Sinakripisyo ang pera at kasikatan para sa Hollywood dream…LIZA, aminadong labis na nasaktan nang tinawag na ‘laos’ (ni: ROHN ROMULO) 

AMINADO si Liza Soberano na sobra siyang nasasaktan kapag tinatawag na ‘laos’ nang magtungo sa Amerika para sa kanyang Hollywood dream noong 2024.

Ibinahagi ng dating ka-loveteam at karelasyon ni Enrique Gil sa “Painfully Human Podcast” hosted by Edward Barber, ang mga naging kaganapan sa buhay at career niya, ang mga dinanas na hirap at sakripisyo nang iwan ang career sa Pilipinas.

Tanong ni Edward kay Liza, ano ang mga bagay na isinakripisyo to think may magandang showbiz career sa bansa.

“Money,” tugon ng aktres. 

“For the longest time, this is something that I’ve realized about myself after stepping away from showbiz and kind of the Philippines in general. 

“I don’t mean disrespect by this, but like I was so afraid of looking poor… it’s not like I look down on poor people, I definitely don’t. I was poor growing up.” 

Dagdag pa niya, “I remember when I joined showbiz, everybody was always saying like ‘Oh, don’t talk too much about your personal life’ that’s why nobody knows much of my upbringing. 

“Everybody just thinks that I must come from a wealthy background because I’m half American, I’m mestiza, and everything. And that’s really far from the truth.” 

“In order to not distract people from the brand that we were carefully curating, I never really went in depth about my story. 

“But now that I’ve moved to LA, obviously, money is the biggest thing that I’ve sacrificed because I could be here in the Philippines doing the same thing I’ve been doing since I was 12, making lots of money,” pahayag pa ni Liza. 

Kuwento pa ni Liza, “I could be easily just doing that and still making the same amount of money that I used to, but now I don’t. That’s what I sacrificed to be living in LA and discomfort.

“Now that I’m in LA, obviously I’m a new artist. I’m going through all the new artists things.” 

Say pa niya, “When I first moved to LA, it really hurt me when people would say, ‘Oh, laos na siya. We don’t see her anywhere. Oh, laos na siya. She’s only doing these small little influencer gigs.’

“Guys, that’s how I stay alive. I’m not making as much money as I did before and on top of that, majority of my money still comes from Asia, but I’m living in the US, so the conversion is crazy.

“I have to do all these little gigs every now and then because that’s how I pay my bills.

“That’s the price that I’m paying so that I can fulfill this ambition or dream of mine,” she said. “Money and just the comfort of not having to put in the effort to grow,” pahayag ni Liza.

Inamin din niya na gumagastos siya sa acting workshops at vocal lessons, “In America, I do three to four auditions a week and I get rejected constantly. But I’m loving it now because I’m learning and growing so much. 

“All these different roles which is fun, but then I still get rejected because I’m doing the thing I said I wanted to do.”

Anyway, after her Hollywood debut sa 2024 horror-comedy film “Lisa Frankenstein”, kasama si Kathryn Newton, isa pang international project ang nakuha niya bilang isa sa lead voice actors ng upcoming animated feature na “Forgotten Island” na  mula sa DreamWorks Animation. 

Makakasama niya rito ang Filipino and international artists tulad nina H.E.R., Lea Salonga, Manny Jacinto, Dave Franco, at Jenny Slate.
