Philippines' latest entertainment and showbiz news, gossips, scandals and videos from Boy Abunda's ABS-CBN talk shows The Buzz, The Bottomline and SNN

John Lloyd Cruz considers playing a gay guy in his latest film In My Life, as his most daring role yet in his entire career. He explained during his interview on The Buzz that he did not have any inhibitions portraying a homosexual because it is fulfilling for an actor like him. “Ayokong isipin na nakakulong lang ako sa maliit na box at hanggang dun lang ang magagawa ko,” he explained.

He is also said that he is deeply grateful to his co-star, Vilma Santos, who admitted that having the chance to work with Lloydy is one of the major factors why she accepted the movie project. “Mahirap pong paniwalaan pero maraming maraming salamat kay Ate Vi,” Lloydy beamed. “Kagaya ni Kuya Aga (Muhlach) nung ginawa ko ‘yung Dubai (movie), napakalaking impact ng nagawa ni Ate Vi sa buhay ko, sa career ko, sa akin bilang artista at bilang kasama sa industriya.” Privileged to have worked with Ate Vi and Aga, Lloydy described these showbiz icons as more than generous co-stars. “Impact ‘yung ginamit kong term kasi hanggang sa tumanda ako, hanggang sa kahit maaaring wala na ako sa trabahong ‘to, kasama ko ‘yon (karanasan),” he shared.

The actor also admitted that playing a homosexual made him understand them more as people. “After doing this character—si Noel—nagkaroon na ‘ko ng tsansa na makasilip sa puso ng isang gay. And to tell you honestly, bilib ako sa kanila. Ang tingin ko ibang klase at hayop silang magmahal,” he explained. The Buzz host Boy Abunda asked the actor if he was ever courted by someone gay but John Lloyd answered no and clarified that he has no problems if ever a gay guy approaches him. “Ang iniintindi ko sa bawat taong nakakasalamuha ko bawat taong nami-meet ko sa buhay ko ‘pag tiningnan ko sila ang tinitingnan ko ‘yung puso, hindi ‘yung gender.”

By the end of the interview, Boy tried to fish about the status John Lloyd’s current love life but the actor was very guarded with his answers. “Okay naman po siya, tumitibok-tibok naman po. Masaya naman siya,” was John Lloyd’s only comment.
