Robin Padilla Prefers Son Ali Not To Join Showbiz While Cousin Daniel Is Very Hot

ROBIN PADILLA personally chose Mylene Dizon to be his leading lady in the Metro Filmfest entry, “10,000 Hours”. “Nakasama ko siya sa soap at napakagaling na artista,” he says. “Ilang beses ko na siyang inirekomenda sa ibang projects, pero laging hindi natutuloy kaya nakakatuwang finally, heto, natuloy na rin. Siya ang misis ko rito. As a senator na tinugis ng mga nasa kapangyarihan kaya nagtago for 10,000 hours, napawalay ako rito sa misis ko at sa mga anak naming sina Cholo Barretto, Marki Stroem and Wyn Marquez.” 10,000 Hours is directed by Joyce Bernal and some action sequences were shot in Amsterdam.

Why did he agree to play dad to such grown up stars? “Okay lang. Masarap naman gumanap sa role ng tatay. E, maski sa totoong buhay, malalaki na naman ang mga anak ko. Dalaga na sina Queenie and Kylie, di ba?”

Now that “Wowowillie” has ended on TV5 last Friday, will he allow his wife Mariel Rodriguez to return to ABS-CBN and do another show? “Anong show? Hindi naman akong magde-decide, e. Basta isa lang naman ang sinasabi ko sa kanya. Lahat puwede niyang gawin. Huwag na huwag lang siyang makikipag­halikan sa iba. Sabi ko, kawawa naman sa akin ang magiging kahalikan mo. Hindi ko naman sila pinipigil, ha! Di subukan lang nila!” he laughs.

Kylie is all set to do a new show on GMA-7, “Adarna”. On the other hand Quenie Padilla has quit showbiz to devote her life to Allah.  What about Queenie? How is she now? “Ay, preacher na siya sa Australia. Tama nang si Kylie lang ang nasa showbiz. We’ll do a movie together.”

How about his son, Ali, will he also be joining showbiz? “Naku, sabi ko, huwag na muna. Nandiyan pa si Daniel (his nephew.) Tama na muna yun.”
