JAKARTA - Professionalism in front of the camera is often influenced by the support of loved ones behind the scenes. However, each actress has a different way of involving her partner while working.
This is what was revealed in a heated chat between Maudy Ayunda and Anggun C. Sasmi.
On one occasion, the two shared stories about the presence of their husbands during the filming process. Interestingly, Maudy and Anggun apparently have different "mazhab" when it comes to being accompanied by their husbands on location.
For Maudy Ayunda, the presence of her husband, Jesse Choi, at the shooting location can be a distraction in itself. The Losmen Bu Broto film's actor admitted that he is a shy person and easily feels depressed when his actions are directly monitored by the closest people.
"If my husband, he came to the set so he was like giving mental support. But one of the reasons why he didn't attend the filming location was my own will. Because I have him, I become more self-conscious, I don't even concentrate," said Maudy Ayunda in Central Jakarta, Monday, March 9.
So secretive about the creative process, Maudy even refused to show her husband rehearsal footage or shooting progress. She wanted her husband to enjoy the end result as a complete surprise.
"So for him it was really fresh from scratch that this is what I've been working on. He was very impressed with the end result because during filming or prep, he wasn't told at all," he added.
Unlike Maudy, international diva Anggun C. Sasmi actually feels very helped by the presence of her husband, Christian Kretschmar, by her side. Considering that acting is a relatively new thing compared to her music career, Anggun needs a figure who can melt the atmosphere.
"If I am, my husband is the one who every time there is a job as heavy as this, it means it is completely different from my previous world. So if there is he will lighten the mood. For me, that's all," said Anggun.
Anggun considers her husband's presence on the set to be a crucial support system, especially when she has to get out of her comfort zone and face big challenges on the film set.
Hearing how sweet Anggun's husband's support is, who faithfully accompanies him on location, Maudy Ayunda can't hide her admiration and a bit of a joke.
"But actually while I was there I was jealous (iri) too because... wow, it looks so sweet, it's nice to be accompanied by my husband," concluded Maudy while laughing.
These two different styles show that both Maudy and Anggun have their own ways to stay professional: Maudy with a private space for maximum focus, and Anggun with direct emotional support to keep the mood.
