Why Alessandra De Rossi Plans To Quit From Showbiz Four Years From Now

ALESSANDRA DE ROSSI surprised writers interviewing her at the “Pahiram ng Sandali” presscon when she declared that she intends to quit showbiz, preferably soon. “Hindi na kasi ko masaya sa pag-aartista. Kaya lang, four years pa before fully paid ang bahay ko, so di pa puede,” she says.

Why isn’t she happy anymore? “Pare-pareho na kasi roles na binibigay sa’kin. Lately, yun at yun din. Kontrabida, nang-aagaw ng boyfriend, mistress. Lagi na lang akong masama. Sabi nila, magaling akong artista, pero hindi ko napi-feel kasi pare-pareho nga ginagawa ko.”

To put it simply, she’s disillusioned with the roles she’s getting. “Buti na nga lang, may indie films akong ginagawa na naiiba ang role ko. In ‘Mater Dolorosa’, anak ako ni Gina Alajar na isang babaeng crime lord. Ako naman, babaeng pulis, kaya opposites kami. Tapos, in ‘Baybayin’ na shot in Palawan, magkaagaw naman kami ng sister kong si Assunta over a man na hindi nakakapagsalita.”

So what would she do in case she turns her back on acting? “Iniisip ko pa. I can do work behind the camera. Puede kong magsulat, I can do musical score, like ginagawa ko ngayon ang music ng movie ni Direk Adolf Alix na ‘Death March’. Puede rin akong bumili ng film equipment at papa-rent ko na lang. Basta, gusto ko connected pa rin sa showbiz. But yung roles assigned to me now, I don’t do it half-heartedly. Full blast pa rin ang emoting ko diyan. Like dito sa ‘Pahiram ng Sandali’, aba, dapat lang galingan ko dahil ang madalas kong kaeksena, sina Christopher de Leon at Lorna Tolentino lang naman, so kailangan talaga makipagsabayan ako sa kanila nang hindi nila ko kainin ng buhay.”

“Pahiram ng Sandali” airs starting tomorrow on GMA-7 replacing “Coffee Prince”.
