On August 5, new Viva artist Chloe Jenna recalled receiving offers to enter showbiz when she was in college.
At the virtual meeting for Lampas Langit, which had select members of the entertainment press, including LionhearTV, Jenna said her parents wanted her to finish her studies before entering showbiz.
“For me ‘yung temptation na naisip ko, noong during college po. Noong nagkakaroon na po ako ng offers na pumasok sa movies, ganyan, sa showbiz. Pero, bawal po talaga kasi ayaw po ng parents ko hangga’t wala daw po akong diploma.”
Admittedly, she felt frustrated with her situation at the time, but she felt thankful for her parent’s guidance regarding her career.
“So talagang, nakaka-frustrate siya, I know nga parang I remembered na may mga projects na parang what if ito na ‘yun. Ito na ‘yun tapos hindi ko siya tatanggapin.
“Pero, I’m glad na nakinig ako sa parents ko kasi worth it naman yung pang hihintay pa rin. And happy ako kasi ‘yun lang naman ‘yung hinihiling nila sa akin na matapos ko ‘yung education.”
As for daring roles, Jenna stated that she’s ready to take on whatever role Viva has in store for her.
“Sa akin po, handang handa na ako. Wala na po akong any hindrance na ngayon na po na binigyan na ako ng chance ng Viva, I can say naman po na prepared na po ako na gumawa ng any roles. Lalo na po na course ko din sa U.P., at pinag-aralan ko ‘yan ng four years.
“So excited na lang po ako sa mga opportunities na darating sa akin. And ready po ako mag-take ng any challenge sa any films na ibibigay po sa akin ng Viva.”
Jenna appears in the Vivamax movie Lampas Langit. The romance thriller also stars Christine Bermas, Ricky Davao, Baron Geisler, and Milana Ikimoto.
Lampas Langit, directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo, premieres on Vivamax on August 19.
