the younger stars.
Also included in the series are Arra San Agustin, Yasser Marta, Matt Lozano, Empoy Marquez, Geo Mhanna, Vince Maristela, Lianne Valentin, Patricia Ismael, Yesh Burce, Sabreenika Santos, and veteran actress Ms. Carla Martinez.
