JASMINE CURTIS SMITH is proud to be one of the leading ladies of “American Idol” runnerup David Archuleta in a romantic drama they’ll be doing for TV5 now sure to be helmed by Mac Alejandre. “My Ate (Anne Curtis) told me ang suwerte ko raw kasi I just started but may internationally famous celebrity na akong makakapareha samantalang siya, who’s been longer in the business, wala pa,” she says.
David is arriving in Manila today and they’ll start taping right away since Jasmine will have to go back to Melbourne, Australia by the first week of February when her classes resume. That means they only have three weeks to finish taping all their scenes together.
“I can’t neglect my studies as I made it clear to TV5 na priority ko talaga yun. I’ll be going back to Melbourne on February 8. Dapat nga, earlier, but kinausap na lang namin yung school ko doon to give me some leeway since start pa lang naman ng schoolyear doon. I also want to be here kasi for the Araneta Coliseum concert of my Ate, ‘Anne-Bisyosa: No Other Concert’, on January 28.”
She’s been here since Christmas. “Christmas eve, I spent with Ate Anne and her boyfriend, Erwan Heussaff, then Christmas Day mismo, we went to visit our dad and his new family in Pampanga. New Year, sinasama ko nina Ate sa trip nila Erwan sa Japan but I begged off, ayun, dun nga nila naranasan yung lindol doon.”
How does she like Erwan for her sister? “Boto ako sa kanya and I’m praying na sana nga, sila na magkatuluyan kasi napakabait ni Erwan. Even to me, sobrang bait niya and I can see happy talaga ang Ate ko sa kanya.”
