Love teams make comeback

DIRECT LINE - Boy Abunda -

Will the fans of John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao welcome the tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo? Will a past romance rekindle when Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson reunite in a movie? The love teams of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, and Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson are set to make a comeback in Star Cinema movies.

It was in 2010 when the pair of John Lloyd and Bea was last seen in Miss You Like Crazy which was a huge box-office success that further sealed their bankability as a love team.

Starting off on television, the John Lloyd-Bea team-up was inseparable in Ikaw Ang lahat Sa Akin, Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay and It Might Be You. They were gorgeous as a couple in movies like, Now That I Have You, My First Romance, Close To You, All About You and One More Chance. Theirs was a combination that made people think something romantic was happening between them. Dashing off hopes of a relationship off screen, the couple explained why their onscreen romance did not spin off to an offscreen love team.

“Our love team was never forced. And you can’t force or push us to be more than love teams,” said Bea.

“We never pretended that we were more than a love team. Malalaman at malalaman din yan ng publiko. If love happens, the public will know about it,” explained John Lloyd.

This year, Bea and John Lloyd will be celebrating their 10th anniversary as a tandem with The Mistress. Both are excited to be working together anew.

Kakaiba siya. Our characters will be placed in a very unlikely situation. As the title suggests, may infidelity na mangyayayari,” said Bea.

“Our characters are oddly flawed. This is something new to Bea and I. I am very excited for Bea kasi ang ganda ng role niya,” explained Lloydie.

Bea and Lloydie are comfortable enough to portray any role given to them including those that require kissing. Remember it was Lloydie who was Bea’s first screen kiss.

“Ten years na kami pero each time we work together, there is always something new to it. Fresh lagi,” said Lloydie.

“I am very excited working again with him. Excited din ako kung ano ang maiibigay namin,” added Bea.

Another come-backing tandem is Kim and Gerald. It’s been two years since they last worked together in Till My Heartaches End. Theirs was an on- and off-screen romance. Some fans and friends found it hard to accept when the duo went their separate ways. Both Kim and Gerald had to plead to their fans to “accept” whoever was paired with them by their mother studio. Wasn’t there even threats by rabid Kimeralds to boycott movies done by Gerald with another partner?

Kim and Gerald for a time tickled the romantic in many of us. Even when we were watching Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, we saw an exciting collaboration. There was always pandemonium wherever and whenever Kim and Gerald appeared in public. Four years of working together, Kim and Gerald are looking forward to their new partnership.

“Very much excited ako na makasama si Kim,” said Gerald.

Ang main story is all about love. Lahat gagawin mo alang alang sa pag-ibig,” explained Kim.

“We’ve worked together for four years. Pagdating sa trabaho, sanay na kami sa isa’t isa,” added Gerald.

Will sparks fly when cameras start to roll and during shooting breaks when there are chances to rediscover each other again?

Angelica Panganiban and Piolo Pascual

Angelica on Piolo: Almost perfect

“Almost perfect” is how Angelica Panganiban describes Piolo Pascual her leading man in Every Breath You Take, a Star Cinema presentation. She plays Majoy, a role she describes as somewhat similar to her in real life. “Halos magkapareho si Majoy at si Angelica pagdating sa love. Kung paano si Majoy sa pamilya niya, sa lola niya, sa pinsan at kaibigan, ganun din si Angelica.”

Angelica is all praises of Piolo as an actor, except for one thing: “Mahirap makatrabaho si Piolo pag wala kang control sa sarili mo. Talagang mai-in-love ka sa kanya. He is amazing. Pwede mo ng sabihin he is perfect. Dito sa pelikulang ito, dito ko sobrang nakilala si Piolo. We are comfortable with each other.”

Every Breath You Take is Star Cinema’s 19th anniversary presentation and opens in theaters nationwide starting May 16.

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband

Angel renews ABS-CBN contract

Angel Locsin signed a new contract with ABS-CBN last Friday which means Angel will be busy in the next few years working on some movies and a teleserye. And where does this leave hot, top footballer Phil Younghusband?

Angel said marriage is still far off from her mind. “Pag maganda ang takbo ng personal life mo, maganda rin ang takbo ng career. Ang bagay lang naminlahat nagiging positive, lahat nagiging perfect, kasi magkasama kami. Siya lahat ang buhay ko at ako lahat ang buhay niya,” summed up Angel.

I’m happy for Phil and Angel. May this one be forever for two of the loveliest people this side of the world.
