Heart Evangelista reveals she almost got a Hollywood film stint

Actress Heart Evangelista recently revealed that she almost got a part on the anticipated Hollywood flick “Crazy Rich Asians”.

Evangelista did not reveal which role she auditioned for but said in an exclusive interview with GMA that she “almost got the part”.

“I actually auditioned for Crazy Rich Asians. That’s my little secret. I almost got the part actually,” she said.

Evangelista added that it was Kevin Kwan himself, the author of the Crazy Rich Asians book, who told her that she almost bagged the role she auditioned for.

It can be recalled that the Kapuso actress flew to Paris, France earlier this month to attend fashion shows and spend some time with Kwan.

Evangelista also revealed that she met Kwan when the latter promoted his book in the Philippines. Kwan was also the one who personally invited her to attend Paris Fashion Week after the author saw her painted handbags.

“I met him when he went to the Philippines for his promotion of the book. We got along. The next time, I remember, he wrote about my painted bags for the New York Times. Nagulat ako na naalala niya ako.

“I got a call from him [asking] if I was attending Paris Fashion Week because he had something for me in Paris. We were going to shoot something very special. Nagulat ako that he messaged me,” she narrated.

During her time in Paris, Evangelista also shot an international campaign with a French designer bag label.

When asked to elaborate about her “Crazy Rich Asians” audition, the actress said: “I’m shy. But I made sure na in case na ma-leak yung audition tape ko, hindi nakakahiya. I hired a crew. Tineyp ko siya like a telenovela.”
