Kasabay na nag-guest ni Aljur Abrenica sa Showbiz Central kahapon, January 2, ang isa sa mga leading lady niya sa Machete na si Bela Padilla.
Ayon sa host na si Pia Guanio, Bela was such a controversial personality in 2010. Ito ay dahil sa naging isyu sa kanila ng co-star niya sa Endless Love na si Marian Rivera.
Unang salang niya pa lang sa showbiz ay parang "from the frying pan into the fire" na ang nangyaring senaryo.
Paanong nakatulong ang mga ito to make her stronger sa 2011?
"I think all experiences naman that we have to go through helped build your character. And whatever I went through in 2010, it really helped me and I'm just thankful na I've moved on.
"I'm really happy now, especially with the role I got here in Machete. So, I think it really helped me a lot whatever I went through nga in 2010...it prepared me," sagot ni Bela.
FROM CAPTAIN BARBELL TO MACHETE. Balita dati na sa Captain Barbell isasali si Bela. Bakit all of sudden ay sa Machete siya inilagay?
"Yeah, I was preparing already for Captain Barbell, kasi I sort of knew what my role was already, ganyan-ganyan. And they already told me. We had readings, we had screen tests.
"But then, I was told nga na I'm gonna be in Machete.
"I got nervous pa nga kasi sabi nina Michelle [Madrigal], 'Are you gonna be in the storycon for Captain Barbell?'
"Sabi ko nga, 'Ay, hindi pa ako sinasabihan.' So, akala ko nga, ako lang ang hindi nakapasa doon sa Captain Barbell."
Ang Captain Barbell ay pagbibidahang muli ni Richard Gutierrez.
Pero aminado si Bela na happy siya na kasali siya sa Machete.
"Of course, I'm very happy. I'm just, you know, really overwhelmed right now and super happy that I'm being given such a big break," sabi ni Bela.
