Listen Later

Pinch me, I’m dreaming, it’s Dolly de Leon! Get to know the Triangle of Sadness breakout star like you’ve never known her before in our candid and revealing chat. Behind her Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations, LA Critics’ Best Supporting Performance award, "30 of the World's Most Famous Stars” citation by British Vogue, and other accolades is the story of “a struggling, angry, bitter, desperate actor trying to support her family of four kids, saying yes to every job but never hating it and never complaining about it.”


Dolly shares how she overcame the most trying moments in her life and what kept her going and believing—because it would take 33 years of playing nameless and line-less characters in movies before she would finally get her first lead role in local mainstream cinema in A Very Good Girl opposite Kathryn Bernardo, and even more Hollywood productions such as Grand Death Lotto with Awkwafina, Simu Liu, and John Cena; Between the Temples with Jason Schwartzman and 9 Perfect Strangers with Nicole Kidman.


Most important of all, now that she has a louder voice and a global platform, Dolly speaks about advocating for social justice in her industry and country, as well as the importance of kindness and generosity in making the world a better place. You cannot miss this episode!
