Ryan Bang Open About His Crush For Kim Chiu Who Says: 'Lilipas Din Yan'

RYAN BANG still cannot believe that he’s playing leading man to Kim Chiu in the horror-comedy, “DOTGA: The One that Ghost Away”, that opens in theaters today. “Overwhelmed talaga ako when I was informed about it,” he says. “I never expect mangyayari ito sa buhay ko. I got a big offer from SBS, a top company in Korea, to do a variety show, but hindi ko tinanggap kasi di ko na maiiwan ang Pilipinas. Medyo nagsisi ako but, then, dumating itong movie with Kim so di na ko nagsisi at sobrang masaya po ako. Dati, lagi lang akong sidekick, kay Piolo Pascual, Coco Martin, Robin Padilla, tapos ngayon, leading man na. So thank you sa Star Cinema for giving me this chance. I think I also owe it to Empoy Marquez kasi siya ang nagpasimula ng mga comedian maging leading man.”

Ryan was the second runner up in PBB Teen Clash of 2010, where James Reid won. He has really come a long way since then. He’s very open in declaring that Kim Chiu, the big winner in the first PBB Teens, is really his crush. “Nage-expect nga ako na may kissing scene kami, pero hindi binigay ni Direk Tony Reyes,” he laments.

What can Kim say about this? “Mabait si Ryan. Very generous sa mga kasama niya. Lahat sa set, pinapakain niya ng pizza. Galante pa. Ang production assistant nga niya, pinapa-hot oil treatment pa niya ng libre.”

So Ryan has a chance to win her heart? “Ah teka, isipin ko muna. Baka sa next life,” she laughs. “Hindi. Sobrang bait talaga ni Ryan. At sobrang galing di niya rito sa movie so don’t miss it.”

How about Ryan’s crush on her? “Naku, lilipas din yan.”
