John Lloyd Cruz Represents Ordinary Guys Who Have Aren'T Buff And Have No Abs

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ gives his most daring performance in “Unofficially Yours”. How sexy is it? “Sa love scene, I’m only wearing cologne,” he grins.

He plays a dentist, Mackey, a believer in true love and lasting relationships. When his girlfriend split with him, he decides to try a different profession. He’s accepted as a reporter in the lifestyle section of a newspaper. To celebrate, he goes with his friends on a night out where he meets a girl with whom he has a one-night stand. It happened so quickly they didn’t even get to know each other’s name. The next day, on his first day at work, he discovers that the girl he made love with is the senior lifestyle editor in the paper where he’ll be working. He tries to court her but she prefers them to be just friends with benefits with no strings attached.

Did he have second thoughts about undressing before the camera? “I trusted Direk Cathy Molina. Parang I experimented on myself. I know I don’t the best hunky body in the industry gaya sa ibang actors, but then, kailangan ba laging perfect or parang chiselled o hinulma ang makita ng audience? Hindi naman lahat ng lalaki, ganun ang katawan na may abs, di ba? So feeling ko, ako yung representative ng most ordinary guys na hindi naman bato-bato ang katawan sa muscles.”

So how is it doing the love scenes with Angel? “It helps na comfortable kami with each other kasi nagkasama na kami sa ‘Imortal’. Hindi na kami naiilang sa isa’t isa. It’s a privilege na maka-love scene siya kasi, di ba, nanguna siya as the sexiest sa bansa. Hahanga ka naman talaga sa kaseksihan niya.”  See the pictures of Angel Locsin in Unofficially Yours.

Lloydie admits he and Shaina Magdayao are now back in each other’s arms. They’ve ironed out the kinks in their relationship and they’re now okay again. “Nagkahiwalay kami, nagkabalikan, and now we’re doing fine. Now, kung anuman ang natutuhan namin sa nangyari sa’min, it’s personal and private, so sa amin na lang yun. We’re planning to have another vacation abroad with her family.” See article, John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao split up.

“Unofficially Yours” is a Valentine presentation that opens of February 15. After this, Lloydie will do another film, his reunion with Sarah Geronimo, and a new soap with Bea Alonzo. “Ang ganda nga ng pasok sa’kin ng taon,” he says. “Tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho ko.”
