Julia Barretto says 'Mirabella' is a dream come true

Julia Barretto remarked that her Mirabella leading men, Enrique Gil and Sam Concepcion, have helped her grow as an actor. "I actually learned a lot from them acting-wise and yeah just that. And just being on set and there's so many things that I actually learn from them and it might take so long for me to answer that, everything acting-wise I've learned something from them."

She added that both have become her good friends. "They're both nice guys and they're both very easy and fun to work with and they are very patient with me despite my weirdness. I am really happy to be working with them."

According to Julia, headlining a soap is truly a dream come true for her. "I guess it's every actor's dream to have their own soap opera. I’m so blessed to be given this opportunity and I’m so thankful, I’m so happy and sana talaga maging successful 'to. I’m really praying hard."

She shared that her upcoming soap is filled with lessons about life. "People need to watch it because it's about family, love, it's accepting somebody despite how they look and it's really on their personalities. [It’s about] friendship, everything is there, so it's a soap for everybody. Hopefully a lot of people can learn from this soap because there are so many lessons to pick up and hopefully it will be a hit.” 

Julia is looking forward to a very promising year. "I’m really praying that 2014 would be a great successful year and that my career will take off and I'm just wishing for the best for 2014,” she stated.
