Sexy Talk with Bea Alonzo

At 15, Bea Alonzo was already playing characters way above her years. And yet, she gave those characters impressive justice, making people wonder where, at her tender age, she was drawing inspiration (motivation) from…not from experience, definitely.

“It shows how good an actress she is,” said Nuel Naval, director of Star Cinema’s The Love Affair in which Bea is pitted against veterans Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez, playing the lawyer-girlfriend of Richard who plays the husband of Dawn.

The movie’s trailer has been trending because of Dawn and Bea’s confrontation scene exchanging brutally-frank dialogue. Dawn: Malandi ka! Bea: Look’s who’s talking! Another talked-about scene shows an angry Richard clashing with Dawn, touching her upper parts (too hot to be included in the trailer, but you can catch it in the movie which starts showing nationwide tomorrow, Aug. 12).

Funfare readers have been requesting for a “sexy talk” with Bea. She obliged very gladly.
