Evelyn Tan, who just acted in her first Mediacorp drama in 24 years, reveals which of her kids wants to join showbusiness

Evely n’s husband, Darren, who worked with the executive producer on a previous show, recommended her for the role in Moments.

” My name was mentioned, and he suggested that I might be suited for the role, and it might be a good idea for me because the audience has n’t seen me in a while.” Most importantly, it was n’t going to be a big role, and that was what caught my attention: That it was n’t going to take too much time away from my family”, explained Evelyn.

She continued:” In the past, when it came to acting, I often found it so hard to weep on demand. However, I’m happy to report that despite not having been honed my speaking abilities, I still felt like I could relate to the part I was playing, perhaps as a result of my life experiences.

” And after becoming a grandmother, I’ve experienced a wider range of emotions. I let those emotions lead me, and (tears ) came very naturally. People on set were telling me they could actually feel my thoughts when I was in character, and grief were flowing.

Despite being satisfied with her performance, Evelyn” ca n’t say for sure “if she’s returning to acting for good. Otherwise, she describes it as more of a” opportunity”.

We all know that hollywood is all about new faces, and functions for older artists may be more limited, so I dare not ask for like roles any longer. There’s this feeling of realization, but so what? Will I receive all the prospects I sought in the past? Even no,” she explained.

” I’m being very practical here and I do n’t think there’s anything wrong admitting that. In this area, the possibilities are there for fresh artistes. It was a pleasure for me to take part in this generation, but I’m also trying to manage my own objectives. If there are opportunities that come down, then that’s nice,” said Evelyn.

She also told us that her family was very supportive, particularly her daughter, Kristen, who is also looking to pursue a job in showbusiness.

” My kids were like’ Definitely! ‘. I believe they did not grow up watching me on television because I was with them the entire day, so they were very excited. It was n’t only father, now it’s mum when also,” she chuckled.
