THE MALE LEADS of “Time of My Life”, Mark Herras and Rocco Nacino, both walked on the Cosmo Bash ramp at the World Trade Center last Thursday night. The consensus of those who watched the event is that Rocco easily eclipsed his more senior Stastruck co-star. “Obvious na pinaghandaan talaga ni Rocco ang pagrampa niya,” says one writer. “Kasi at 5’8”, kulang siya sa height compared doon sa mga 6 footer na models. But what he lacks in height, pinunuan niya through his eyepopping performance. He did everything to please the crowd. He just didn’t dance, he also gyrated like an exotic dancer, he made acrobatic moves, flexed his well toned muscles and teased the crowd na gumapang pa siya sa rampa at nanghalik ng fans kaya grabe ang positive response sa kanya.”
“Someone should have adviced Mark na dapat hindi na lang siya rumampa kasi he’s not prepared,” says another writer. “Unang-una, hindi naman buff ang katawan niya like kina Rocco, Enzo Pineda and Aljur Abrenica. Naturingang siya ang most senior sa kanila, pero siya yung hindi inaalagaan nang husto ang katawan niya. Even his performance when he danced, kulang sa l!bog at energy. Tanggalin na sa kanya yung titulong Bad Boy of the Dance Floor at ibigay kay Rocco na siyang mas kagulat-gulat ang pagsayaw ng gabing yun.”
We just hope this comparison between them won’t affect the relationship between Mark and Rocco on the set of their hit primetime show, “Time of My Life”.
