Lately, the trending
news and posts have been about “Teen
Queen” Kathryn Bernardo and how she has a new found ‘kalokalike’ who is the
“Talk Back and You’re Dead” star, Nadine Lustre.
Kathryn herself being
the “She’s Dating A Gangster” star
was interviewed during the sidelines of a press conference where she was being
launched as the first celebrity endorser of Nails by Chic Centre last
Tuesday.
"Of course, pag
sinasabihan ka na may kamukha ka, ganyan, nakakatuwa naman kasi may ibang tao
na na-ko-compare ka nila," Kathryn had commented.
Kathryn, noted for
being 18 and dubbed as showbiz’ “Teen Queen” had agreed to the thought that
both her and Nadine had similarities in some angles to the two-year older
actress but emphasized that it shouldn’t be an issue.
"Wala namang
issue sa akin 'yon, kasi pag nakikita ko siya sa screen, very pretty naman
siya, very charming, so wala namang problema," she said.
Another question asked
was if the two actresses have met. Kathryn admitted that she had seen Nadine at
the backstage of “ASAP” last Sunday
but was unable to have a proper introduction for they were rushing for a
production number.

During the interview,
Kathryn was also pushed for her reaction towards the supposed bashing towards
Nadine due to their apparent physical similarities. Nadine, the “Diary ng Panget” star has admitted
before that she has received threats from people who had claimed to be fans of
both Kathryn and her on screen partner, Daniel
Padilla or the most well-known name, KathNiel
fans.
"Feeling ko,
'yung iba kasi na mimis-interpret nila 'yung mga Kathniels na, 'Grabe, war
freak,' ganyan, pero hindi," Bernardo said. "Very caring lang talaga
'yung mga Kathniels sa amin ni DJ (Padilla)."
Kathryn had also
added, "Feeling ko naman kasi, wala rin silang gagawing iba kung wala
silang nakikitang... kung walang nagsimula. Feeling ko, na mimis-interpret lang
'yung iba. Madali mo naman pakiusapan 'yung mga Kathniels. Grabe lang talaga
'yung suporta nila and nagpapasalamat talaga ako doon."
For Nadine and her own
leading man, James Reid the on
screen pair have expressed their own admiration to the talents of KathNiel as they have been able to make
the comparisons to their love team and KathNiel go into one ear and out the
next. The duo has explained that they are still new and have much more to prove
to the public.
Kathryn showed her
gratitude to both Nadine and James for them expressing their admiration to KathNiel
as an inspiration, but has admitted that the pressure has been pushed on her
and Daniel even more since they have been the benchmark for young stars.
"Nakaka-flatter
talaga 'yung gano'n, kasi kino-consider nila kami na isa sa mga gusto nila.
Pressured din," she said. "Kami naman ni DJ, gusto ko rin naman na sa
pag-arte o sa lahat ng mga ginagawa namin, maganda 'yung na-o-offer namin sa
lahat. Good thing din, kasi may mga nai-inspire na ibang tao."
