A younger sister of celebrity stylist Liz Uy is on her way to making her own name in show business.
Laureen Uy, 21, has earned her acting debut as a part of the cast of the new television series “My Binondo Girl,” which stars Kim Chiu.
Coming from a family exposed to the entertainment industry, Laureen confessed that she has long aspired to make it big in show business.
“Actually, when I was young, I really wanted to enter showbiz, but coming from a half-Chinese family, they wanted me to study first and graduate,” she told Push.com.ph.
Given this long-time dream, she was very thankful for the opportunity given to her to be a part of the new television series.
She said, “Siyempre napakasaya ko. Parang in my head naisip ko na, ‘Sigurado ba kayo na gusto niyo na ito ibigay sa akin knowing na lahat ng kasama ko is big actors like Kim Chiu, Ai-Ai De las Alas, Cherry Pie Picache, and Gina Pareño?’ Sobra akong privileged, and for me, I consider this to really be a big opportunity to show my skills, to learn more and para makatrabaho ko sila lahat, parang dream na yun para sa akin na nandito na ako ngayon.”
With her sister Liz often being in the limelight, Laureen claimed that it wasn’t really hard for her to get her parents' permission to pursue her dream to be an actress.
“Since growing up yung Ate ko at Kuya ko nasa magazine industry na, so medyo naging open na yung eyes ng dad ko with the media industry, so nung pumasok ako sa showbiz hindi na sila masyado nahirapan. Parang supportive naman sila all the way,” she said.
In “My Binondo Girl,” Laureen plays the role of Amethyst, the half-sister of Chiu’s character Jade Dimaguiba.
Laureen claimed that she didn’t find it hard to play her part because she can relate to her character.
She explained, “She’s actually very close kasi to how I am in real life. She’s a girl aspiring to be a fashion designer and mahilig siyang magdamit. Bata pa tapos mahilig matuto ng mga bagong stuff, so parang ako din yun in real life."
“I have a blog and I own a clothing business so hindi ako masyado nahihirapan and the same time, natututo ako kasi siyempre yung mga emotion na pinapakita, iyak, tawa, galit, lahat nandun.”
