Filipino TV host and actress Kris Aquino visited Los Angeles on Easter Sunday to reportedly sign on to a major Hollywood movie contract after experiencing a series of rejections over the past year.
In an Instagram post, Aquino mentioned she would be signing a deal after doing an audition shoot for “a big Hollywood studio movie” which will be filming soon.
Local media in the Philippines have speculated that the 46-year-old would land a role in the upcoming adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s best-selling novel “Crazy Rich Asians”, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
“But today Easter Sunday- I wanted you to know my story… I pray it gives you encouragement & hope. I am proof that in life doors will shut & there will be heartbreaking setbacks but FAITH in God’s plan will open new, unexpected doors,” Aquino said in her post.
The “Queen of All Media” went on to discuss the intense process she had to go through of sending a reel in 72 hours, thanking the people who helped her shoot her audition scenes and video bio.
Aquino has kept the details about her new role and movie under wraps.
“I passed 5 levels of intense scrutiny and was offered a role,” Aquino said. “It is surreal to be reading the script from a major Hollywood studio watermarked on every page with my name.”
Kris returned to TV with her new travel and lifestyle special on GMA-7, “Trip ni Kris,” after staying away from the spotlight for nearly a year following her time at ABS-CBN, according to CNN Philippines.
But her comeback was surrounded with controversy after revealing that she was disappointed with the show’s producer, Rhodora Morales, in an interview with online magazine, PEP.
Aquino has since apologized to Morales on her Facebook page.
