Anne Curtis: 'It's time to have a series about mental health'

Anne Curtis has admitted that it took her a while to agree to the project 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay,' explaining that she hadn't been acting for a while.

- 

'Ang tagal ko ng hindi umaarte. (I haven't acted in a while.) So there were a lot of jitters, especially on the first day. Grabe talaga yung kaba ko. (I was nervous),' Anne said during the media conference for the upcoming series 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay' held recently at the Seda Hotel in Quezon City.

The last time Anne appeared in a movie and television series was in 2019. Anne said she was proud of her latest TV project that deals with mental health issues.

"It's time to have a series that educates us about mental health, or be with someone who is going through a mental health issue. This will help you through the journey. If you know someone who is going through it, you will be able to help," said Anne.

She also shared the differences between the original and the Filipino versions of the popular series.

'To those who have seen it, it's the same story. We have given it a Filipino taste. We have added new characters to make it our own. So that's something to look forward to.

'But to those who haven't seen it yet, this is a universal story that everyone can relate to. It's a healing story and a beautiful journey about love," Anne said.

Joshua Garcia said he could relate to his character in the series.
