Megan Young can't be paired with vertically challenged men

ABS-CBN STAR Magic hosted a celebration for their February born talents. One of them is Megan Young, who turns 20 on Saturday, February 27. ABS-CBN has lately been launching many stars to stardom, like Maja Salvador, Erich Gonzales, Bangs Garcia and Andi Eigenmann. When will her turn come? "I don't know," she says. "Yun nga ang birthday wish ko, sana mabigyan din ako ng launching vehicle," she says. "But I'm willing to wait for the right project. Kasi ayoko rin namang basta i-launch, tapos sasablay lang. As of now, hindi naman ako pinababayaan ng ABS. I'm part of 'Rubi' on primetime and I play Jake Cuenca's sister. Si Xian Lim ang love interest ko and I'm glad kasi he's so tall, puede akong mag-heels."

She stands 5'8" and can't be paired with vertically challenged leading men. After doing 'Shake, Rattle & Roll XI" for Regal, she's now shooting "Sigwa" for Cinemalaya, directed by Joel Lamangan. "I play the young Dawn Zulueta. Our characters don't really meet on screen but I saw her noon at the storycon and I was star struck. She's so beautiful. Sana maging ganun din ako when I reach her age. I play a young journalist na balikbayan from the States in the story so I speak Tagalog with an American accent. The story starts in the 1970's and very challenging ang role ko. We shot a big scene na protest rally with hundreds of extras and they were burning tires in the street. I got scared kasi muntik na kong masunog in one scene sa 'Shake'. Naku, baka maulit na naman. But I did everything Direk Joel asked me to do kasi ayokong masigawan niya."

Megan is also hosting "Girlista" on Studio 23 and is a VJ in Channel V. She admits she has a boyfriend, an Atenean cager named Nico.
