Actress Julia Barretto admired individuals who could read minds or sense different energies. 

Julia highlighted her deep respect for those who can intuitively grasp the thoughts and emotions of others. She acknowledged the fascinating skill of perceiving unspoken feelings and energies, which can significantly influence interpersonal connections.

During a media conference for the upcoming movie "Hold Me Close" at Viva Cafe in Araneta City, Julia shared a forecast that left a significant impression on her.

"I've met some people who claim to be an energy or palm reader. I am open to it, although I am a religious person. Maka-Diyos akong tao. Above everything else is my faith. I have the utmost respect for them.

"I don't think may recent ako na reading or forecast pero in the past, ang tumatak talaga sa akin is nangyari sa Cebu, a decade na yata. 

"My mom and I we're together. Sinasabi ng reader in my past life, best friends daw talaga kami ng mommy ko and I believe in that. My mom and I have a special bond. Kaya pala because we were best friends in our past lives," recalled Julia.

The girlfriend of actor Gerald Anderson hopes to receive a forecast about her lifetime partner. "Maybe I'll give it a try soon."

Julia is set to make waves again as she returns to the big screen with ‘Hold Me Close,’ Viva Films’ official entry to the 50^th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). 

The romantic-fantasy film marks Julia's second collaboration with Carlo Aquino and director Jason Paul Laxamana, and fans are excited to see her take on the role of Lynlyn, a clairvoyant girl. 

Not only is this Julia’s much-anticipated return to MMFF after her 2016 appearance in ‘Vince and Kath and James,’ but it also signals a fresh chapter in her already illustrious film career. 

Filmed in Japan, audiences can catch ‘Hold Me Close’ this Dec. 25 in cinemas nationwide.

Asked about how the MMFF project came about, Julia said: "We have a group chat for the cast of 'Expensive Candy' that's been going for three years. Biglang nagparamdam si direk (Jason Paul Laxamana) ng what's the next? Right away, Caloy (Carlo Aquino) and I were on board. 

"So we're excited to be in Direk Jason's mind: no story, material, or script. We just knew he wanted to do a reunion project, and we were on board. It took him a while to write the entire script. 

"Caloy told Direk that he hoped to do a project similar to 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' So, Direk Jason got the inspiration for that movie. 

"And then tuloy-tuloy na. We didn't know the movie was submitted for the Metro Manila Film Festival. It's a beautiful film about trying to erase memories pero may underlying message naman yung movie. That's how it came about. So, at some point, we will do something together," said Julia.
