KITANG-KITA KO
ni Danny Vibas
NAKABIBILIB ba o nakaninerbiyos ang self-confidence ng baguhang aktor na si Nico Locco?
Walang pagdududa sa sarili na pahayag n’ya kamakailan: ”And that’s kind of the direction I wanted to go sa career ko, and that’s my peg. Let’s be honest, guys. That’s my peg talaga—this sexy, daring, provocative and…
“Aside from that, I want the industry to realize that, ‘OK, this kid can act as well, magaling siya umarte, not just sexy roles.’
“That’s why I’m excited for you guys to watch Love at the End of the World, kasi, you will see my range as an actor, and not just because makikita niyo ang Santolan station. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
“But you will actually see a guy that knows what he’s doing as an actor. And sana that portrays through my role in Love at the End of the World…”
Parang wala talaga siyang pagdadalawang-isip sa sagot n’ya sa bawat tanong sa kanya. Heto ang mahahabang sipi buhat sa interbyu sa kanya ng katotong Jerry Olea na inilabas sa Pep.ph:
Nakatatanggap ba siya ng indecent proposals?
“Oo, marami,” mabilis na sagot ni Nico.
“Grabe, araw-araw ‘yan. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Sanay na ako.”
Ano ang isinasagot niya?
“I always believe in kindness, and being kind to people. And there’s always a way to tell people ‘no,’ there’s a certain way of doing it.
“Kaya over the years, I’ve learned. Ever since I was a kid, you know, I was getting this kind of proposals.
“At first, I didn’t know what to do. Takot ako, e. I was, like… what’s happening? Pero over time, you get used to it. And you start to learn how to handle these types of situations.
“It’s important for every actor, especially with my peg, right? I mean, I’m a target for that.
“So, with people that, you know… of course, are good-looking and would get those kinds of offers, you have to learn how to deal with it. That’s part of show business.”
May showbiz personalities ba na nagpahiwatig sa kanya?
Natawa si Nico, ”Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ayokong magkuwento!”
May mga aktor ba na nag-propose sa kanya?
“Ang dami! Even from people that you would never think you’d get one from!” bulalas ni Nico.
Nagugulat nga si Nico sa mga aktor na inaakala niyang straight, pero hindi pala!
“Ang daming beses na!” sambit pa ni Nico.
Kaya siguro matindi na ang self-confidence ni Nicco ay dahil 26 years old na siya. At maraming taon na siyang naging ramp and commercial model bago siya sumabak sa acting sa pelikula.
Ka-partner ni Nico si Gold Aceron sa BL series na Love at the End of the World, na nakatakdang mag-streaming sa December 30 sa GagaOOLala.
First time umano ni Gold na makipag-kissing scene sa kapwa lalaki.
Nawa’y kumita ang Love at the End of the World at may makapuna sa acting ni Nicco na ang tunay na pangalan pala ay Nicholas Timothy Fowler.
