The well-known multi-talented star noted that audiences frequently become so invested in a narrative that they expect an actor to constantly reflect that exact same persona or character off-screen.

When that fantasy is broken, the reaction from onlookers can be quite dramatic.

"People want you to be that character, that when you're not on TV... they expect you to be the same person," Nadine detailed passionately. "They get disappointed, they hate on you," she added.

To highlight her point, Nadine bared a specific example from one of her most iconic career chapters. During the peak of her hit romantic-comedy series On The Wings of Love alongside former love team partner James Reid, her fictional identity completely took over her public life at some point in time.

"There was a point na nung nagto-tour ako abroad, people would really call me Leah, which is my character in On The Wings of Love," Nadine recalled.

"It got to a point where people thought that my problems—Leah's problems—were actually my problems in real life. The way I dressed in the shows were how I dressed in real life."
