HEART EVANGELISTA is thrilled to be working with two Korean heartthrobs in “My Korean Jagiya”, Alexander Lee and Andy Ryu. “I feel lucky to be given the chance to work with them as they’re both gentlemen and both very talented,” she says.
Didn’t Xander get jealous when Andy joined them in the show? “He says hindi naman daw, but it’s the fans who are getting jealous kasi sanay na sila kay Xander. But wait until they meet Andy, na very lovable din ang dating.”
So how is it working with Andy? “Medyo nahihirapan siya kasi nga he doesn’t speak English fluently like Xander does. So it’s also a challenge for me. Ang role ko pa naman, interpreter niya kasi big star siya in Korea na nagpunta rito sa atin to promote his new movie, ‘Bus to Busan’. Sa script, biglang may Korean lines akong ita-translate kaya challenge talaga for me. I cannot compare him with Xander kasi bago pa lang kaming nagkasama, unlike si Xander na matagal-tagal na. But both of them are very hardworking. Pareho rin silang mabilis kumilos, walang arte sa katawan.”
Recently, she was invited to the Tatler ball in BGC and got the surprise of her life when she was seated next to famous French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, whose shoes she’s really been wearing for sometime now.
“I didn’t expect it kasi I’m very shy sa ganoon, but it’s magical as he’s really nice. Super bait niya. I’m a huge fan. We started to talk at nag-click kami agad. Sobrang nice niya and warm. Niyaya pa akong sumayaw. You wanna dance? I said, I’m shy, I don’t really dance, but he took me and so we danced. The following night, the Tantocos of Rustan hosted an intimate dinner for him and I was invited, so two nights kaming nagchika-chika. Nag-exchange pa kami ng numbers. He’s really my brand kasi I’m so comfortable in his shoes and I was even wearing them nang ikasal ako, so dream come true for me to meet him.”
