However, she also shared her desire to return to romantic comedy and play a character reminiscent of Toni Gonzaga in her favorite Filipino movie, “Starting Over Again.”
Continuing her streak of compelling performances, Stranner is set to star in the highly anticipated series “Pamilya Sagrado” alongside well-known artists like Piolo Pascual, Kyle Echarri, and Grae Fernandez.
Beyond her acting endeavors, Stranner is a soccer varsity player. “Growing up, I was boyish. That’s why I got into soccer…I used to compete in regional tournaments for soccer,” she shared. This insight into her personal life offers a glimpse into the array of interests and experiences that define her, hinting at even more to discover.
With her undeniable talent and impressive track record—from notable roles in television series to acclaimed performances in films—Stanner’s journey in the industry is gaining momentum.
