Cover Girl Bea Alonzo: Good Girl Gone BOLD

From her film and television roles alone, Bea Alonzo, 21, is the prototype of a girl “good enough to bring home to mommy.” She has been an architect, a law student, and most recently, a young widow—roles that now bear her trademark of goodness.

Off-screen, she’s the same sweet, giggling girl who gets along with everyone. Barely a few minutes after she arrived for the Cosmo cover shoot, Bea started warming up to the team, cracking jokes with our makeup artist and hair stylist. With her striking Eurasian features and a cheerful voice that was slightly dampened by a cold that day, it was easy to get lost in her chatter. This, after all, is the same sweetheart whose diva-ism record remains spotless.

And yet, Bea is not afraid to tell Cosmo about her recent epiphany: that she, just like any other person, has come to terms with the fact that she can’t always be all right—and be completely honest about it. “I’ve always been so okay with everything. Wala akong regrets kasi I see the positive side of things,” she admits. “Ngayon nasasabi ko na for example, ‘I’m sad, and I’m not scared to admit it. I’m only human.’”

But this is not to say we can expect to hear Bea whining from this point on. (We didn’t even hear her complain about her cold that day.) The young actress, who makes it a point to be like her idol Maricel Soriano, is much more focused on developing her skills as a serious actress, despite the many praises already heaped upon her.

Her latest work, And I Love You So, with Derek Ramsay and Sam Milby, is just one of the many outlets where Bea truly shows her depth as a young actress. Again, she plays a woman older than she is and whose life is already marked by tragedy, with the untimely death of her husband (Ramsay). And as if that is not enough, she deals with her confused emotions when a new man (Milby) comes into her life.

After coming out of such a heavy role, we're curious how the young actress keeps her own emotions in check. In Cosmo.ph’s exclusive interview, discover a more candid, laid-back Bea who fearlessly talks about getting over her own fears, staying true to herself, and quickly moving on.
