On Thursday, December 23, Kapuso actress Yasmien Kurdi expressed her desire to work with the international star and Broadway Diva Lea Salonga in a project.
“Sa ngayon po, kasi ang pinaka-idol ko po talaga ay si Ms. Lea Salonga. Gustung-gusto ko po siyang makasama,” she said during her virtual media interview.
Kurdi said that Salonga’s versatility [as a performer] made her idolize the latter.
“Like kapag makakasama ko po siya nasta-starstruck po ako sa kanya, nagagandahan ako sa kanya, nagagalingan ako sa kanya, and I find her very professional. Ang galing niya. Yun lang. Idol ko siya, hahaha.
“Actually magaling si Ms. Lea umarte, magaling siyang kumanta, magaling siya sa lahat. So you know kahit saan, pati yung mga movies nila ni Aga Muhlach napapanuod ko, gustung-gusto ko siya doon,” explained Kurdi.
Kurdi, also a singer, was aiming to re-ignite her music career. She already had two albums under her name, In the Name of Love (2005) and Love is All I Need (2007).
“Ang gusto ko pong i-explore, s’yempre gusto ko pa rin pong kumanta. Kahit after how many years sana magka-single ako ulit.”
The actress also hopes of having her songs become theme songs of Kapuso shows.
“Tapos masama ulit siya sa mga shows, maging theme song uli siya ng mga palabas, pangarap ko pa rin po ‘yon.”
She also wants to do movies. Her last film was in 2009, where she provided the voice of Rukia Kuchiki in Bleach: Memories of Nobody.
“Ang last movie ko last 2009 pa. Tapos hindi na ako nagka-movie ever since.”
Kurdi said she wants to be part of a slice-of-life movie project.
“Gusto kong gumawa ng movie na makabuluhan, about mga period, p’wede ‘yon. P’wede mga historical, why not? Or p’wede yung mga timely events na talagang magsasalamin sa buhay ng tao, mga ganoon. Or mga character na magpapakita ng reality ganoon,” she hoped.
The actress renewed her ties with GMA Network on December 16.
She currently plays Dorothy in the afternoon show Las Hermanas.
