KATHRYN BERNARDO is paired with Albie Casino in the film that they’re doing after the hit TV soap, “Mara Clara” that ends this week, but she says the actor she has always admired is Piolo Pascual. “Bata pa ko, paborito ko na siya’t dream ko talagang makatrabaho siya,” she says.
But his age is more than double hers. “Hindi naman as leading man kasi nga sobrang laki ng age gap namin. Pero huwag rin namang tatay. Siguro, kuya. Magiging napakasaya ko kapag nangyari yun.”
Her love team with Albie has a lot of fans called KatBie. But it’s common knowledge that Albie went steady with Andi Eigenmann and recently had a bad break up with her with him calling her a cheater and allegedly slapping her. What does she think of this? “Based sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya, parang hindi siya ganun. Sa mall shows, pinoprotektahan niya kami ni Julia Montes pag nagkakagulo sa’min ang mga tao. Hindi niya kayang manakit ng babae. I don’t ask him about it kasi personal naman niyang buhay yun.”
What if Albie woos her now? “We’re close. Sa mga eksena namin, di na nakami nagkakahiyaan at all. Kaya wala na lang sigurong ligawan para di kami magkailangan. Okay na yung ganito. Trabaho lang.”
Who does she prefer: Albie or Diego Loyzaga who’s also paired with her? “Mahirap pumili kasi parehong maganda ang samahan namin. Also, magkaibang personality nila. Albie is our kuya at si Diego naman, siya pinakabago, so he’s like our baby boy, bunso namin. Parang magkakapatid lang kaming lahat sa show.”
