Is Heart Evangelista in China to shoot for 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel?


Kapuso star Heart Evangelista is currently in China and fans are speculating she's there to shoot for the "Crazy Rich Asians" movie sequel "China Rich Girlfriend."

Her Instagram posts showing her adventure in China has induced rumors that she might be playing the role of Colette Bing, the girlfriend of Rachel Chu's brother.

In the book, Colette is a billionaire socialite and — just like Heart, if we may add — a social media influencer.

 

 

Fans have been leaving comments on her posts, hoping that she would play as Colette Bing.

Instagram user @countessmelia said she wants Heart to play as Colette for they have a lot of things in common.

"I really hope you would be playing Colette Bing... you will definitely do her character justice, you have too many things in common... can't wait for the official pasabog!!!"

Another Instagram user @hirosudo said, "Let me guess you're going to play as Colette Bing in China Rich Girlfriend? which is why you're in China to shoot the film, am I right? Either way, love u heart!!!"

 


During her management contract signing with Artist Center last December, Heart teased that she will be working on a movie "but it's a secret," she said. 

Last July, Heart revealed that she auditioned for "Crazy Rich Asians" and almost got a role.

In Paris on the same month, she was seen with the "Crazy Rich Asians" best-selling author Kevin Kwan for couture week. The sighting ignited the rumors.

The rendezvous apparently was for a video feature on Harper's Bazaar, where she was tagged as one of the "Real Crazy Rich Asians" along with a few other Asian fashion influencers like Hong Kong socialite Feiping Chang, Michelle Yeoh and her twin Rachel.

In the video, Kwan described Heart as "the darling of the Philippines. She is one of the most acclaimed actresses and she’s also an artist. She’s had amazing museum shows in the Philippines.” 

Just a few days ago, Heart posted a photo of herself standing beside several pieces of red Rimowa luggage, again fueling speculations that she might stay longer than a usual vacation in China.

 

 

In an Instagram post expressing how proud he is of Heart, makeup artist Albert Kurniawan revealed the actor and artist will be staying in China for a month.

"Starting this year's hustle with my muse Missy @iamhearte, and I'm so excited for her new project! I'm incredibly happy for you dear. You truly deserve every blessing coming your way. #TopSecret See you in one month's time! Kaya mo yan dear."
