LOS ANGELES — Glowing from Hollywood’s warm reception and rave reviews of her breakout performance in "Lisa Frankenstein," actress Liza Soberano attended the film's Hollywood premiere on Monday.

Even though it’s her first time doing red-carpet interviews for her own movie in Hollywood, Soberano gamely tackled her interviews with the Hollywood press like a pro.

"Sobrang na-overwhelm po ako kasi hindi ko in-expect na maraming, I don’t know, makakapansin kaagad sa akin. I play a supporting character, obviously, in 'Liza Frankenstein' and it’s just so overwhelming to hear that people really love my character and they really love the comedic timing that I bring to the story and everything," Soberano said.

"So I'm very touched because I really enjoyed the process of making the film and I'm really just grateful that everybody appreciates that," she added.

With characteristic humility, Soberano said she initially couldn’t believe that the film’s director, Zelda Williams, herself would convince and champion her to be in her film.

"Ang nangyari, we were at dinner and sabi niya sa 'kin kaka-greenlight lang ng project 'Lisa Frankenstein' at binaggit n'ya na merong isang character na hindi pa naka-cast. So sabi n'ya, ‘Try mo kaya mag-audition.’ Tapos ako parang ang reaction ko kasi first time pa lang naming mag-meet so parang, 'Talaga? ako? Bakit, anong ginawa ko?’" Soberano said.

"That's what came to mind. But she was like, ‘Even before meeting you, I've seen your filmography and I've seen your capabilities and I really think that you would fit the role perfectly.’ And so eventually I auditioned for it and I'm so lucky that I got it," she added.

Soberano is grateful for the training and experience that she received in the Philippines where her career started.

"I'm sure that everything that I learned, technical and just like on a social level in showbiz, has prepared me for Hollywood or being here, you know. All of those lessons and learnings that I brought, I was able to use that here," Soberano said.

"And so that's why I'm always so grateful for the career and and the people that I met in my career in the Philippines, and I'm happy because a lot of them are still here rooting for me," she added.

Soberano shared that she is constantly auditioning in Hollywood and has already a project lined up in development.

Despite the stormy weather in Los Angeles, the film’s team came in full force to the premiere including lead stars Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse, director Zelda Williams, and writer Diablo Cody.

“Lisa Frankenstein” will be shown in the Philippines starting February 7 and in the US on February 9.
