Kelley Day shares desire to explore more challenging acting roles

In a recent exclusive interview with ABS-CBN, actress and model Kelley Day opened up about her aspirations to take on more demanding and meaningful roles in her acting career. Known for her beauty and polished image, Kelley expressed that she now wants to go beyond being cast in ‘sosyal’ or glamorous characters. She shared that she hopes to challenge herself with more complex portrayals that reveal emotional depth, vulnerability, and realism. Kelley, who recently worked on a new project under the direction of veteran filmmaker Joel Lamangan for Sinag Maynila, said that collaborating with industry veterans inspires her to grow from each role she performs. She mentioned wanting to explore different genres, including drama and even socially relevant films, to find characters that can touch people’s hearts and reflect authentic Filipino experiences. The actress believes that taking on harder roles is not only a way to prove herself as a serious actress but also to show that beauty should not define a person’s worth or talent. This fresh direction in her career suggests Kelley’s commitment to artistic growth and to representing a broader range of women in Philippine cinema.
