ZANJOE MARUDO plays a gay doctor in love with Sam Milby in his new movie, “The Third Party”, now currently showing in theaters. Didn’t he have any reluctance in accepting the role? “No, na-excite nga ako kasi it’s something new. I’ve played a gay role in ‘Bromance’, pero comedy yun. Ito, more serious in portraying a gay romance. My character, si Christian, is a caring and loving person na very close to his family. Hindi naman siya isang balahurang bakla.”
Isn’t he worried folks might suspect that he’s really gay? “I really wouldn’t mind. These days, hindi na big issue ang sexual preference mo. Bale wala na kung bading ka ba o lalaki ka. I have many gay friends and they’re good people.”
What can he say about reports that his last girlfriend, Bea Alonzo, is now playing beautiful music with Gerald Anderson? “I don’t know if it’s true, but labas na ako roon. Matagal na kaming wala ni Bea, we’ve both moved on and we’ve remained friends naman. We remain civil to each other kapag nagkikita kami. Kung totoo yun, happy ako for them.”
