At the advanced screening of ‘D Aswang Slayerz’ on February 11, Tiktok star Magdalena Fox said she considers ‘D Aswang Slayerz’ her break into the showbiz industry.
Fox cited how she benefited from her first project as she began acting.
Admittedly, she didn’t dream of getting into acting but felt happy getting praise for her breakout performance.
“Ang pinangarap ko lang talaga noon, mag Tiktok lang…siyempre sabik ako sa Hi, Hi, ganyan, ayaw kong maging ano– masaya kung pinupuri ka. Siyempre 45 na ako, bago ako kunin ni Lord, kailangan purihin naman ako ng ibang tao.”
Fox then discussed the differences between creating a Tiktok video and filming his first movie.
“Ang Tiktok kasi, ako lang ang masusunod, gustong-gusto ko nga ‘yung di maaraw, katulad nga noong scene ni Sir Mel. Sa pagkainit-init nga, naka-Maxipeel ako, nasusunog ‘yung face ko. Pero, pagdating ko doon si Sir Mel pawis na, aarte pa ba ako?
“Mahirap pero kapag makikita mong, ‘Ay masarap rin pala maging artista.'”
She then talked about her brand appeal to Filipino netizens. Fox expressed, “Siyempre nakatira ako sa squatters, so siyempre para sa squatters, so ginawa ko dapat pang masa, makatotohanan. Nakaka-relate ‘yung iba, kasi dati po noong ginawa ko, pacute-cute, ang dami ng gwapo, ang dami ng maganda, so sabi ko dapat planuhin, dapat lumihis ako ng mag-excel ako. So plano-plano lang talaga.”
