“Masakit pa rin ang likod ko pero very bearable naman kayo nagpunta pa rin ako,” he says. “But there are times na sobrang sakit, hindi ko halos matiis. Nasa genes namin, kasi yung dad namin, ganito rin. Yung isang sister ko, nagkaganito rin at inoperahan, nilagyan ng bakal sa likod. I’m praying hindi naman ako umabot sa ganon at makuha pa sana sa gamot. I also pray na maaalis nang kusa yung sobrang buto ko sa may lumbar area na nakakaapekto sa spinal cord ko.”
Of course, Paolo is asked about his rumored romance with Sebastian Castro, said to be his lucky charm now. His last two movies flopped when he was still with another guy but “My 2 Mommies” hit it big now that he’s on with Sebastian. Is it true he ordered Sebastian not to attend the premiere night at Megamall of ‘My 2 Mommies’ because his managers are asking him to be more discreet and not to be so open about his lovelife? “Walang gan’on,” he stresses. “At huwag nyo na akong tanungin tungkol diyan. Tingnan nyo na lang yung IG ko. Mas mabuti na yung quiet lang.”
If he were to be asked, he wants Eric Quizon to direct his next movie again. “I like his style, very cool lang sa set. Maganda ang naging working relationship namin and I like his touch na napaghahalo nang maayos ang comedy and drama to make a truly heartwarming movie.”
