IT’S
hard to believe but Shaina Magdayao just turned 18
recently. While she looks her age, the fact that we’ve
been watching her for almost a decade now would make you
think that the young actress is 72!
Shaina
at 18 has definitely achieved a lot of things that
actresses twice her age can only aspire to. Despite
this, she remains a level-headed girl who just wants to
do good in her life and in her career.
Recently, it was announced that Shaina will form a love
triangle with Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual in an
upcoming teleserye.
Congratulations on getting a plum role in the Angel-Piolo
teleserye. How does it feel? Are you scared to take on
such a challenge?
I’ve
always been up for any challenge in my life, although I
have to admit I’m nervous, but I’m really looking
forward to it.
Your
role is quite mature and far from the usual you’ve
portrayed. Considering you’ve never had a boyfriend, how
do you plan to approach your role?
I trust
my directors in the teleserye and Piolo and Angel are
really talented people. I know I can learn a lot from
them. I also plan to study and develop my character very
well.
Maybe
you should have a boyfriend. Speaking of which, the last
time we talked you admitted Rayver (Cruz) was courting
you. So where are you now?
Rayver
is one of my closest friends in the business. As I said,
we got past the getting-to-know-you stage and he is
still courting me. Time will tell, I guess. I’m really
not the type that if someone courts me, I’ll say yes
right away. I’m really not in a hurry.
Is
Rayver still “special” to you?
What I
like most about Rayver is that he knows me inside and
out. I’m a moody person and he knows how to make me feel
better. He knows how to make me laugh and he is very
thoughtful and sweet to me.
What
about John Prats?
Well, we
go out and I’ll admit it for the first time: he really
is courting me. But I handle him the way I handle Rayver
and any other guy who shows his intentions. I really
want to get to know a person better before I jump into
anything.
Now that
you’re 18, what do you look forward to?
A lot!
(Laughs) There are too many to mention but I really want
to live life to the fullest!
Do you
have any fears about turning older?
I guess
only the fear that there are more expectations of you as
you get older. Especially here in showbiz, a lot of
people trust you and at the same time put pressure on
you.
So now
that you’re 18, is there any chance you’ll show more
skin to your male fans, like, say, pose in a men’s
magazine?
No, I
don’t think so. Even though I’m 18, I’ll still ask for
my parents’ approval. They are very important to me and
I don’t think they’d agree. I have nothing against the
women who have done it. Some of them are in fact my
friends and I admire their photos because they’re very
artfully done and all. I just don’t think I have the
guts to do so. |
