In a candid revelation, actress MAX Collins has disclosed that she proactively sought approval from Marian Rivera before engaging in love scenes with Dingdong Dantes for their upcoming television project. Collins emphasized her deep respect and admiration for Rivera, ensuring transparency and courtesy throughout the production process.
Prioritizing Respect and Communication
Collins explained, "I love her, I respect her. I spoke to her about this... she is very supportive. Whenever I have something to post, I also message her to ask for permission out of respect. We have a good relationship." This approach underscores Collins' commitment to maintaining harmony and mutual understanding, particularly given Dantes' marriage to Rivera.
Building on Past Collaborations
The actress further elaborated on their existing bond, noting, "I actually talked to her a lot... we worked together before on 'My Guardian Alien,' so we became friends. And now that we have a new show, I spoke to her even before we started." This prior collaboration has fostered a foundation of trust and camaraderie, making the conversation about sensitive scenes more comfortable and straightforward.
Collins portrays the love interest of Dantes in the GMA series "The Master Cutter," a role that necessitated clear boundaries and open dialogue. By involving Rivera early on, Collins aimed to prevent any potential misunderstandings and reinforce the positive dynamics among all parties involved.
Her actions reflect a broader trend in the entertainment industry where professionalism and personal respect are increasingly valued, especially in scenarios involving intimate or romantic content. Collins' proactive communication serves as a model for maintaining healthy relationships both on and off-screen, ensuring that artistic endeavors do not compromise personal connections.
