Thea Tolentino, Liezel Lopez and Lianne Valentin find playing villain roles fun. But dealing with fans who can’t seem to distinguish real from “reel”—not so much. | via Allan Policarpio/PDI
For her part, Liezel Lopez, who played a greedy and wicked daughter in “Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat,” can’t help but respond to bashers once in a while. “People would tell me on social media, ‘O, sino na naman ang aagawin mo? Humanda ka kapag nakita kita…. Sama ng ugali mo.’ Some would wish death on me,” she told the Inquirer.
“One day, I was out having a meal, and then suddenly, someone pinched me and said that she finds me infuriating. I couldn’t do anything, so I just said, ‘Thank you.’ But in my head, I was like, ‘Did you really have to do that?’” she told the Inquirer. “I didn’t receive death threats, thankfully. Maybe it’s because at the height of me playing a villain—“The Half Sisters’ days —people weren’t into social media the way they are now. But I do hope people can be more discerning.
Asked what they think made producers think they are suited to contravida roles, the three young actresses agreed that the top reason must be their looks. “It’s my eyes! Some people think I’m giving them a side eye even when I’m not!” Liezel said, laughing. “And I think it’s also because I have this sexy image.”“Looks, definitely!” Thea said. “People would judge you or assume you’re masungit even if they haven’t talked to you.
Thea recently got a taste of what it’s like on the other side of the fence: In “Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters” she plays a meek and kindhearted protagonist. “It’s more challenging to act kind than to shout or show anger. I’m not really choosy with the shows that I do. I take every project as a challenge. I’m used to giving intimidating looks, so here, I had to soften things up. And it’s good because I get to diversify my range,” she said.
