“Useless mapikon, ikaw ang talo,” he says. “Maski sa ‘Eat Bulaga’, dedma na lang pag tinutukso ko. Sakyan na lang. Basta wala akong ginagawang masama. Bahala na sila mag-isip ng gusto nila.”
When Toni Gonzaga was asked recently if she had a gay suitor, she said yes and some writers concluded it’s Paolo as they worked together before in “Eat Bulaga”. What can he say about this? “Crush ko rin yung boyfriend niya (Director Paul Soriano.)”
In “D’Kilabots” that will premiere at SM Megamall on November 27 and opens nationwide on November 28, he plays Jose Manalo’s gay assistant named Shamcey. “Tindera ko ng isaw rito pero mahilig ako mag-quote ng lines from local movies, gaya ng lines nina Claudine Barretto, Ate Shawie, Ate Vi, Ate Guy at Carmi Martin. Mahilig din ako sumali rito sa gay beauty pageants.”
Isn’t he worried his daughter Keira might question him why he goes on drag on TV and the movies? “When she grows up, I know maiintindihan niyang trabaho lang ito at siya ang inspirasyon ko so I can give her a good future. Pero pinaghahandaan ko na yan kasi tuturuan ko na siyang maglagay ng false eyelashes para hindi na siya magtatanong.”
