MANILA -- For years, Angelica Hart embodied Vivamax’s brand of bold, unfiltered storytelling — her name synonymous with the platform’s most talked-about films including &quot;Sip,&quot; &quot;Salitan,&quot; &quot;Isang Gabi,&quot; &quot;Mahal Ko Ang Mahal Mo,&quot; &quot;Package Deal,&quot; &quot;Butas,&quot; &quot;Pin/Ya,&quot; and &quot;Victoria&#x27;s Silver.&quot;Although she showcased remarkable acting talent — honed through her past involvement in theater — the sexy outfits, steamy scenes, and skin-baring often overshadowed her artistry.Now, the actress who once captivated audiences with her sensual performances is shedding those labels, choosing instead to redefine herself through roles that emphasize her craft over her curves.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761535426708image0 (5).jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Angelica Hart encourages women to embrace who they really are. Josh MercadoThe Viva artist, who was first discovered by a former director of &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime,&quot; is currently embarking on a new adventure, doing roles that don&#x27;t depend on her sex appeal.</div>“Yes! I am living in a new era. I&#x27;ve officially left Vivamax and joined Viva One after considering my personal thoughts and my grandmother&#x27;s request,” she declared.Acknowledging that Vivamax had been a useful stepping stone, she said, “Sa totoo lang po, bago pa lang ako sumabak sa sexy movies ay nasa puso ko na talaga ‘yung wholesome image. Pero naging stepping stone ko po talaga ang Vivamax.”“To be clear, though, I was never coerced into playing sexy roles in the past. It was a time in my life when I learned a lot, particularly about my career. For placing me on that platform, I am thankful to Boss Vic del Rosario,” she added.The Filipina actress also reflected on what she learned from working in a genre often followed by male audiences, while confirming her relationship with actor Andrew Muhlach.“I had no idea I had such confidence. I was able to display my skin, which wasn&#x27;t in the best form at the moment. I&#x27;m glad to have been a sexy star once, even though some people despise them,” she told ABS-CBN News.“I now hope that I will portray the roles that are coming up well. I can still wear what I want while concentrating on my acting career. I can feel good about myself and still be sexy,” she added.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761535443205image1 (1).jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-dragging"/>Angelica Hart encourages women to embrace who they really are. Josh Mercado</div>Her advice to young women who have been criticized by society for being &quot;too sexy&quot;: “No one should dictate what we women should wear. The days when women had to behave and dress a certain way are long gone. These days, we celebrate all kinds of women.”Additionally, Hart revealed that although she had days when her mental health wasn&#x27;t good, the show had to go on, not ignoring her emotional state but having the guts to face every day head-on.&#x27;“It&#x27;s important that I express my feelings. What I do is go to the gym, eat healthily, and surround myself with positive people. Despite our hectic schedules, it is important that we take care of our overall health,” she noted.Looking ahead to her bright future, Hart stated that she takes acting seriously, studying and watching her idols. Her boyfriend, who is also an artist, and her family motivate her every day.“Ang wish ko sa career ko ay maging smooth at ma-guide ako ni Lord sa bago kong tinatahak na landas at maging successful sa lahat ng gagawin ko po,” she ended.
