Anne Curtis Admits Feeling Nervous ABOUT HER acting Comeback
Sa ginanap na grand presscon ng It’s Okay To Not Be Okay noong Lunes, July 1, inamin ni Anne na nakakaramdam siya ng matinding kaba sa kanyang pagbabalik-serye, makaraan ang mahigit isang dekada.
Saad niya: "To be honest, it took me a while to say yes to this project.
"As much as I was so excited to do this, I was so nervous. Ang tagal ko nang hindi umarte.
"There was a lot of jitters — lalo na sa first day. But I was supported by amazing actors, guided by our team captain, Direk Mae [Cruz-Alviar].
"Grabe ang kaba ko. Even today, sa pagbati pa lang, kabang-kaba ako... nanginginig ako.
"But you know what, I learned from this story that it’s okay to not be okay.
"This is one of the reasons why I super loved it from the very beginning, and why I wanted to do it."
Bago ito, ang huling teleseryeng pinagbidahan ni Anne ay ang Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel, na umere mula March hanggang July 2014.

Ibinahagi rin ni Anne na labis siyang nagandahan sa orihinal na It's Okay To Not Be Okay.
Kaugnay nito, ang aktres mismo ang humiling sa kanyang manager na kung sakaling babalik siya sa paggawa ng teleserye ay gusto niyang gawin ang Philippine adaptation nito.
Nais daw kasi ng It's Showtime host maging bukas ang mga Pilipino pagdating sa usaping mental health, na tema ng It's Okay To Not Be Okay.
Pahayag ni Anne: "It’s about time we do a series that educates about mental health and how you can carry and be with someone who’s going through mental health issues.
"It’s a good way to reach a wider audience. It’s not just something you see on social media.
"This will help you go through the journey with them. So if you’re someone who’s going through it, you will be able to get help.
"Especially in our country, it’s not spoken of more."
Taong 2020 nang ipalabas sa Netflix ang orihinal na Korean series na mayroong 16 episodes.
Pinagbidahan ito ng Korean stars na sina Seo Ye Ji bilang Ko Moon Young, Kim Soo Hyun bilang si Moon Gae Tae, at Oh Jung Se bilang Moon Sang Tae.
Bukod kina Anne, Joshua, at Carlo, makakasama rin sa Pinoy version ng It's Okay Not To Be Okay sina Enchong Dee, Xyriel Manabat, Agot Isidro, Rio Locsin, Francis Magundayao, Bobot Mortiz, at Maricel Laxa.
