On May 24, Viva artist Denise Esteban revealed that she had to let go of her studies when she got into showbiz.
At the media conference for ‘Star Dancer’, Esteban said she chose a showbiz career. She explained, “Para sa akin hindi naman dream yung kailangan ko i-let go. Siguro ni-let go ko lang ‘yung studies ko para mag-start ako, bigla akong mag-start sa showbiz. So mas pinili ko ‘yung showbiz na path kaysa sa pag-aaral na direction ko sana kung hindi ako natuloy sa showbiz.”
She shared that she wanted to seize the opportunity, noting that she could always return to her studies.
Esteban expressed, “Sa ngayon, siguro hindi na muna, kasi na-enjoy ko rin ngayon ‘yung sa showbiz, na-enjoy ko rin umarte, tsaka kung mag-iisip talaga ako ng mabuti, kung iisipin ko po talaga ng mabuti, kasi para sa akin ‘yung school, mababalikan ko ‘yung school anytime eh, ‘yung mga ganitong opportunity minsan lang dumating, so kailangan mo laging kunin ‘yung opportunity.”
As for her character in ‘Star Dancer’, Esteban said it was her first time taking on a role involving striptease dancing. She said, “Based po doon sa mga piyesa na na-try ko ng sayawin, iba po ‘yung mga piyesa na sinayaw ko dito kasi sobrang sexy po. First time ko pong sumayaw ng ganon ka-sexy, since ‘yung pinanggalingan kong grupo dati, medyo bata-bata ‘yung grupo namin. Na-try ko po dito ‘yung mala-stripper na talaga ‘yung sayaw.”
As for Esteban’s upcoming Vivamax movie, she stars in the sexy-dance film ‘Star Dancer’ with Viva artists Rose Van Ginkel and Arron Villaflor.
The cast also features Erika Balagtas, Arah Alonzo, Karl Aquino, and Billy Villeta.
Pam Miras directs ‘Star Dancer’, which streams on Vivamax starting June 2.
