Netizens, pinuri ang pagpapakatotoo ni Barbie Forteza ukol sa seryeng 'Kara Mia'

• Barbie admitted that Kara Mia is a project she feels didn't necessarily "work in her favor" artistically
• Despite any regrets, she jokingly clarified that the show helped her financially, saying, "It paid the bills"
• The actress recalled the struggle of filming scenes where two heads shared one body, which sparked endless internet jokes
• While she has some regrets in her young career, Barbie views these experiences as important lessons in the industry

In a discussion on the Kanto Roundtable podcast with 'Direk' JP Habac, Barbie was asked if she had any projects that didn't go as planned but taught her a lot. Without hesitation, she pointed to the show where she played a girl with a face on the back of her head.

"[Yung] Kara Mia po... It paid the bills," Barbie shared with a laugh in the now-viral video.

She went into detail about the physical difficulty of the role. Because of the unique "two-faced" concept, she often had to move in strange ways to make the special effects work, especially during emotional scenes.

"May eksena po kami, nasa footbridge kami. Nag-away kami, eh iisa lang po yung katawan. So ako, ako yung katawan, atras abante akong ganyan," she recalled.

The actress showed a lot of maturity by being able to laugh at herself. She acknowledged that at her young age, she has made choices she looks back on with a bit of a cringe, but that she doesn't hide from them.

"So to answer your question, sa bata kong 'to, marami na po akong pinagsisisihan. But again, it paid the bills."

Fans have praised Barbie's "no-filter" attitude, noting that it's rare to see a big star be so candid about the "work" side of showbiz.

"Weird but definitely iconic role for her pa rin naman. Better to have a weird role than a forgettable one."

"Being an actor is just like regular jobs. We may do something we didn't like but at the end of the day, it pays the bill."

"Pati sya nag-cringe sa Kara Mia pero pinag-usapan kasi kaya pumaldo pa rin siya. Yun ang ibig sabihin ni Barbie na di man niya nagustuhan ang role pero nagkapera pa rin siya."
