Why Chloe is happy she headed her parents’ advice
CHLOE Jenna is one of Viva’s resident sexpots who has played supporting roles in movies like “Eva”, “Do You Think I’m Sexy”, “Boso Dos” and “Night Bird”. She is now doing her solo launching flick, “Ligaw na Bulaklak”, directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo.
But before that is shown, she first gives a totally unabashed performance in “Patikim-tikim” as the ultra liberated girlfriend of lead actor Aerol Carmelo. The rambunctiously funny opening scene shows her wantonly making love with Aerol, refusing to listen to his pleas and cries to stop working on him as he has already ran out of energy.
“I’m playing a character so different from me in real life,” she says. “She’s loud and crazy, oversexed. But I enjoyed playing the character and I want to thank Direk Joey Reyes for giving me the role of April who is so uninhibited. Kakaiba ang treatment kasi comedy ang dating.”
Is she playing a similar character in her launching movie? “No, I play a totally different role in my solo film, ‘Ligaw na Bulaklak,’ directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo. Tahimik naman ako roon as Diane, mahinhin at mysterious. Leading man ko si Arron Villaflor. It’s due for streaming on September 22 naman, so abangan nyo.”
Chloe started her career with Viva just a year ago but she says she’s been receiving offers since her college days in UP where she took up theatre arts.
“Gusto ko na tanggapin, pero ayaw ng parents ko,” she says. “Gusto nila, magtapos muna ako para pagpasok ko ng showbiz, may diploma na ako. I felt frustrated then but now, I’m glad I listened to my parents kasi napagbigyan ko ang hiling nila to get muna higher education.”
Now, she feels more equipped to take on any roles offered to her. She’s very conversant in both Tagalog and English so she can play both purdoy and susyal characters. Doesn’t she feel any hesitation doing sexy roles?
“None. When I joined Viva, they explained to me what Vivamax is all about and I don’t really mind doing dark, erotic materials. I also have no limitations. Pinasok ko ito and I’m prepared to do whatever my directors would ask me to do, basta kailangan talaga sa story at sa ikagaganda ng movie.”
