Kris Bernal reveals how she manages to act out her two characters in one scene for “Impostora”

Kris Bernal is playing dual roles in GMA7’s top-rating afternoon drama series “Impostora”. She plays Nimfa and Rosette. The two characters aren’t related to each other – one is just a “replica” of another by cosmetic surgery.

Playing dual roles on television isn’t something new on Pinoy TV. Claudine Barretto, for example, has done three characters (triplets) in the late 90s ABS-CBN soap “Saan Ka Man Naroroon”.

On Instagram, Kris shared videos of her while taping for the series. It shows her two characters in one scene as if they are talking to each other but literally, Kris is talking to no one – not even a double.

According to her, one scene of confrontation takes more than an hour.

“Sa mga nagtatanong: Paano naghaharap si Nimfa at Rosette? One scene of confrontation takes more than an hour. At sa totoo lang, wala akong kausap o ka-eksena. Puro imagination lang. Bawal umalis sa pwesto! Steady lang para sa framing.”

In another video, Kris is talking yet again to herself – this time a little violence was added to the scene where Rosette is hitting Nimfa with a belt. Ouch!

“Malapit na talaga akong maging bipolar. Just kidding!”, she wrote in the captopn.

Props to this woman who was able to pull it off.
