Jeric Gonzales Eclipsed By Ken Chan In 'Destiny Rose' But Now Happy To Support Ken As His First Love

JERIC GONZALES admits he took the audition to play the title role in “Destiny Rose”, but he wasn’t lucky enough to be chosen. How did he feel when he learned that it was Ken Chan who bagged the role? “Siempre, happy ako for him,” he says. “I have no regret na nag-audition ako. At least, kahit hindi ako nakuha, kasama pa rin ako sa show playing the role of Ken’s childhood sweetheart at first love.”

He’s told he didn’t fit the part because he is physically buff. “Magiging babae si Destiny Rose at hindi naman talaga pambabae ang built ng katawan ko kasi ang laki ng mga braso at ang lapad ng balikat ko. Mas credible si Ken sa role. Nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa GMA kasi, right after my role sa ‘Pari Koy’ with Dingdong Dantes, heto’t napasama naman ako agad dito sa ‘Destiny Rose’, kaya tuloy-tuloy lang ang trabaho ko.”






He and Alden Richards are both winners in Ginoong Laguna. How does he feel that Alden is so popular now? “Mabait naman si Alden kaya deserving siya sa tagumpay na nararanasan niya ngayon. Hindi ako naiinggit at all. Napapanood ko nga ang AlDub sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ at happy talaga ako for him and Yaya Dub.”
