Hinangaan ng veteran actor na si Christopher “Boyet” de Leon ang Kapuso actor na si Alden Richards dahil sa pagiging matalino, mabait at magalang nito.

Sa panayam sa kanya ng talent manager-aktor na si Ogie Diaz sa YouTube (YT) channel nito, ibinahagi ni Boyet ang kanyang working relationship kay Alden at sa Kapamilya actor-director na si Coco Martin.

Tinanong ni Ogie kung nakatrabaho na niya si Alden at kung ano ang masasabi niya sa aktor bilang katrabaho.

“Yes, very sharp, sharp guy. I thought he was like shy type,” saad ni Christopher.

Ikinuwento ng aktor na kasalukuyan silang nagtatrabaho ni Alden sa isang proyektong tungkol sa mga doktor, kaya kinailangan nilang pag-aralan at isaulo ang maraming medical terms.

“Ang ginagawa namin ngayon is Code Gray. Tungkol ito sa mga doctors. He’s very sharp. Nahihirapan kami sa mga medical terms. Wow! Itong mga lines, tongue twisters lahat. But we have to memorize all of them,” ani Boyet.

Bukod naman sa pagiging matalino, humanga rin si Christopher sa pagiging sweet, funny at jolly ni Alden.

“I find him so sweet and funny. I don’t know, he’s like a kid pala. Every time nakikita ko na s’ya, kahit siguro ‘yung mga ordinaryong tao na nakakakita sa kanya, very tahimik. Very respectful s’ya. Pero ano pala s’ya, jolly person. He’s a nice guy,” pahayag niya.

Samantala, inilahad din ni Christopher ang working relationship niya kay Coco, na nagsisilbi ring direktor niya sa ilang proyekto. Sey niya, mahalaga ang pagtitiwala niya kay Coco bilang direktor at bukas din naman ito sa mga suggestions.

“I just have to trust him. ‘Pag medyo kailangan ko pang pagandahin, he’s open. Always open para sa mga suggestions,” sey ni Boyet.

Gayunman, kapag may suggestion siya na hindi tugma sa nais ni Coco para sa eksena, naiintindihan niya ito at hindi na niya ipinipilit ang kanyang gusto.

“More often, when I suggest or ‘pag ‘di ko magustuhan ‘yung gusto n’ya, tatabi ako. ‘Co (Coco), halika.’ Ayokong in front of everyone, eh. I never do that, eh,” kuwento niya.

Nilinaw din ni Christopher na hindi siya basta nagtuturo sa ibang artista kung paano umarte habang nasa set.

“I never teach actors on the set. I teach them techniques, but I don’t tell them how to act,” paliwanag niya.

Kapag may nais siyang itanong o linawin kay Coco, pribado raw niya itong kinakausap.

Paliwanag niya, “Parang kumbaga, maski na kay Director Coco, ‘pag meron akong kailangan, itatabi ko s’ya. Ibubulong ko sa kanya, ‘Paano ‘to? Ano’ng nangyari rito? Ba’t ganyan?’”

Para kay Christopher, malaking bagay na aktor din si Coco.

“Ano s’ya, eh, he’s an actor kasi kaya alam n’ya ‘yung sinasabi namin sa kanya o ang itinatanong namin sa kanya. As an actor, naiintindihan n’ya kaagad. As a director, naiintindihan din n’ya ‘ko dahil every so often, nagdi-direct din naman ako,” dagdag niya.

Well, in fairness kay Coco, lalong gumaling sa acting na mapapanood sa Sigabo.‘Di ba, madlang pipol?

SUPER-PROUD ang multi-awarded actress na si Dina Bonnevie sa apo niyang si Anielle Micaela ‘Caela’ Pingris.

Sa kanyang social media post, ibinahagi ni Dina ang pagmamahal at suporta niya kay Caela, na kasalukuyang naglalaro ng volleyball.

Ani Dina, “My dear, beautiful granddaughter, Caela, watching you shine on the volleyball court fills my heart with so much pride. I am incredibly proud of the talented, determined, and hardworking young woman you are becoming.

“But beyond all your victories, medals, and accomplishments, what I pray for most is that you grow into a woman who knows and loves God, whose heart is kind, whose character is strong, and whose faith guides you through every season of life.

“Always remember that your worth is not measured by how many points you score or how many games you win. You are precious because you are God’s beautiful creation, and you are deeply loved.

“I will always be here cheering you on—not only from the sidelines of the volleyball court, but through every chapter of your life. I love you more than words can say, and I pray that God continues to protect you, guide you, and bless the path He has prepared for you.

“Keep shining, my precious girl. Play with passion, live with purpose, and most of all, walk with God.

“Mama D loves you so very much!”

Si Caela ay anak nina Danica Sotto at dating PBA player Marc Pingris.

‘Yun lang, and I thank you.
