With preparations underway for her second fantaserye in July entitled Dyosa, Anne Curtis is more than ready to play the role she’s always wanted.

“Ever since I was 12, I’ve always wanted to be a mermaid. This is a dream come true for me and that’s why I’m so happy.

It’s really something that I’ve always wanted to do and I’ve finally been given the opportunity,” she admits.

In Dyosa, Anne plays a goddess of air, land, and water who keeps the balance between the world of mortals and the world of immortals.

Her powers enable her to transform into a mermaid, a bird, and a centaur. “It’s my first time to play a role with three different characters and capabilities.

It’s something very different from what you see on TV so it’s something I’m really excited about,” she adds.

Another first for her is that she has three gorgeous leading men to be played by Zanjoe Marudo, Luis Manzano, and Sam Milby.

“I’m so excited because I’ve worked with each of them separately before. But this is the first time for us to work together so I’m really excited because they differ in personalities. It’s something to look forward to,” she says excitedly. In the series, her leading men will each play a mortal, an immortal, and a villain. But the twist is to keep the audience guessing on who plays what.

During her first taping day in the waters off of Calatagan, Batangas, Anne proved to be a real trooper when it came to doing the underwater scenes while wearing her mermaid costume. The actress took some introductory diving lessons early this year from members of the Philippine team to learn certain signals and make it easier for her to act under the sea. “It definitely helped that I am a beach person to begin with. It’s so much fun for me under the water. Except for getting saltwater in my eyes, it’s okay once you’re down there. It was something different,” she explains.

The actress also divulges that it will also be her first time to shoot a “nude” shot for a project. This scene takes place at times when her tail becomes human legs. “It’s not what you think. It’s an illusion. I have prosthetics,” she stresses.

Because of the mermaid aspect of the series, Anne is also aware of comparisons people may have between Diyosa and Dyesebel, as well as Marina and other Dyesebel remakes of the past. “I’m ready to accept any criticisms coming my way.

I think it’s a healthy competition. It’s inevitable in our business. It’s part of the industry. That is expected. That’s why I think you should only give your best so you don’t have any regrets,” she says.

Even with memorable roles in Hiram, Kampanyerang Kuba, and most recently as Celine Magsaysay in Maging Sino Ka Man, Anne still strives to do her best. “As an actress, I don’t want to stick to just one genre.

I want to explore different roles,” she confides. When asked how she feels about having a role made especially just for her, Anne relates, “I’m so happy that they gave me an opportunity to do this.

I want to do my best because there are so many eyes on me now. I need to give my best because it’s a role that I’ve been waiting for, for so long.”
