Andrea Brillantes recently sparked online buzz after playfully comparing herself to Marian Rivera in a lighthearted comment that had fans and followers talking. The young actress joked about how she and the iconic Marian have something in common—being labeled as “stealers.”
In a recent interview, Andrea laughed off the comparison, saying, “Like Marian Rivera, people love to call me a ‘mang-aagaw’ (stealer). But honestly, I take it as a compliment because Marian is a queen, and if I’m being compared to her, then I must be doing something right!”
Her statement was met with mixed reactions. Some fans found her remarks amusing and appreciated her humor, while others were quick to point out that both actresses have faced their fair share of controversies over the years.
Andrea clarified that her comment was meant in jest and not to stir any drama. “I admire Marian so much. She’s an icon, and if there’s one thing I’d love to ‘steal’ from her, it’s her grace and talent,” she said.
Marian, known for her poise and confidence, has yet to respond to Andrea’s playful remark. Fans of both stars, however, are eager to see how the lighthearted comparison plays out. Whether in jest or admiration, the young actress’s words remind everyone of Marian’s lasting influence in the industry.
