00:00What about the boys?

00:07The boys?

00:08I mean, the boys of our lives.

00:10The boys, I mean, boyfriends, crushes.

00:14In school, for example.

00:16Until college, I was forbidden.

00:18I was forbidden to have a boyfriend.

00:20But of course, when I was in college,

00:22my head was hard, I was a bit far away,

00:24I had a boyfriend, and...

00:26But you hid it.

00:27But I hid it, yes.

00:29Okay.

00:30How did you...

00:31How did you make your mom fall in love with you?

00:35Because I can imagine,

00:36I can imagine that kind of a life, right?

00:38I was in a condo when I was in college.

00:40That's why I was more...

00:42Sorry, mommy.

00:43She's watching this.

00:44Sure.

00:45But of course, I hid it from her.

00:47No, it's not because you're not grateful

00:48for all the things that your mom did.

00:50No.

00:51It's just a story,

00:52because the outcome is beautiful.

00:55And I do believe I'm strong-minded.

00:57And it's all because of

00:58the values.

00:59How did it happen?

01:00It's all because of the values

01:01that they instilled in me.

01:03Like my dad.

01:04He's like...

01:05My dad thinks that you should be the leader.

01:07You should be like this.

01:08You shouldn't be the one influencing your friends.

01:10You should be the one influencing your friends.

01:12That's his mindset.

01:13So I grew up...

01:14Sometimes, the cons,

01:16I grew up feeling like

01:18I'm not doing...

01:19Like I need to prove more.

01:21That's also the downside of it, maybe.

01:24I get you.

01:25Because I'm restless.

01:27Did you have enough pain and failure

01:30to prepare yourself for life?

01:32Because it's so protective, right?

01:34Yes.

01:35I don't want my son to be jealous.

01:36I don't want my son to cry.

01:37I don't want my son to be hurt.

01:39And by doing so,

01:40we know, or we knew that

01:42they were coming from a space of love.

01:44But your experience was reduced.

01:46It wasn't reduced.

01:47I mean, it's a question.

01:48Didn't your experience reduce

01:50that you didn't really know

01:52what to do

01:54if you're about to cry or get hurt?

01:57Yes.

01:58Well,

02:00like when I did Starstruck,

02:02I wasn't that expressive.

02:04I wasn't...

02:05Actually, I just learned in our industry

02:08that you have to be vulnerable.

02:10You have to show emotions.

02:12That's all.

02:13That's all I appreciated.

02:14Because growing up,

02:15I just...

02:16I couldn't.

02:17It's like...

02:18I was raised to be strong.

02:22Whatever happens,

02:23you have to fight.

02:24Yes.

02:25You can't show weakness.

02:26Yes.

02:27And I'm very grateful

02:28because I like how I grew up.

02:31I like me.

02:33I like my values.

02:35I like my principles.

02:37And all of that came from my parents.

02:39And you were able to pivot.

02:40You said that

02:42Starstruck was also a turning point.

02:44Yes.

02:45Right?

02:46But let me go back.

02:47Because you mentioned Starstruck.

02:49When you look back,

02:51what was the conversation between you and mom?

02:53Did she like the idea

02:54that you were coming into a business

02:56that was so public and,

02:59in quotes,

03:00dangerous?

03:02They were all surprised.

03:03But they didn't...

03:05They didn't force me to do it.

03:09No.

03:10They supported me.

03:22I love you.

03:23I love you too.

03:51I love you too.

04:22Hey!

04:26Hey!
