Andrea Brillantes looks back on first GMA audition, acting project

Andrea Brillantes looked back on her early experiences with GMA Network, recalling how she auditioned for “Marimar” when she was only three or four years old.

On Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the actress shared that she was shy and had difficulty speaking in front of a lot of people then.

“At that time, I was still shy and couldn't really speak in front of many people, especially when I saw Miss Marian [Rivera], I think I was so starstruck that I forgot all my lines,” Andrea said.

Andrea also recalled starring in “Cielo de Angelina,” which she believes was her first show on GMA.

“I was still very young then. I think I was around nine years old. And I remember that this was probably my very first show on GMA,” she said.

Andrea is starring in the movie “Laya” alongside JC Santos and Anthony Jennings. It is coming to cinemas on November 25.
