Cuneta’s weight-loss journey has long been met with doubt, until she finally proved she can do it.
Coming from an acting hiatus that lasted for nearly one and a half year, Sharon Cuneta, more popularly known as the one and only, ‘Megastar’, is set to conquer local television once more, with the highly-anticipated free TV premiere of ‘Saving Grace’, Dreamscape Entertainment’s adaptation of its original Japanese material, ‘Mother’. As Miranda Jimenez, Cuneta’s role strikes nostalgia, as she previously hosted her own TV show, eponymously named after her.
It is not just her return to acting and local television that extremely amazes social media and the press. During the grand press conference of the upcoming series, she stunned netizens and inspired many, with her mind-blowing transformation. A sexier and skinnier Megastar arrived at the venue.
Cuneta’s struggle to finally achieve such form, however, has been an open secret. Months leading to such accomplishment, she was still a subject of ridicule, with many doubting she would ever succeed with her fitness journey. But she did, and voila, eyes gorged out and jaws dropped at her previously-deemed impossible transformation!
“Sobrang Latina!!!” one commenter on X quipped. Another revered her journey as inspiring to those who have been going through a similarly difficult fitness dream.
“Ka-sexy, parang bumalik sa pagkabata si Ms. Sharon!” another said, while another netizen, noted how amazing the showbiz icon’s journey was.
“Grabe lahat nalang hahangaan mo sa kanya. pati pag papapayat ay di pala imposible kahit anong age…” said one fan. Cuneta turns 60 in January, next year, which makes this victory, even more inspiring.
Achieving such a feat has not been an easy undertaking, of course. “Nakakaiyak. Nakakagutom!” she revealed in an interview, noting the diet restrictions she had to follow to reduce her weight.
Saving Grace is set to debut on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida, on March 3, in all its available platforms .
