Kyline Alcantara says she's ready for more mature roles

Kyline Alcantara turned 18 years old this month and she's now more ready to accept more "mature roles."

In a virtual press interview for the studio comeback of "All Out Sundays," Kyline said she wants to take on her acting career to the next level now that she's a year older.

"Ang dami pong nagatatanong sa 'kin: 'Pag nag-18 ka na ba, ready ka na bang mag-accept ng mature roles? And yes," Kyline answered in the affirmative.

Recognizing that "mature roles" can mean a number of things, Kyline explained what she meant by "mature roles": "More challenging roles na hindi na patweetums. 'Yun yung pagkakaintindi ko ng 'mature roles'," Kyline clarified.

The Kapuso actress said that is what she aims to do next year.

"Magkaron ng napakaraming mature roles, character roles, challenging roles, gusto ko magkaron ng challenge, extra challenge sa buhay. Kumbaga para yung apoy ko sa loob, it's still burning," she said.

Kyline admitted that she was inspired by Nora Aunor who she's co-starring with in "Bilangin Ang Bituin Sa Langit," which she said will be returning to taping next month.

"'Yun po yung mga gusto ko, mga ganong tipo ng mature roles, mga mabibigat," Kyline said referencing to Nora's portrayals.

"Na-realize ko na parang 'ah kaya pala siya superstar,'" Kyline said.

Sharing how Nora has inspired her, Kyline said, "ang dami kong na-realize sa kanya and siya kasi yung artista na kapag off-cam, iba. Kalog, jolly, kapag dating sa set 'pag tapak na pagtapak sa set, character na siya. You can't talk to her like Nora Aunor kailangan mo na siyang kausapin bilang character niya," Kyline narrated.

The Kapuso actress said that is what she hopes to be as an actress.

'Yun yung parang gusto ko focused but at the same time living my life to the fullest," she said.

Kyline is one of the stars who will be performing on studio for "All Out Sundays" on September 27, Sunday at 12 noon. — LA, GMA News
