Elmo Magalona playing beautiful music with Lauren Young

ELMO MAGALONA is excited to do his first movie, “Tween Academy, Class of 2012”. “I’m just glad our director here, Direk Mark Reyes, is also our director in ‘Party Pilipinas’ kaya kilala ko na siya,” he says. He’s teamed up with Julie Ann San Jose in “Party Pilipinas” and “Andres De Saya”, but it’s said in real life, his real girlfriend is ABS-CBN’s Lauren Young. What can he say about this? “Nakakahiya kay Lauren, but it’s not true. Hindi pa ako nagkaka-girlfriend at all. I want to excel first in my career before pursuing a lovelife.”

So how come he’s linked with Lauren? “We first met in an event and later, in a magazine pictorial. After that, na-link na kami after my sister Clara mentioned it sa twitter.” His love team with Julie Ann has a huge following and some fans are urging to court her in earnest to help their love team become even more popular. “Ayoko namang makisakay sa ganyang ligawan siya mapagbigyan lang sila. I’m sure even the fans won’t like it. I’m only 17 and I don’t like to force my feelings.”

What’s his role in “Tween Academy”? “I play Enzo, barkada ko sina Barbie Forteza and Bea Binene. Kasama rin dito si Julie Ann. May surprise appearance siya.”

Who’s better looking: he or his elder brother Franco who’s in ‘Blusang Itim’? “It’s my Kuya. He looks like our mom and they say ako, kamukha ng dad namin and my lola (Tita Duran). But the best looking among us is our youngest brother, si Arkin, kaya lang mataba siya ngayon.”
