Marian Rivera candidly opened up about her personal insecurities.

In an interview with Karen Davila, the actress recalled feeling insecure about her height during her pageant days. "Before 'pag sumasali ako ng pageant palaging ako 'yung pinakamaliit," she recounted.

She also admitted that she gets conscious about her hips. "Minsan kasi feeling ko pagnaka-dress ako feeling ko sobrang laki ng balakang ko sabi ko, hello Spanish blood," she said.

Marian also admitted that speaking in English has been an insecurity, especially when she moved to Manila.

"Siguro 'yung pagsasalita ng English kasi very big deal 'yan sa atin ngayon eh. Pero kasi ako hindi naging problema sa akin 'yun eh, kasi sa Cavite parang hindi naman kami English-speaking dun. Kahit naman sa school namin hindi naman nagi-English lahat. Nung nagpunta lang ako sa Maynila, parang you need to be fluent in English, and we have interview," she said.

She shared that she feels most comfortable expressing herself in Tagalog and is thankful for her husband, actor Dingdong Dantes, for being supportive and understanding.

"Actually minsan si Dong 'pag naguusap kaming dalawa, parang nasasabi ko 'yan sa kanya. Alam mo kaya sobrang love ko 'tong asawa ko, sabi niya, 'No, mahal ka namin bilang ikaw, hindi mo kayang baguhin.' But you can improve yourself if you really want to be fluent in English," she relayed.

Marian added that while she is open to trying, she is content with her current ability. "Parang okay na ako na ganito ako kasi ito talaga 'yung komportable ako," she highlighted.  

Marian shared that her daughter, Zia, makes up for what she considers her own weakness.

"Sabi ko nga sa anak ko, anak 'yung weakness ko ikaw na sumalo. Kasi 'yung anak ko grabe as in super fluent in English with British accent, as in grabe. [Sabi niya], 'Just put my things in the bin.' [Tanong ko], 'Anong bin?' 'Yun pala cabin. Oh my god Zia, ang dami kong natututunan sa anak ko, as in," she relayed.
