Coleen said that unlike her fun-loving persona on It’s Showtime, she enjoys playing more diverse and serious roles when she is acting. “I want it to be like that. I want that in every project I want to be able to say that you’re going to see a different Coleen. I want to be able to say that with every project that I do and my character in Pasion de Amor is very, very different from my character in Ex With Benefits so it’s going to be the most challenging part since I’m going to be juggling both at the same time. I have to be in character every time I’m on set so I guess that’s going to be the most challenging part about it,” she explained.
The mestiza beauty said that even if she will be acting with more mature actors in her projects, she can still relate to teen stars like Julia Barretto. “I’m 22 and I remember when I was in Julia’s position, yung mga bago ngayon na mga teenagers, I remember when I was a teenager and it really feels like it wasn’t so long ago,” she admitted.
If given the right project, Coleen said she would even be willing to act with Billy as well. “I’m very open to it naman. Siyempre exciting din naman yun if ever that happens. We’re very good. He dropped me off here kanina. We’re going strong and every day we learn more and more about each other,” she added.
With showbiz couples getting hitched left and right, Coleen said she is not bothered by all the proposal hype. “Hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Siguro diyan hindi ako makikiuso (laughs). Sila na lang muna. All in its own time. I’m only just starting with where I am right now so all on its own time. I look forward to the day when I settle down and I have a family but definitely it can wait, years and years and years from now pa,” she said.
