RICO BARRERA has played a lot of supporting roles before so he is glad he is now the main leading man in the new sex-drama, “Kabayo”.
“This is really one of the most challenging roles I’ve ever played kasi kakaiba siya, may depth siya,” he says.
“So I’m really excited, kinakabahan, sana magustuhan ng viewers kasi I really did my very best in my role as Conrad.”
He is paired with newcomer Julia Victoria.
“Bale seven years na kaming magkasama rito ng partner kong si Julia. Sa story, she comes from a rich family in Tacloban and I work for her brother, si Ping Medina as Max.
"Palaging may pressure sa akin at work and ang brother niya ang pume-pressure sa akin, and at home naman, si Julia and pume-pressure sa'kin, kasi she’s very sexually active at ang feeling ko nga, she treats me lang as her boy toy.”
Julia becomes even more demanding in bed and wants more excitement.
“Naging parang kabayo ako rito, a workhorse na pinagtatrabaho sa office ni Ping at pagdating sa bahay, pinagtatrabaho rin ni Julia sa kama.
"Sa office, lagi akong may hinahabol na deadline. Kayod nang kayod.
"Sa bahay naman, kayod pa rin, kasi lagi kong iniisip kung paano ko masa-satisfy si Julia sa mga demands niya sa akin sa kama.”
Rico was only 20 years old when he joined the very first Pinoy Bit Brother in 2005.
“I was into modeling then and I joined male bikini pageants. Then someone told me to audition sa PBB at nakuha naman ako.
"After that I tried acting and did teleseryes. But nothing much was happening, so nag-flight attendant muna ako, did TV commercials, went into network marketing, did a vlog about sports cars and things automotive.”
But acting has been deeply ingrained in his veins.
“Every now and then, may kumukuha pa rin sa akin to act and I did wholesome films.
"I am now 38 years old at sabi nila, may ilalaban pa naman, I can still go sexy raw, so heto, I’m doing sexy bed scenes in ‘Kabayo’.
"Nagustuhan ng director namin, si Sir Gian Morciano ang look ko na balbas sarado at yung build ko na bagay raw maging kabayong mola.”
So how far did he go in the movie?
“Naku, very far. I have bed scenes na three some kami nina Julia Victoria and Apple Castro.
"Tapos we got Angelo Ilagan to join us and it turns out bisexual siya at gusto niya rin akong maka-sex.
"Wild yung movie at lahat ng mga kasama ko, very cooperative sa mga pinagawa sa amin ni Direk Gian so abangan nyo sa Vivamax when it starts streaming on May 26.”
