Hailed as a certified Box Office Queen for her mistress role in No Other Woman last year, Anne takes on the challenge of being a good girl this time around. “It took a lot of adjusting on my part. Binabantayan ni Direk Nuel Naval yung little nuances ko—a slight raise of my eyebrows talagang, ‘Oops, hindi mo character ‘yan.’ Mahirap siya pero I enjoy taking on the challenge of portraying a good girl.”
Aside from her steamy love scenes with Derek Ramsay, Anne is also proud of her confrontation scenes with Andi Eigenmann. “Pinakagrabeng love scene namin ni Derek yung sa sauna. Kasi yung sa kanila ni Andi hot and steamy, sa amin talaga lovemaking. Tsaka abangan ninyo yung pasabog na eksena namin ni Andi. Maloloka kayo. Iba kasi ito e. Sa No Other Woman nagustuhan yung batuhan ng lines na matindi talaga. Eto kasi isang linya pero iba rin yung impact. Parang, ‘Awww! Ano daw?’”
Anne is also vocal about Andi being a revelation in this movie. “She’s a gem. She will shine in this movie. I am so happy na ginawa niya. Mahusay siyang artista. Magle-level up siya dito. Ang ganda niya, ang galing niya umarte. In this movie she will become a woman.”
The pretty actress-host further shared that she doesn’t mind if Andi becomes the major scene-stealer in A Secret Affair. “Oo naman. I am very open. Kaya nga I told Andi, ‘Girl, you will shine in this movie’. Nagaalangan siya kasi nung una e. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ‘Girl believe me, the bad girl is always the better role to portray.’ Sabi niya, ‘Really?’ So nung pinapanood ko yung rushes, kaya naman niya e. Hindi naman paghuhubad e. Hindi siya naghubad dito. Pero yung pamaldi-maldi… When you see the movie, it’s different.”
