Filipino actor Derek Ramsay talks The Better Woman

Transcript

00:00My character's name is Andrew. He's a surfer slash bar owner who's very much in love with

00:08his wife. Very loyal, very good husband, very laid back and all he wants is to start a family

00:17with his loving wife which is Jasmine played by Andrea Torres. The whole story becomes

00:23very complex when we find out that my wife Jasmine has an identical twin named Juliette

00:31who grew up the complete opposite of the way Jasmine grew up who was pampered.

00:37She had everything in life. Juliette had it hard in life. Jasmine has this beautiful life,

00:44has this husband who's so loving and she wants that and she's going to try and take me away

00:51from my wife. Actually very, very similar. They're both outdoors people. They both love the beach.

00:56They're both into commitment, loyalty. Andrea has to play two roles. Even though I'm just

01:03playing one character it feels like I'm playing two roles, two characters because I'm with my

01:11wife and then I cheat on her accidentally with the sister but I thought it was my wife.

01:23So it is really hard. The story gets really complicated and I wish this never happens

01:29to me in real life. You know that's a funny thing because with all my past projects

01:36I develop chemistry with my leading ladies by getting to know them, getting to hang out with

01:42them before we actually start the project but with Andrea I sent her a message through

01:48Instagram saying I look forward to working with you and she sent me a message back

01:52and when I met her on the set it's like we've known each other. Yeah we've known each other

01:58for the longest time and that registered on the camera because the direct was screaming,

02:02everybody else there was screaming. It's not like the other projects I've done where I made

02:06an effort to make my leading lady comfortable here. It's like we're just so comfortable with

02:11each other.
