Derek Ramsay is confident that people will watch “The Escort” first. “Both Lovi and I gave our all in this movie,” he says. “Pareho kami, this is our most daring film so far.”
Didn’t his real life GF Joanne Villablanca get jealous? “She’s very understanding and supportive kaya never siyang nagselos. Never kaming nagkaroon ng tampuhan when it comes to my work. I inform her naman beforehand that I’m doing daring scenes and she knows that when I do this, it’s not really me but the character I play. Pareho kami ni Lovi, there are no real emotions involved, we’re just enacting the roles assigned to us. E, si Lovi, palaban talaga rito. May scenes na we’re supposed to make love doggie style at may touches pa na parang ‘50 Shades of Grey’. She was willing to do it but, out of respect for her, I told her, it’s not you. We talked to our director, Enzo Williams, about it and in the end, siya ang nasunod, we ended up doing the kinky bed scene. Panoorin nyo na lang and tell me kung hindi talagang napaka-bold noong eksena. I’m sure masisiyahan lahat ng manonood nito.”
Derek is actually the titler roler in the film as Xyrus, a male escort who becomes the lover of Jean Garcia, who’s married to Rommel Padilla, a politician. Jean puts up her own escort service and gets Derek as its manager. Derek meets Lovi and wants to get her as one of their escort girls but she rejects the idea. She ends up being a secretary instead and Derek falls in love with her, leading to some deadly complications.
