Young actress Xyriel Manabat admitted that she feels back pains because of her big breasts and admits to admiring women who are flat-chested.
Manabat made the revelation in an interview with Ogie Diaz on his YouTube channel posted recently.
“Sa totoong buhay po, masakit sa likod. Totoo po ‘yung back pain, tapos nakukuba ka po talaga, tapos ang hirap pong humanap ng matinong posisyon, mahirap po talaga siya,” Xyriel said when asked by Ogie if having big breasts is not a burden to her. (In real life, it is painful at the back. Back pain is real, then you become like a hunchback, then it’s hard to find the right position, it’s really hard).
While she acknowledges that having big breasts is a dream for many women, Manabat reveals that she gets attracted to women with flat chests.
“And naiintindihan ko naman po ‘yung iba na dream nila ang ganito kasi ako po personally, sobrang attracted ko po sa mga babaeng flat-chested kasi ang ganda nila damitan. Kumbaga, kahit malaki, masikip kapag isinuot sa kanila ang ganda. Well, ewan ko po, ‘yun lang po ‘yung perspective ko,” she said. (And I understand that others dream of this [having big breasts], but personally I am attracted to women who are flat-chested because it is beautiful to dress them up. Even with big, tight outfits, when they’re dressed up it’s beautiful. Well, I don’t know, it’s just my perspective.)
Diaz made her choose between having big breasts and having a flat chest. Manabat chose the latter, rattling off reasons for her choice.
“Mas less wardrobe malfunction. Hindi po dahil sa attention or sa pagiging sexy ibabase, ‘yung practicality. Wardrobe malfunction, body pains. Struggle po siya, eh. Hindi ko naman po siya ikinakahiya, inaayawan,” she said. (It’s less wardrobe malfunction. It’s not having the attention or being sexy that it should be based on, it’s practicality. [Although] I am not ashamed of it, not disliking it).
Manabat feels that she will be more proportional size-wise if she’s a bit taller.
“Feeling ko mas matangkad ako, magiging proportion po siya. Hindi po siya magmumukhang sobrang laki. Feeling ko kaya siya nagmumukhang super laki, eh, super liit ko rin po kaya ‘yun ‘yung nae-emphasize. Tapos ang liit din po ng iba kong features,” she said. (I feel that if were taller, [the breasts] would look more proportional. It will not look like it’s too big. Fact is, I am super small, so [it’s the breasts] that are emphasized. And then my other features are small). /ra
