MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actor Paulo Avelino might have been seen walking the Star Magic Ball red carpet last year with a blonde bombshell in his arm.
But during his recent interview with Philstar.com for his current soap opera "Asintado," the star of upcoming biopic "Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral" admitted that he has never been in love.
In time for Valentine's, Philstar.com asked Avelino what is love for him, but the actor failed to come up with a definition, explaining that it is because he was never in love before.
On July last year, ABS-CBN reported that the Kapamilya heartthrob was dating Filipino-Australian model Jodie Elizabeth Tarasek.
Avelino also reportedly dated fellow Kapamilya star KC Concepcion.
What could be the qualities of that one who could make him fall in love?
"Simple lang," said Paulo. "Siyempre, gusto mo ng matalino, gusto mo ng caring, and gusto mo rin ng may oras sa'yo."
This Valentine's, he said he has no time to celebrate as he has a full taping schedule for "Asintado."
Although he seems to still be on the lookout for the one who could make him fall in love, Avelino shared that his showbiz career is in upswing.
In "Asintado," he plays a lawyer with a very complex character.
"He loves in such a weird way na minsan hindi mo na masabi kung pagmamahal nga ba ito o hindi," Paulo said of his role.
He is done taping for his movie "Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral," which might be shown by the end of this year. He is thankful for the positive reviews he got from starring in last year's Metro Manila Film Festival entry, "Ang Larawan."
At first, he was sad that "Ang Larawan" was pulled out from many cinemas.
"Of course, noong una, nalungkot ako, pero after seeing how people were fighting for it, natuwa ako na maraming lumaban para sa pelikulang ito." — Video by EC Toledo IV
