Social media star and former Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10 celebrity housemate Daisy “Madam Inutz” Lopez, on Wednesday, May 4, doubted that she could portray herself in the upcoming Mother’s Day special of Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK).
Her life story will be featured in a two-part episode of the Kapamilya longest-running drama anthology series.
In the virtual media conference of the show, she shared that she was first offered to partake in the episodes personally. However, as a comedian herself, dramatic characters were not her “strongest suit.”
“Yes, tinanong ako kung kaya ko. Pero kasi yung ano ko sa buhay, comedian ako eh. Kumbaga parang hindi ko—tapos siyempre hindi naman ako artista. So parang natatakot ako na baka hindi ko magampanan yung mismong ako.”
Lopez knew that her life story was full of drama, which led her to believe that she would not be able to act properly.
“Kaya sabi kong gano’n, noong nag-try naman kami, sabi ko, p’wede rin. Kasi una, dapat ako talaga. Pero sabi ko, parang ang hirap! Tsaka baka mamaya puro iyak lang ang mangyari sa akin. Kasi nga sa script pa lang nahihirapan na ako.”
Moreso, the comedian, was not confident in her acting skills. She then decided it was better to have someone who is an actress.
Dawn Chang will be playing Madam Inutz in MMK.
“Tapos siyempre yung point nga na hindi ka naman talaga artista. Doon ako nahirapan, doon ako parang sinabi ko kung makakakuha po kayo ng tao gaganap para sa akin, siguro mas maganda kung kumuha na lang. Kasi mahihirapan talaga ako. Comedian ako eh. Yung buhay ko sobrang madaming drama eh pero mas lamang—mas pinipili ko ang maging masaya,” she added.
Lopez is part of the sitcom My Papa Pi as the gossip monger Madam Bebe. Still, it was a struggle for her to do her role.
“Sa My Papa Pi nga lang medyo nahirapan ako ‘di ba? Yun pa comedy pa tapos comedian pa ako,” said the comedian. “Eh itong MMK talagang buhay ko na ‘to eh. Kumbaga talagang mahihirapan ako. Kasi mahirap umiyak. So parang hindi ko kaya.”
Chang then “thanked” Lopez for refusing the role.
“Maraming salamat! Tanggi ka lang ng tanggi ha? Charot!” she jest.
Catch the life story of social media star Madam Inutz on MMK this coming Saturday at 8:45 p.m.
