If anyone can play a Filipino lola, it’s Gina Pareño – and she may just be considering the role.
The veteran actress took to Twitter to share Disney’s casting search for a Filipino lola (grandmother) alongside a photo of her, saying, “Pasado ba ako ‘pag nag-audition ako sa Disney (Will I pass if I audition for Disney)? RETWEET IF YOU AGREE.”
As of this writing, over 27,000 Twitter users agreed with her via retweet, while over 100,000 liked the post.
In a follow-up tweet, she asked followers to retweet her “para makarating sa kanila, pls (so it will reach them, please)!”
Disney recently announced that they were searching for an actress between 50 to 90 years old, of Filipino or Filipino-American descent to play the role of “Lola.”
The casting search said no previous acting experience is necessary, but the applicant must be able to speak fluent English and be authorized to work in the United States. The shoot will be done in mid-February, and applications close on January 31.
Pareño, 71, certainly fits the description of “Lola,” having played a grandmother herself many times in shows like Let The Love Begin and Tayong Dalawa, and films like Hating Kapatid, Hintayan ng Langit, and Wander Bra. – Rappler.com
