JAKARTA - Asri Welas shared his experience while filming the series Ratu-Queen Queens in the United States. He returned to play Biyah's character in the series directed by Lucky Kuswandi.

"I'm really cool but I'm not really. I might be really cool, I like it, I say anything but I don't have a purpose in life," said Asri Welas at a press conference in South Jakarta on Friday, September 12.

"If I'm clear, so I imagine that Biyah is confused because she doesn't have a purpose and doesn't care about life. Anyway, work doesn't use the brain," he continued.

The character Biyah in the Queen-Queen Queens series is told of odd jobs to fulfill her debt. In the trailer, Asri Welas looks willing to be painted green like the Statue of Liberty.

"I'm 2x Times Square blocked just for Asri welas. I feel Angelina Jolie. (People) look curious, it's just me being the Statue of Liberty," he said.

He even said that not a few thought he was a beggar, not to mention that some police had kicked him out of the shooting location.

"I also got 5 dollars, 2 dollars at that time the producer and the director went to the set. That's how there were police who didn't know we were filming, so he had said, 'You can't stand here', it turns out that there are already tools there,' said Asri Welas.

"I really didn't want to be with the mothers there until I was invited to be literate. What has been there for decades felt about the struggle and was described by Palari and Netflix. So this is a picture of women struggling," he said.

The Queen-Queen Queens series can be watched on Netflix starting Friday, September 12
