Now 18, doll-like Rhian Ramos is willing to take bigger responsibilities and is facing controversies head on. "Being on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine is a great way to show and tell people, ‘Hey, I'm a young adult now. Treat me like one,'" says Rhian.
Rhian isn't your typical showbiz darling with the maamo face. Neither does she have the rags-to-riches story common among many of our celebrities. What Rhian does have are oozing charm and sex appeal—and she knows it. This confidence and Rhian's assumed all-too-lucky breaks did not sit well with some of her critics.
"A lot of people would think na mas madali para sa 'kin [yung showbiz], because of my aunt [Ida Henares, GMA Artist Center's AVP and head honcho], but its actually harder," Rhian shares with Cosmo. But despite all the negativity thrown at her, Rhian Ramos remains persistent. Her determination to rise above the bad rap proves even more that she does have what it takes to be where she is.
This year, all her hard work and battles against controversy paid off as she stars in La Lola, GMA-7's latest primetime telenovela offering, with JC De Vera. "I think it's the biggest role I've been given so far," gushes Rhian, "It was like a sige na, I am finally given the chance. Despite all the intrigues, GMA believed in me."
Rhian has no problems answering more intimate questions about herself. A self-confessed virgin, Rhian gives her take on premarital sex, onscreen kisses and her biggest turn-ons in the October issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, now available in newsstands, bookstores and supermarkets nationwide.
