Marian Rivera was all smiles at the My Lady Boss Press Conference held at the Imperial Palace Suites last March 19. Together with her leading man, Richard Gutierrez, the Primetime Queen shared her experiences in filming My Lady Boss.
 

Following the blockbuster hit, My Best Friend’s Girlfriend, it took Richard and Marian five years to reunite on the big screen. Marian explained why it took a while for them to team up again.
 

“Kapag may project ako, may project din siya. Hindi nagkaka-swak ‘yung schedule namin at siguro mas maganda din po ‘yung hindi pinipilit, ‘yung kusang dumadating ang isang proyekto na ibinibigay talaga para sa amin. Ito, at least, mahaba ‘yung proseso, pinag-isipan ‘yung kuwento,” shared the Temptation of Wife star.
 

Marian added that her scenes with Richard in My Lady Boss are much more challenging and daring compared to their scenes together in My Best Friend’s Girlfriend.

She said, “…sa muling pagtatambal naming ni Chard, mas naging mature po kami. May mga eksena na hindi namin nagawa before, pero dahil sa nag-mature kami parehas, nagawa na namin siya ngayon.” 
 

When asked whether it was possible for her to fall for a boss as good-looking as Richard Gutierrez, Marian replied, “Depende po, kasi ang pagkatao naman po ay hindi nakikita lahat sa hitsura, eh. Kahit na sobrang guwapo, pero hindi mo kayang i-take ‘yung ugali, wala din naman. Pero why not, kung ang boss ko ay nagsusungit-sungitan pero mabait naman, at hindi naman siya taken, at hindi rin ako taken, why not?”
 

The 2012 Golden Screen TV Awards Best Actress also shared her outlook on her chosen career. 
 

 “Kapag nag-roll ang camera, iba po kasi ‘yun. Kumbaga, iintindihin mo muna ang acting mo, ‘yung character mo, hindi ‘yung nararamdaman mo, kasi para po sa akin, ang trabaho ay trabaho po. Hindi ko i-iinvolve ang personal life ko ‘dun,” explained Marian.
