Gerald Anderson: Di ako magsasawa kay Kim

April 1, 2008

IS Gerald Anderson peeved when some folks say it’s better for Kim Chiu to be paired with Sam Milby in the local version of “My Girl”, the first Filipino version of a Koreanovela? “No, that’s their opinion and I respect it,” he says.

“But the ABS management chose me to be reunited with Kim after we did ‘Sana Maulit Muli’, which was very successful even in Taiwan and will also soon be shown in Vietnam and Cambodia, so wala na akong magagawa na hindi napagbigyan ang request nila.”

Is he bothered that it’s Kim herself who allegedly requested for Sam? “According to Kim, hindi naman niya direktang ni-request si Sam. Someone just asked her kung sino ang pipiliin niya sakaling hindi ako puwede sa show and she said si Sam kasi ito ang kumanta ng theme song ng ‘My Girl’, which is true naman.

Pero kung sakaling ipareha man si Kim sa iba, that’s also fine with me.”

He will play Julian and Kim will play Jasmine. What’s the status of their relationship now? “We remain very close. When I celebrated my 19th birthday last month, she gave me a wakeboard kasi alam niyang it’s my favorite sport now. When she celebrates naman her debut on April 19, I will be her official escort. And when she gets to be 18, her dad says puwede na siyang officially ligawan.”

Won’t they get tired of each other? “Imposibleng magsawa kami sa isa’t isa as we really enjoy each other’s company. And the more we get to know each other, mas lalo rin naming naa-appreciate and isa’t isa. Magkasama rin kami sa ‘Maligno’ ni Claudine Barretto and now, we’ll be seeing more of each other sa taping ng ‘My Girl’.”
