Heart Evangelista Talks About Relationship With Sen. Chiz Escudero

HEART EVANGELISTA ends 2012 with a new movie, GMA Films’ “Sosy Problems” that’s an entry in the Metro filmfest, and starts 2013 with a new soap, “Forever”, opposite Geoff Eigenmann.

“Nakakatuwa kasi tuloy-tuloy ang work ko,” she says.

Someone quips she currently seems to be lucky in both love and career as her romance with Sen. Chiz Escudero is also doing well.

What’s her role in “Sosy Problems”? “I like my role here as Claudia, anak ng isang dating international beauty queen. Model ako na part time actress, nagho-host din and forever on a diet.”

Looks like the peg for her character is Isabelle Daza, daughter of former Bb. Universe Gloria Diaz. We heard Isabelle herself was considered for the movie but she got busy shooting a film with John Lloyd Cruz for Star Cinema.

“My best friend in ‘Sosy Problems’ is Solenn Heussaff, who’s really a good friend of Isabelle in real life,” adds Heart. “Pero sa movie, love-hate ang relationship namin ni Solenn as Margaux. May secret rivalry kami, parehong sosyal na fashonista, at kailangan, kung ano meron yung isa, meron din yung isa. Ang ultimate na pinag-awayan namin is a boy, played by Aljur Abrenica who’s a hunky lifeguard-handyman in a hotel na pareho naming gustong maging boy toy. The movie is a social comedy at marami kaming funny scenes while trying to seduce Aljur in our own way.”

Off cam, it’s common knowledge she’s on with Sen. Chiz Escudero. How does she feel about their big age gap and the accusation he’s just using her for his political career now that he’s running for reelection? “About his being older, okay lang yun. I learn so much from him as he’s more mature than me in so many ways. And I don’t think he’s using me for his political career. Number one siya sa surveys, he doesn’t have to use anyone.”
