As the “Pinoy Big Brother Collab Edition 2.0” housemates continued to confront the "multos" of their past, Caprice Cayetano bravely opened up about what she called her “pandemic breakout,” a phase about the insecurities she struggled with as a former child star navigating adolescence.
Caprice shared that she was only four years old when a neighbor invited her to join acting workshops, mainly to help her find new friends and playmates, but a year later, she found herself fully immersed in the world of acting, eventually becoming a familiar face in teleseryes. Before her big comeback as a teen actress, however, Caprice went through an “awkward stage,” which a lot of child stars can relate to. It's that tricky period where it becomes hard to find roles as their appearance no longer fits the roles they once played, made even more difficult by the physical changes that come with puberty. She recalled gaining weight and dealing with breakouts, which chipped away at her confidence.
Her self-esteem took such a hit that she no longer wanted to take photos, and if she ever did, she would always wear a face mask just to hide the parts of herself she was insecure about. Thankfully, her mom helped her regain her confidence by reminding her that she was just like a caterpillar going through a transformation, and that she would bloom into a beautiful butterfly one day.
Now, Caprice’s confidence has fully returned, and along with it came a valuable lesson that no matter how tough things get, there’s always a bright side waiting to be seen. Her story ended on a playful note when Lella teased that, according to Lee Victor, Caprice is actually the “cutest” among the housemates, earning cheers from their new 'shippers.'
Stay tuned to see what challenge Big Brother has in store for the housemates in the next episodes of “PBB Collab 2.0” which can be viewed online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and iWant.
