On March 30, Viva artist Tiffany Grey insisted she did not want to get special treatment after her Best Supporting Actress nomination in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2022.
At the media conference for Paupahan, which LionhearTV covered, Grey noted that her co-stars treated her the same way before getting the Best Supporting Actress nod for her role in My Father Myself.
“Sa ngayon po hindi po, kung ano po ‘yung treatment nila sa akin dati, ganon pa din po. Kasi hindi naman porket na na-nominate ako ng best supporting actress, iibahin na po nila ‘yung treatment nila sa akin. Sa akin din po kasi ayaw ko po ‘yung special treatment din po eh. Parang mas gusto ko din po na kung ano ‘yung ginagawa nila sa akin dati, ‘yun din po ngayon.”
As for her craft as an actress, Grey noted that she wanted to prove her improvement as an actress through her role in Paupahan.
“So ‘yung acting ko naman, siguro mapapatunayan ko dito sa movie na ‘to na mas nag-improve ako.”
Grey also addressed the feeling of pressure with her portrayal after getting nominated in MMFF 2022.
“Ito nga pong nabasa ko nga po ‘yung script nitong movie na ‘to, sobrang ano din po, ‘yung pressure din po siyempre hindi ko din maiiwasan kasi ang iniisip ng tao, ay Tiffany Grey ganyan na-nominate ‘yan, ganito ganyan. Noong nag-script reading na rin po kami, paulit-ulit ko rin po siyang binababasa as in, nag-study ako kung ano ‘yung character ko dito. Pinag-aaralan ko talaga siya para makuha ko talaga. Kapag nasa-shoot na in character na po talaga ako.”
As for her upcoming project, Grey stars in the Vivamax film Paupahan with Jiad Arroyo and Robb Guinto.
Under the direction of the award-winning filmmaker Louie Ignacio, Paupahan streams via Vivamax on April 8.
