Alice Dixson recently shared her candid reflections on her early acting career, revealing that her tardiness on set led to friction with fellow actress Dina Bonnevie.
During an episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Dixson discussed how her youthful approach to acting lacked the seriousness it required. She admitted, 'I did it because it was fun; I didn't really treat it as work.'
Her late arrivals frustrated Bonnevie, whom she acknowledged did not like her at the time. 'You don't respect your colleague if you're always late,' Dixson noted, explaining that her social life often took precedence over her professional commitments.
A Turning Point in Dixson's Career
The actress described her carefree lifestyle in her teens, often prioritizing nights out and dancing, which contributed to her habitual lateness. However, her perspective changed in her twenties when she received a second chance in the industry.
That's when I realized I really love what I do; I love acting, let me give it the full love and professionalism and care that it should have.
