Jaclyn Jose on Andrea Torres: 'Ang laki ng improvement'
Internationally acclaimed actress Jaclyn Jose has given her stamp of approval to the brilliant performance of Kapuso drama star Andrea Torres in the soap The Better Woman.
Jaclyn plays the role of Erlinda, the mother of Andrea in the primetime series.
In her interview with the entertainment press during the grand media conference of The Better Woman, held at the Prime Hotel last June 27, Jaclyn lauded the huge improvement of Andrea in terms of her acting.
She explained, “Nakita ko yung improvement ang laki! Ang laki ng improvement mula noong The Millionaire's Wife.
“Ang galing niya. 'Tsaka may potensyal naman talaga si Ada (Andrea Torres) noon pa, Millionaire's pa okay na siya pero dito kita ko yung 'ay ang laki ng inimprove',”
Meanwhile, Andrea was over the moon upon learning that she will be working for the third time with the Cannes Film Best actress.
They have worked before in The Millionaire's Wife and Alyas Robinhood and it's sequel.
“Third time na namin magkatrabaho, kaya ko siya gustong-gusto kasi para ko siyang mommy. Like kung paano kami ni Derek hindi ko ma-explain kung bakit nagji-jive kami ng ganun.
“Ganun din kami ni Ms. Jaclyn Jose so nung sinabi na siya yung mommy ko, kinilig ako kasi sabi ko 'Ay mapapadali agad 'yung trabaho ko',”
Meanwhile, the dashing Kapuso hunk Derek Ramsay described working with Jaclyn Jose as an 'intense experience.'
Derek said, “Grabe she's intense! When I say intense kaya niya gawin 'yung minimal acting na intense pa rin.”
He added that it can be 'intimidating' acting alongside Jaclyn Jose, but he learned a lot by observing her in every scene.
“Big or small she treats it the same way. She attacks it the same way and she is also very vocal kung maganda 'yung ginawa mo o hindi.
“So ako I'm like a sponge. I just want to learn from her. We have quite a number of scenes already and I've already learned so much on how to tone down your acting a little bit but the intensity is still there.
“She is a brilliant actress and that's why she is an internationally awarded actress. She really deserves it,”
