Gretchen Barretto refuses to answer "wild rumor" about daughter Dominique; says Princess And I is "worthy replacement" for Alta

“I don’t want to talk about my family life because I am at this point in my career wherein I feel I am a mature actor already. So, I’d like to keep, you know, my private life private, whatever it is," says Gretchen Barretto.

Pero hindi na nga ito direktang naitanong kay Gretchen para linawin sana ang naturang tsismis. Hindi na rin nagpumilit pa ang press bilang respeto na lang sa pakiusap ng aktres.

THE ROLE OF A QUEEN. Sa halip na intriga ay mas gusto ngang pag-usapan ni Gretchen ang Princess and I, na mapapanood na sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida simula sa Abril 16.

Isa sa ikinatuwa niya sa project na ito ay dumayo pa sila sa bansang Bhutan para mag-taping ng ilang mahahalagang eksena sa loob ng dalawang linggo.

Ang Bhutan ay isang landlocked state sa South Asia at matatagpuan ito malapit sa mga bansang India, China, Nepal, at Bangladesh.

Ginagampanan ni Gretchen sa serye ang role ni Ashi Behati, na isang reyna at first time niya raw gumanap sa ganitong role.

Sa ipinapakitang trailer ng teleserye ay tila kontrabida ang role ni Gretchen. Pero paglilinaw niya, may dahilan kaya ganito ang karakter ni Ashi Behati.

“Actually, mabait siya. May back story, merong rason kung bakit si Ashi Behati ay maraming galit sa puso.

“So, maiintindihan n’yo’ yan as the series goes on.

“Kami ang magiging magkalaban ni Albert [Martinez as King Anand] because gusto kong agawin ang kaharian mula sa kanya.”

Ano ang challenge ng pagganap bilang reyna?

“Well, to be a queen is a challenge because I’m not a queen in real life and the culture in Bhutan is different. So, I have to learn the ways of a queen.

“The other challenge is learning to speak Dzongkha [the official language of Bhutan], which I never heard before.

“It’s not like Chinese, Spanish or French, naririnig natin ‘yan, di ba? Pero ang Dzongkha, hindi. That is a great challenge.

“And as a queen, the challenge of being a kontrabida or a nasty person is not like… ‘pag queen ka, hindi ka masigaw. Everything is just firm.

“So, it’s subdued acting which is not very easy.”

    No. 63 You're right Dominic could be 17-19 years old. In the Philippines, early marriage and early pregnancies are common. In Dominique's case, what is important she did not have an abortion, which can easily be done considering their financial status. Besides as long as Dominique has full support of her parents, she has nothing to worry. How many cases of our celebrities had an abortion because they can't face the responsibilities, what more the fear that will affect their profession?

    Sus, no big deal naman kung preggy si Dominique..it's not like she can't afford to raise a child...yaman ng pamilya niya, she doesn't even have to work.

    What's wrong if Dominique gets pregnant. She's not that young anymore. Saw her with her Mom Gretchen in one of the hotel here in New York, years ago. I think Dominique was taking a short course in NYU. What is important if it is true the baby was not aborted. What more, she can afford to raise a baby comfortably.

    I agree with some pepsters, mukhang ang laki ng galit ni Ms. HB sa ABS-CBN, baka nasisante siya sa ABS-CBN. In fairness, maayos siyang magsulat, ibig sabihin isa siyang reporter?

    43 missopionated100 04/13/2012 | 12:05 PM remember sa GMA naman ganun din ah, sa Legacy di ba nawawalang anak din si Heart, at sa MB meron din palang nawawala..... yung nanay naman, so on and so forth. pre preho lang yan, with matching kidnapan pa nga eh. heehheheh, kanya kanyang trip yan. so kung mang pupuna kayo be consistent pati yung sa GMA punahin nyo na din, ok. Just my opinion ------------------Kapag napuna yung teleserye ng DOS pare pareho lang iyan ang ang isasagot, ganon? At yon na nga, pare pareho lang mga iyan pero kamalakihan na ng mga pantards ng DOS na WORLD CLASS yung mga teleserye na pinalalabas sa DOS hmmm. Nagwo workshop daw pero anong sabi ng mga ayaw kay Julia na fellows nyo..."parang TUOD kung umarte."

    another RETOKADA, very obvious. bakit ba tong lintek na mga artista to eh hindi makuntento sa mga pagmumukha nila. magaganda nmn cla. to c gretchen gustong makipagsabayan sa mga bata kaya ayan retoke keni retoke karin ang drama which of course hindi nya aaminin. Pati yung anak nyang menor de edad pa eh nabuntis na and as usual divert ang topic sa iba.

Tapos minsan SAGGY na ang balat na parang lantay na PATOLA. Hmmm salamat na lang kay BELO at nandiyan siya...at salamat lalo sa pera ng kanyang kebitski may pampaganda siya...kailangang kailangan nya iyan lalo na ngayong may tsismak na magiging LOA na siya ahihihihi
