Julia Barretto opens up about the pressure she feels for having her last name on her recent Instagram post
Kapamilya actress Julia Barretto has a prominent last name when it comes to showbiz clans.
Behind the privilege of being a “Barretto”, she felt pressured about it with the thought the she has a bigger shoe to fill in.
Based on an article published in Inquirer, the ‘I Love You, Hater’ actress wrote an open letter for her followers to understand the deeper side of her.
Since she is the daughter of Marjorie Barretto and the niece of Gretchen and Claudine, she felt that people are judging talent to be in the entertainment industry.
According to her, there are people who express doubt to her and there are those who treated her with scrutiny.
“In my whole journey as an actress, more often I was doubted, I was judged, I had to deal with scrutiny from people who did not know me, who made me suffer the consequences of the mistakes I did not commit and people did not give me a chance,” Julia shared.
This pressure she felt was due to the simple fact that her last name is Barretto with family members have their respective achievements in the industry.
She wanted to point out to the whole world that she loves what she does and she is a passionate actress.
”I’ve always wanted to prove myself. I’ve always wanted to prove my doubters wrong. I’ve always wanted to be more than my last name,” she stated her point.
Julia also wanted to be noticed and recognized because of her talent and passion and not just because she is a Barretto.
With her latest movie with rumored boyfriend and love team partner Joshua Garcia and Kris Aquino, Julia related her personality to the character she portrayed.
She said that she showed who the real Julia is through her role Zoey, based on the article.
