KRIS AQUINO
MISMONG ang author na ng Hollywood movie na “Crazy Rich Asians” na si Kevin Kwan ang nagsabi na isa sa mga highlight ng pelikula ang mga eksena ni Kris Aquino.
Sa interview kay Kwan ni Curtis Chin ng Milken Institute sinabi nito na isa ang karakter ni Kris sa maaaring tumatak sa mga manonood. “She’s definitely in the movie. She’s a highlight of the movie, for me,” pahayag ni Kwan.
Bukod dito, inilarawan ng host si Kris bilang isang “super celeb interviewer” at “media star.” Sinabi pa nito na posibleng mag-viral sa Pilipinas ang mga sinabi ni Kwan tungkol sa Social Media Queen.
Tugon ni Kwan, “I hope so. She doesn’t need my help, though. Everything she does gets viral.”
Sa kanyang Instagram account, nagpasalamat naman si Kris kay Kevin Kwan sa mga positibong sinabi nito tungkol sa kanya. Gagampanan niya ang karakter ni Princess Intan sa “Crazy Rich Asians,”
Narito ang caption ni Kris sa ipinost niyang video na naglalaman ng interview kay Kwan, “My nephew @jiggycruz sent me the whole interview. #family My KCAP team led by @paanipedro edited the meaningful moment for me…
“I was grateful to watch & hear all the generous words to describe me Mr. Curtis Chin used BUT to actually view @kevinkwanbooks answer in reference to me ‘she’s a highlight of the movie, for me, she’s a highlight…’ what more could a girl who only dreamed of this say but- THANK YOU Kevin, for the affirmation, but more importantly for appreciating that we Filipinos are @crazyrichasians #superfans…
“I know my part would never have been ‘tweaked’ had it not been because Kevin wanted to reciprocate the #lovelovelove we Filipinos have from book 1 consistently supported him with.
“The clips we included are from the audition we submitted to the @crazyrichasians casting directors & producers; after the Philippine theatrical release on August 22- we’ll hopefully be able to upload most of it on my official FB page & my @youtube The Aquinos channel.)
“The 1st few steps of this journey wouldn’t have begun had it not been for @jhett_tolentino & @agentchrislee connecting w/ me through many mutual friends namely @missizacalzado, Manang Nene Chan, and Cong @lenalonte.
“(Now you can understand why i managed to exercise restraint & nag #carebears kung may ilan na gustong i-downplay & maliitin yung pagkasali ko sa @crazyrichasians, because i chose to believe in the wisdom of the saying: Work hard in SILENCE, let SUCCESS make the noise…
“I’m very blessed because i never had to utter a word- the writer & creator of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy already said it all for me. He truly is another of my very special guardian angels.”
