Marian Rivera is the face that has launched a series of successful TV soaps. Her acting skills and passion for her craft have propelled her to the top, and now she will be showing a different side of her via “Marian”.
Fresh from her Media Magnet of the Year win at the Yahoo Celebrity Awards, the Kapuso Priemtime Queen sat down with Lolit Solis of Startalk.
The award-winning actress told the host extraordinaire that she has always wanted to have a dance show.
She said, “Hilig ko talaga ang pagsasayaw. Sinabi ko talaga sa GMA, ito ‘yung isa sa mga pangarap ko na gusto kong gawin at ibinigay nila sa akin.”
For the pilot episode of her show, there will be plenty of surprises, including some special guests.
“Laking pasasalamat ko dahil sabi ko sa sarili ko, suntok sa buwan kung itong pilot ko ay mangyayari, pero nangyari po na akalain niyo pong magsayaw kami ni Inay Maria together at ni Ms. Vilma Santos together. Para sa akin, isang pangarap iyan na natupad,” gushed Marian.
Marian revealed that her boyfriend, Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes will also be guesting in one of the episodes so viewers should watch out for it.
When asked if she is ready to settle down and have kids just like her showbiz friend, Richard Gutierrez, Marian said, “Siyempre po dahil po probinsyana ako, ang gusto ko po talaga ay ikasal muna bago magka-anak, pero hindi ko alam kung ibibigay sa akin ng Diyos na mauna muna ang anak bago ikasal, why not? Matagal na siyang naiinggit dahil gusto niya na talagang magka-baby.”
Lolit also asked Marian about her gap with Kapuso actress, Heart Evangelista. Does she see herself becoming friends with Heart in the future?
“Ipagdadasal ko na lang po na balang araw ay maging mas maayos ang lahat, maging masaya ako sa buhay ko at maging masaya ako para sa kanila. Pero hanggang doon na lang po. Civil lang po, okay na ako,” answered Marian.
Ever the optimist, Marian would rather focus on her many blessings in life. She invited everyone, “Mga Kapuso, sa June 21 na po ang Marian. Sana po ay suportahan niyo ako. Sinisigurado ko pong kaligayahan niyo lang ang hangad ko. After po iyan ng Vampire Ang Daddy Ko.”
