Andrea Brillantes shared that she had a hard time making friends with girls
Kapamilya actress Andrea Brillantes talked about how she dealt with the “curse” of being beautiful.
Andrea is one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation. At a young age, she is already being adored for her beautiful face. However, as an actress, Andrea did not just depend on her beauty to be in certain projects.
She proved that she could pull off different roles that boosted her career in the entertainment industry. Last year, Andrea was hailed as TC Candler’s Most Beautiful Face and she felt honored about this. Previously, she said that she was thankful for her beautiful face.
In a recent interview, based on the article in Inquirer, she recalled that during her younger years, being beautiful brought a “curse.” She revealed that she experienced bullying and had a hard time making friends with girls.
“I feel like when you’re under the curse [of being beautiful], hindi mo mare-recognize that you are. Noong nursery to grade school, hirap akong magkaroon ng friends. Hirap ako makapili ng friends. Lagi nila akong binu-bully,” the actress shared. However, Andrea stressed that she has moved on from that phase of her life.
She also shared that back then, she never felt that she was beautiful because this was not what she heard from other people. She would always hear that she was not enough and she was not able to be friends with other girls.
With this, she thought of channeling her boyish side and be friends with boys. “Gagawin kong tibo ang sarili ko and d’un ako sa mga boys, hindi ito pagiging ‘pick-me’.” the actress said.
Andrea Brillantes said that this was just one of the “curses” of being beautiful. “Merong maiinis and maiinggit sa’yo,” she said. Right now, she said that she has a better relationship with people at school. She had that challenging experience during the first years.
