MANILA, Philippines — Actress Nadine Lustre revealed that she is not yet ready to become a mother.
The actress told ABS-CBN News that she is not yet ready to take on another major responsibility. She is currently focused on her acting career, as well as her businesses, including a local coconut milk brand she put up with her boyfriend Christophe Bariou.
“Nakakatakot maging nanay, honestly, like every time we (referring to Christophe) talk about it. I’ve been working for as long as I can remember, and I can’t imagine having another responsibility other than my career,” she said.
“I am so focused with my career and, of course, this guy and our businesses as well. So, parang hindi ako ready. So, saludo talaga ako sa mga moms,” she added.
On the big screen, Nadine is cast as a beauty queen in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Call Me Mother” with Vice Ganda.
“I’ve done a lot of research when it comes to being a beauty queen. Research and I’ve done a few days of training, because my character in the film is a beauty queen and it’s very important for me to know about the industry and about my character as well,” she said.
The actress said that she particularly focused on her fitness training since she would film pageant scenes for the movie.
“I would say the trickiest part of my role is that every time I’m on set or every time we’re filming or shooting a scene, my posture needs to be different, and the thing is I’m used to… I’m hunched all the time. But in the movie, I have to be upright and beauty queen posture, so it’s kind of tricky. It’s very challenging because I always have to remember,” Nadine said.
