Camille Prats says she initially didn't want to do viral sword fight scene in 'Mommy Dearest'

Camille Prats and Katrina Halili's sword fight in 'Mommy Dearest" went viral on the internet, but Camille admitted that she was initially hesitant to do the scene. In Tuesday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' the Kapuso actress shared that she did not want to do it because she did not understand the need for it. 'I said it, why do we need to do this scene? I feel like hindi naman siya kailangan talaga sa away namin,' Camille shared. However, she added that the production team explained to them that the scene was an effort to make viewers talk about 'Mommy Dearest." 'They explained to me na it's an effort talaga, 'yung scene na 'yon is really created para mapag-usapan siya,' Camille said . 'Kasi ako gusto ko magkaroon ng parang anong pinanggagalingan ko in my character for me to do this. I also want to take into consideration as an audience. How will the audience take this?' According to Camille, she reflected on her character Olive's internal turmoil to do the scene. 'Tapos parang na-realize ko na lang na siguro si Olive naman sa sobrang cuckoo 'di ba? She will do whatever. Sabi ko sige 'yon na lang magiging motivation ko bilang si Olive naman eh talagang may something sa isip. Mukhang wala naman siyang aatrasan talaga, so let's do it,' she said, adding that they had to ask some of the production staff to leave so they could avoid laughing while doing the scene. She playfully shared that due to the sword fight scene, some people have taken to calling her Olive-Wan Kenobi, a reference to the 'Star Wars' character Obi-Wan Kenobi. The viral sword fight not only had netizens in stitches but Ryza Cenon as well, who posted a hilarious reaction to the scene. 'Mommy Dearest' follows the life of Mookie (Shayne Sava) who tries to navigate life despite her serious illnesses since childhood. However, her overprotective mother, Olive (Camille), refrains her from going out and discovering the world, making Mookie seem like a prisoner in their own home. Aside from Camille, Katrina and Shayne, the series also stars Winwyn Marquez, Dion Ignacio, and Amy Austria, among others. 'Mommy Dearest' airs weekdays at 3:20 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime. —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News
