Kathryn in no rush to portray mature roles

Teen actress Kathryn Bernardo is in no rush to portray more mature roles in her future film and television projects.

“Siyempre gusto ko rin [ng mature roles] pero ayaw kong madaliin. Kung ano ‘yung sa age ko lang muna sana,” she said.

Bernardo said she’d rather wait for the right time when she is already capable of playing non-teenybopper roles.

“Kung sa future, kung may mas seryoso na talaga, oo naman. Kasi gusto ko ring mag-grow as an actor, kung mabibigyan ako ng magandang project or opportunity,” she said.

Meanwhile, Bernardo said she is currently focused on her upcoming television series with Daniel Padilla “Got To Believe.”

“Ayaw ko ng i-compare sa ibang show na nagawa ko basta sa amin lang, very excited kami sa bagong project na ito. Kasi parang [romantic-comedy] talaga siya at si direk Cathy (Garcia-Molina) rom-com talaga 'yung specialty niya,” she said.

But like her previous series “Princess and I,” Bernardo said her upcoming series also has a very light theme.

“Ano talaga siya very fun. Hinahanap siguro ng mga tao sa primetime ‘yung light lang, ‘yung fresh lang, ‘yung young. Siguro ‘yun ang mapapanood nila sa soap na ‘to,” she said.

Asked why she thinks her team-up with Padilla is always a hit, Bernardo said: “Pareho kami [ni Daniel] ng gustong mangyari, nagtutulungan po kami... ‘Yung team work nandon tsaka hindi kayo nagsasapawan, tsaka suportahan kayo at ‘yun tulungan kayo sa eksena sa lahat ng soap.”
