Kris upgrades image
JUST A THOUGHT: “Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.” – Gail Godwin, “The Odd Woman”
CHANGING HER IMAGE:
Known for her sweet and demure personality off cam, Kris Bernal said she can’t go on, unfortunately, playing innocent characters in her TV and movie projects.
She has to move on.
Part of that process is her slow transformation to playing mature, adult roles. On her new series “Impostora”, Kris is portrayed as a sexy, alluring woman who figures in kissing scenes with Rafael Rosell, who plays her husband.
They also engage in a number of hot bed scenes.
Kris said she had a difficult time kissing Rafael.
‘I couldn’t look at him straight in the eye. Kasi sobrang guapo n’ya,’’ she laughed.
Ever the gentleman, Rafael refused to answer queries about his intimate scenes with Kris. He said they played out for the camera what couples would do in real life.
He said Kris is among the most professional actresses he has worked with.
DOUBLY HARD, YES:
