Is Derrick jealous of Ruru?
Kapuso hunk actor denied that there’s a brewing feud between him and Sherlock, Jr. star Ruru Madrid.
The rumors started when Madrid was given his major break as a lead in “Sherlock, Jr” which allegedly pissed his camp.
“Actually, walang ganoon. Ngayon ko lang narinig iyan at hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling iyan,” he insisted.
Just like Ruru, he said that GMA-7 management does not take him for granted.
“Marami rin namang akong iba’t-ibang opportunities. Gumagawa ako ng movie with Barbie at may gagawin rin naman akong soap so walang point para magselos ako dahil may binibigay naman silang projects sa akin,” he explained.
“Constantly, inirere-innovate ko ang sarili ko. Kahit anong role, okey lang basta magampanan ko nang maayos. Kahit anong dumating, kinu-consider ko siyang blessing at challenge also,” he said.
Derrick is happy to be reunited with Barbie Forteza in the movie “Almost A Love Story,” a different kind of love story partly shot in the scenic Salento in Italy.
“Last kaming nagkasama ni Barbie, sa Anna Karenina. So, nakaka-miss,” he said.
“Feeling ko, mas kumportable na kami ngayon. Feeling ko, mas natural na iyong acting namin ngayon,” he added.
He also admitted that he attempted to court Barbie in the past.
“Seryoso naman ako sa kanya pero baka at that time, akala niya hindi ako seryoso,” he elucidated.
He also believes that he has a lot of catching up to work on their onscreen chemistry.
“Hindi pa naman kami ganoon kagagaling na mga artista na may chemistry agad. Gradually siya. It takes some time,” he declared.
He iterated that he’s willing to go sexy but he thinks his current starrer is not the right project.
“Actually, hindi pa siguro rito. At saka, depende siya sa eksena. Pag kailangang-kailangan. Pag importante siya, bakit hindi?,” he said.
He also does mind if he will be launched as a sex symbol.
“Ok lang naman. Well, siguro iyong nakikita nila ay iyong sa physical,” aniya.
“Pero mas gusto ko siyempre na maa-appreciate nila iyong acting talent ko,” he concluded.
Derrick plays the role of Luigi, a painter in Louie Ignacio’s “Almost A Love Story.”
Produced by BG Films with Baby F. Go, Romeo Lindain and Dennis Evangelista as producers, the movie also stars Barbie Forteza, Lotlot de Leon and Anna Capri.
