| | Is Eugene Domingo ready to become the next comedy box office queen? Author: Rachelle Siazon Eugene Domingo could hardly contain her excitement about having her first starring role in the movie Kimmydora: Kambal Sa Kiyeme. The comedienne, who frequently plays the sidekick and comic relief in various soaps and mainstream films, will take the lead in a film to be produced by Piolo Pascual. Aside from being backed up by the ultimate heartthrob, Eugene stressed that she also has the support of fellow comediennes Ai-Ai de las Alas and Pokwang. " Dahil siguro nagkasama kami [ni Piolo] ng labas sa trabaho, so yung pagtitinginan namin parang magkapatid. At saka with Pokey at Ai-Ai nararamdaman ko yung suporta nila sa akin. Ganun din sa lahat ng artista na pumayag sumali dito sa movie like Ms. Regine Velasquez at meron pang isang surprise na hindi ko muna sasabihin-isang malaking malaking tao na nagpapasalamat ako na nakasali siya dito," she said in an interview with ABS-CBN reporters last Tuesday night, June 7. Playing the dual roles of Kimmy and Dora-well-off twins who are vying to be the successor of their family business, the Dodonghei Group of Companies-is definitely no mean feat according to Eugene. " Mahirap kung hindi ako sinusuportahan o gina-guide, pero sa tulong ni Direk Joyce Bernal a t sa sinulat na magandang script ni Cris Martinez, masarap na masarap gawin. I am inspired everyday, every sequence... Lahat ng challenge siguro bilang artista sa pagkakataong ito ay nararanasan ko na, tulad ng acting with animals (with Kimmy's pet dog), acting twice kasi nga doble ko gagawin yung character, and of course yung challenge na kunyari wala ako nararamdaman pero meron para kay Dingdong Dantes," she exclaimed with a laugh. With Dingdong as her leading man and Piolo as her producer, Eugene said that she can't really ask for anything more. She even has a kissing scene with Dingdong. " Oo, kahit naman wala gusto ko meron! Our kiss is going to be passionate, long lasting, and sanitized. Kaya lang hindi ko pa nagagawa. Talagang hinuhuli ata yung eksenang yun, kung hanggang kailan ko kayang maghintay. Pero siguradong hindi yun matatanggal sa eksena!" Eugene further shared how she's preparing herself for that momentous scene. " Ayun na nga. Araw-araw akong nagpro-prophylaxis, panipis ng panipis na ang ngipin ko. Hindi rin ako umiinom at kumakain ng mga makabubulok ng aking laman loob na siyang maglalabas ng mabahong hininga," she joked amid bursts of laughter. Another highlight of Kimmydora would be Eugene wearing a sexy one-piece swimsuit in a scene that Direk Joyce is going to re-shoot after encountering some technical problems. " Nasira ang camera! Hindi ako nagbibiro. Hindi ko nga maintindihan kung bakit! Nakakainis 'di ba? Siguro nung naka-bathing suit ako, pag-zoom ng camera, nasira. Kasi parang, 'Ano itong nakikita namin?" Masakit pero kesya naman umarte pa ako na hindi ire-shoot. Sayang naman kasi nagpagawa ako ng magandang-magandang bathing suit para lang dun," she revealed. There is no doubt then that this project is the chance of a lifetime for Eugene to showcase her natural gift of gab. " Yun nga ang tinatanong ko sa Diyos, kung bakit ito nangyayari sa akin. Siguro mensahe ito sa lahat ng Pilipino na huwag kayo mawalan ng pag-asa. Kung nangyari sa akin baka mangyari din sa inyo. Hindi naman kailangan ang leading lady laging saksakan ng ganda. Pwede naman yung parang maganda kapag naayusan, so okay na yun. Tsaka meron naman siguro tayong tinatawag na pelikulang mga fantasy. Ito na siguro yun," she cheerfully added.
