Tom Rodriguez Refutes Rumors That 'The Cure' Is About To End, Enjoys Doing His Risky Action Scenes In The Show Without Any Double

TOM RODRIGUEZ refutes rumors that his primetime show with Jennylyn Mercado, “The Cure”, will soon be terminated. “Not true,” he says. “Siguro pinagkakalat lang yan ng mga nate-threaten sa ‘The Cure’ dahil pataas nang pataas ang ratings ng show namin kasi kakaiba at talagang bago ang concept nito. Heto nga, tuloy-tuloy ang taping namin and Kris Bernal and Matt Evans have just joined us in the show. Tuloy-tuloy rin ang pag-iisip ni DIrek Mark Reyes ng more thrilling and exciting situations para mas mapaganda ang show. Tiyak na mas subaybayan ito ng viewers every night habang patuloy na lumalaganap ang Monkey VIrus Disease as a nationwide epidemic. Patuloy rin kaming trending sa social media and we’ve just been called the Most Buzzed show. Hanggang Week 7 na nga ang script namin, e.”

Viewers appreciate the action sequences he does in the show which he himself executes without any double. “Ayoko talagang magpa-double kahit inaalok nilang dobolan na lang ako, kasi enjoy naman ako sa ginagawa ko,” he adds. “Kailangan lang mai-rehearse na mabuti ang bawat action scene to make sure na walang magiging anumang aksidente sa set. Isa sa pinakamahirap na ginawa ko was when I did a fight scene on top of a moving truck. Medyo kinakabahan ako but naitawid naman namin nang maayos. My adrenalin is flowing at ganado ako ngayon to do more daring action scenes kasi very fulfilling siyang gawin. Actually, matagal ko nang hinihintay na mabigyan ako ng GMA ng ganitong project kaya dream come true for me ang action scenes ko rito sa ‘The Cure’.”

Tom & Carla A. have been going steady for four years now. Have they talked about getting married? “Yes, but we’re still preparing for it. Wala pang telecast date kasi ayaw naman naming magpa-pressure na dahil lang ikinakasal na yung iba, pakakasal na rin kami. We have our own journey and we’re basing it it on our internal clocks pareho. Kung pakakasal kami agad, we both think it’s premature at mas maganda to prepare for it munang mabuti.”
