So did she “enjoy” it? “Actually, ‘pag nag-roll ang camera hindi na ako si Marian Rivera, ako na si Evelyn,” quipped Marian. “As Evelyn, inenjoy ko si Zack (Richard’s character),” she continued. As much as possible, Marian avoids doing very intimate kissing scenes with his leading men in TV series and films and she does not easily agree to doing bed scenes unless the story really calls for it.
