As everybody probably knows, Matteo Guidicelli is never late for shootings and appointments, thanks to his collection of Swatch Watches which he’s endorsing. That’s why his Tita Virgie Ramos, the Swatch big boss in the Philippines, loves Matteo dearly.
But what some people probably don’t know is that Matteo is the grandson of the late Supreme Court Chief Justice and Senate President Marcelo Fernan. Matteo was raised in Cebu, so he speaks fluent Cebuano (besides Tagalog and English) — and proud of it. That’s why Cebuanos love Matteo dearly.
I bet you didn’t know that, in the face of temptation, Matteo, doesn’t yield at once. He said, as quoted by Cosmopolitan magazine which featured him as one of the Top Bachelors of 2010, “Be yourself. Don’t give right away. Mystery is important.”
But in the following “sexy talk,” Matteo unwittingly lets his fans get a little peep into that “mystery,” something he didn’t in his movie debut, the recently-shown smash-hit Star Cinema rom-com Catch Me, I’m In Love topbilled by Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson, and in his daily co-hosting with, among others, 2009 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Bianca Manalo (also managed by Jojie Dingcong like Matteo) on the ABS-CBN noontime show Happy Yipee Yehey.
Matteo, 21 (March 26, Aries), stands 5’9” and wears size-9.5 shoes. Among his most endearing qualities is his being down-to-earth, friendly and not having any “star complex” at all.

“I’ll do anything for a girl just to make her happy. Of course, as long as it is within good reason.”
