Maui Taylor on Baron Geisler

August 10, 2008

Maui Taylor’s last film, “Bugbog Sarado,” was shown five years ago yet. “Ang tagal na,” she says. “Kaya naman happy akong my comeback movie, ‘Torotot,’ is getting good reviews and is also competing in the Brussels International Filmfest. All those who’ve seen it praise my performance and they were all shocked by the climax of the movie nang bugbugan scene namin ni Baron Geisler, who plays my husband.”

It looks so violent on screen. Was she really hurt while shooting it? “‘Yung mga sapakan, daya lang. Ang masakit, ‘yung sobrang pinisil ni Baron ang cheeks ko and my arms kasi gigil na gigil siya sa galit sa akin after seeing me cheating on him with my lover, Andrew Schimmer.

Then I fell from the top of a high table onto the floor at nagkapasa ‘yung butt ko. But it’s all worth it kasi kapag napanood mo ‘yung sequence na ‘yun, you’ll get carried away.”

What’s her experience in working with Baron? Is he really difficult on the set?

“Actually, mabait siya. Palabiro lang and naughty, but he knows how to respect women. Para kasi siyang bata na mahilig mang-asar, but when he sees na mapipikon ka na, he stops and says he’s sorry. Kaya nagulat nga ako nang mademanda siya. Parang hindi ‘yun ang Baron na kakilala ko.”

Doing “Torotot” proved to be a good buwena mano for her as she has just finished a new sex-drama for no less than National Artist Eddie Romero, “Teach Me to Love,” where she plays a teacher who mentors teen actor Nathan Lopez (”Maximo Oliveros”) about the birds and the bees. Also in the film is Tonton Gutierrez as Nathan’s dad. “Meron pa akong bagong offers, ‘Saplot’ and ‘Aurora B,’ I just don’t know kung alin ang pipiliin kong gawin,” she adds. “I’m also in a new horror show on ABC-5, ‘Midnight DJ,’ with Desiree del Valle and Paolo Contis. It will start airing this Tuesday, August 5, at 7 p.m.”
