Barbie Forteza calls 'Saving Cherry' her most mature role yet

Barbie Forteza has called her role in the upcoming movie "Saving Cherry" her most mature role to date.

In Aubrey Carampel's report on "Balitanghali" Tuesday, the Kapuso actress shared that she got to unleash her wild side in the film.

"Actually, it was fun because let's admit it, not everyone who acts nice is actually nice, so I did not expect that I would have that kind of side. Wild but with reason, with depth, and most of all, I think this is my most mature role so far because it tackles marriage," she said in Filipino.

In June, Barbie surprised netizens and celebrities alike when she posted bridal-themed photos of herself on Instagram.

It was later revealed that the photos are from her wedding scene with co-star Khalil Ramos in "Saving Cherry."

Aside from Khalil, Barbie is also joined by Mikee Quintos, Mika Salamanca, Kokoy De Santos, Sassa Gurl, AC Bonifacio, JC Alcantara, and Joey Marquez, among others.

Directed by Ivan Andrew Payawal, “Saving Cherry” will premiere in cinemas on September 2.

Aside from “Saving Cherry,” Barbie will star in the upcoming collab series “Honor Thy Mother” with Sharon Cuneta.

Barbie marked her 29th birthday on July 31. She celebrated her special day early by spending time with children and teens under the care of CRIBS Foundation, a child welfare foundation. —CDC, GMA News
