Paulo Avelino rallied behind Kim Chiu’s career move
Kapamilya actor Paulo Avelino defended the decision of his onscreen partner Kim Chiu to do a mature role in the series The Alibi.
Kim started in the entertainment industry when she was just a teenager. She was known for her “tweetums” roles and for having wholesome projects.
Her career skyrocketed along with her loveteam partners, Gerald Anderson and Xian Lim, who became her boyfriends in the past. In recent years, Kim has shown more versatility when it comes to the projects she has done.
The Cebuana actress surprised her fans with her mature role in the series Linlang, in which she was first paired with Paulo Avelino. With their undeniable onscreen chemistry, their home network continued providing projects for them.
In their upcoming Prime Video series, Kim Chiu showed some skin, which could be a surprising thing for her longtime fans. In an interview, the actress had already explained her decision to do this kind of project. Paulo also defended Kim’s decision, based on the article in Newsko.
This is Kim’s first time being sexy on a project, so many fans were surprised by Kim’s new attack. He said that sometimes it is necessary to do scenes like this to give more life to the character in the story.
“I don’t think it’s about skin, it comes from the maturity of the role and what the role requires. Minsan talaga may mga character ang mga istorya na gustong ikuwento,” the actor explained.
Paulo further added that they give dedication as artists to uphold the character they are playing. He also pointed out that it would be difficult for the audience to visualize or think about a certain scene if the actors did not show it.
Paulo stressed that this also comes from the maturity of the actress. The actor pointed out that this was more character-driven, and as actors, they were very loyal and dedicated to what they could provide for their characters.
