On January 5, Kapuso stars Elle Villanueva and Myrtle Sarrosa recounted what happened during the accidental ‘hair-cutting’ scene.
At the media conference for ‘Makiling,’ which LionhearTV covered, Sarrosa narrated how she got emotional after realizing she accidentally cut Villanueva’s hair during one of their ‘catfight’ scenes.
“So, after that scene kasi, after the scene, totoo pala ‘yung iyak ni Elle, tapos na-konsensya talaga ako. Noong nakita ko siyang umiiyak, ‘yung character ko na gumaganon talaga, bigla na rin ako umiyak.
“So may moment sa set na, ‘Oh my Gosh, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin kay Elle. Magso-sorry ba ako?’ Kinakausap ko ‘yung mga ano– gusto kong mag-sorry kay Elle, hindi ko alam kung ano ‘yung gagawin kasi that was the first time that has ever happened to me.”
She noted how Villanueva assured her that everything between them was alright.
“Tapos si Elle naman nagsasabi sa akin na, ‘Hindi, okay lang ‘yun.’ So nagkaroon kami ng dinner break, nagkalapitan kami, tapos nagyakapan, sabi niya, ‘Hindi, we’re just doing what we needed to do for the scene.'”
Villanueva admitted she felt emotional after the accidental hair-cutting scene.
“Sa akin naman po, ‘yung nangyari po ‘yun, ‘yun po ‘yung buong araw na kinunan namin na mabigat kaya siguro po sobrang heightened na po ng emotions ko, so I was surprised.
“Actually po, after ng taping na ‘yun, I was okay, not until na napakita sa akin na ganto na kaiksi ‘yung buhok ko. Nagulat ako kasi, ‘Oh My God, parang totoo na talaga,’ kasi noong sinasampal ako ni Myrtle noong time na ‘yun, parang totoo na ‘yung sigaw ko na feeling ko inaabuso na talaga ako ng mga tao. Kasi sa sobrang palagi siyang nangyayari, akala mo as an actor, parang napupunta na siya sayo. Parang masyado ng na-eembody ‘yung role sa sarili mo.”
She then disclosed her conversation with the management and their director regarding the accidental hair-cutting scene.
I made sure na kinausap ko sila, ang mga boss, sila Miss Karen, sila Miss Michelle, Miss Nicky, si Direk Rado, lahat po kami nagmeeting po kami, sinabi ko naman ‘yung mga na-experience ko and ‘yung nilalaman po ng loob ko, and I’m so happy na nakikinig po sila. Sa totoo lang po, mahirap po magsalita lalo na kapag bagong artista ka, and I really appreciate na they’re very understanding, na hindi nila iniisip na pa-Diva ako, really open ears po sila.
She confirmed how she assured and comforted Sarrosa, who felt distraught over the accident.
“And then, after po noon, sinabi po sa akin na si Myrtle umiiyak, tapos pumasok si Myrtle doon po sa tent, tapos sabi ko, ‘Oh my gosh, Myrtle, bakit ka umiiyak?’ Tapos parehas na kami umiiyak, tapos sabi ko, ‘Okay lang, wag ka mag-worry.'”
