He finds his role in “The Road” very challenging. “I only have two lines and after that, di na ko magsasalita. Lahat, gestures na lang, eyes, facial expressions. It’s very challenging to play a bad boy, lalo na yung scenes that I torture Rhian and Louise. Game naman sila, okay raw silang masaktan. Sometimes, I get carried away kaya sorry ako ng sorry sa kanila.”
The movie is violent, something like “Texas Chain Saw Massacre”, but Alden uses Anthony Hopkins Oscar-winning performance as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs” as his peg. “He’s really scary,” he says. Isn’t he worried his fans might be alienated since he’s being built up as a matinee idol-heartthrob? “No, more than anything else, I think this is a good chance for me to show my real worth as an actor.”
