Entertainment columnist Ogie Diaz announced that popular actress and TV host Anne Curtis left noontime program “It’s Showtime” to pursue a career in Hollywood.
Diaz said Curtis was chosen to do a “full-length” role after being eyed by a Hollywood casting director. He did not reveal the source of his information.
The actress said she is leaving the country to “pursue her dream.” She did not give further details.
“It’s something to do with pursuing my dream. It’s a new chapter in my life, something that’s challenging. I just really, really want to do it,” she added.
Meanwhile, Curtis assured her fans that she will be coming back. “Babalik ako, may teleserye pa akong tatapusin, may pelikula pa akong tatapusin. (I have to return. I have to finish a film and a television series.) I really have to come back, may contrata ako so kailangan kong bumalik,” she said.
“I feel so humbled by all the blessings, and this episode in my life may be the biggest [realized dream] of all because it’s one I never thought would ever come true because I’m not the best actress in the world but [I’m] sure it will be the best performance I can give,” Anne declared enthusiastically.
Born on February 17, 1985 in Victoria, Australia, Anne Curtis is a blend of Filipino, Spanish, Australian and British ancestry. She is the eldest daughter of Carmen Ojales and James Curtis Smith, an Australian Lawyer.
