Posing as endorser for Bench Underwear is piece of cake for Ellen Adarna (who can be seen daily in Moon of Desire, the Kapamilya afternoon delight in which she co-stars with Meg Imperial and JC de Vera, plus a bunch of new actors).
What was more daring was when she jumped off a 40-foot cliff --- unhurt.
And how much more daring/baring can she be, perhaps for a movie?
“If the script is amazing,” said Ellen, “and it’s required for my character, I’ll do it since it’s part of my craft.” It’s a relief not to hear her mouth the usual cliché, for art’s sake.
Although she wasn’t able to fully prepare for her second Bench pictorial due to heavy work load, Ellen is in perfect shape (as you can see in this spread and on the Bench billboards around the metropolis).
“But I made a little effort in dieting,” she conceded. “For my launch campaign shoot that we did earlier this year, talagang intense work out with my personal trainer and no sodium and no-carbs diet ako.”
It helped that she knew the people (photographer and staff) she was working with.
“I was comfortable with them,” assured Ellen. “Everyone was nice and professional.”
An Arian (April 2, 1988), Ellen stands 5’1”; weighs 98 lbs., wears size-S/XS shirt and measures 33-25-33.
