Will he be willing to host another season of “Survivor”? “Yes, as hosting gives me a different kind of fulfillment. My suggestion is pagsamahin lahat ng best players sa past four season of ‘Survivor Philippines’, including past winners. But before that, I’m going to do a soap kasi nami-miss ko na ang drama acting. I’ve sat down with the GMA Creative Team and we’re now developing the story and the characters. This is going back to basics sa acting, wala munang fantasy like ‘Captain Barbell’. I told them to challenge me with something new. I don’t want a goody-goody perfect hero role. The heart of a good drama is still a good love story, so may love angle pa rin and we have come up with a short list of leading ladies na puro hindi ko pa nakakapareha before. I also want to do a serious movie this year. I’m considering of doing an indie film at nagpahanap na ko ng material na out of the box, pati character na gagampanan ko.”
Among his past leading ladies, who would he like to work with again? “The fans are asking for a reunion with Angel Locsin, with who I did hit films like ‘Let the Love Begin’ and ‘The Promise’, also with KC Concepcion. Kaya lang pareho silang nasa kabila.”
What does he think of KC’s recent heartbreak? “I never doubted she’d handle everything with grace. I’ve seen her sexy Rogue magazine cover. Ang ganda. I’m very happy for her.”
