Bela Padilla is a remarkable individual who wears many hats as a director, producer, actor, and businesswoman. She is truly the epitome of someone who can be her own boss.
Despite all her achievements and the blessings that come with her diverse roles, there is one opportunity she hesitates to accept: working in theater.
During an episode of the Manila Bulletin's podcast, "The Sit Down," Bela shared her reasons for not wanting to try theater.
"Maybe one day in the future, but kasi, honestly, first, I have terrible stage fright. Second, I'm super forgetful, and my attention span is so short. So I feel like I would forget every show, may makakalimutan akong line for sure. (Maybe one day in the future. But honestly, first of all, I have terrible stage fright. Second, I'm really forgetful, and my attention span is super short—so I feel like I’d forget every show, and I’d definitely forget my lines)," Bela said.
Bela mentioned that she often forgets her routine, such as catching up with friends, but she never forgets her lines when filming.
"Funny story tho, I'm forgetful with everything, like I could meet a person like two days ago, and then I wouldn't know their name today. Pero kapag lines sa film, I'll remember everything kahit yung lines ng kaeksena ko. (Funny thing is, I'm super forgetful about everything—like, I could meet someone two days ago and already forget their name. But when it comes to film lines, I remember everything—even my co-star’s lines)," she added.
Although the actress is still hesitant about trying theater, JC Santos, her leading man in the movie "100 Awit Para Kay Stella," reassured her that there's no harm in giving it a try.
"Kung ako naman kasama mo hindi naman mangyayari yun, pero konting push na lang feeling ko mapiplit ko na siya. (If I were with you, that wouldn't happen, but with just a little push, I feel like I can force her)," JC said.
