Edgar Allan Guzman to take a break from gay roles

-


Actor Edgar Allan Guzman has revealed that he wont be accepting gay roles for now after his latest movie "Deadma Walking," an entry to the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival.

Guzman said that he feels that he is now being typecast into gay roles although he really has no qualm with that.

"Actually nangyayari na nga eh (na type-cast ako). Tinatanggap ko lang naman. So break muna sa gay roles para 'yung mga tao hindi ma-confuse kung lalaki ba ako o bading," said Guzman during a press conference for his latest movie held at the Limbaga 77 Cafe Restaurant in Timog, Quezon City recently. The movie also stars actor Joross Gamboa.


Guzman has portrayed the role of a gay in the movies "Working Beks," and "Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako," and in an episode on the drama anthology "Maala-Ala Mo Kaya" on ABS CBN.

"Actually nakikita ko rin sa ibang comments talaga na mas okay ang straight guy na gaganap na gay kasi makikita dun kung gaano sya ka-versatile," he said.

In "Deadma Walking," Guzman and Gamboa play two gay best friends who mount a fake wake and funeral.

It is the first movie among the eight MMFF entries this year to receive an "A" form the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB). The CEB commended the film for its fine direction, editing, script writing, and heartwarming message.


"Deadma Walking" is based on the screenplay of Eric Cabahug that won 2nd prize at the Palanca Awards for Literature.

With Christmas just around the corner, Guzman said that it will be quite a busy holiday season for him.

"Magpo-promote kami ng 'Deadma Walking.' But as always, ang family ko na che-check-in kami da hotel pag Christmas. Nakagawian na namin ito," said Guzman.

"Then siguro, on Christmas Day, manunuod kami ng family ko ng 'Deadma Walking.' So ganun lang ang plan namin sa Pasko," he said.


Last year, as a Christmas gift for himself, Guzman bought himself a brand new car and a lot in Pasig City where he will build his dream house. "Taga-Pasig po kasi ako kaya doon ako bumilli ng lupa."

This year, Guzman has given himself an early Christmas gift - a condominium unit in Quezon City.

"Bumili naman ako ng condo ngayon. Hindi pa sya gawa. Hopefully next year magamit ko na sya," said the former winner of Mr. Pogi 2006 of "Eat Bulaga."

"Magiging pad ko lang sya at hindi talaga ako duon titira. Halimbawang mahirap na umuwi papuntang Pasig dahil pagod na sa taping, dun muna ako uuwi," Guzman added.


Guzman, 29, transferred to the Kapuso network in June and currently enjoys his stint on the popular network.

The Kapuso hunk is one of the stars of the prime teleserye "My Korean Jagiya" with Heart Evangelista in the lead role.

Guzman said that he is all praises to Evangelista who is very nice and professional.

The actor also said that he idolizes Senator Chiz Escudero, husband of Evangelista, who is very supportive to the actress.


Asked about his future projects on GMA 7, Guzman said: "Tuloy-tuloy pa rin hanggang ang 'My Korean Jagiya' hanggang 2018. After that, wala pa namang offer pero I'll be doing 'Magpakailanman.' Sana may bago na ring teleserye next year."

Guzman also expressed his thoughts about indecent proposals.

"Ako kasi medyo alam ko na kung gusto nilang papunta na ruon. Pag ganun hindi ko na ine-entertain. Hindi ko na lang sinasagot yung mga text nila," he added.

But Guzman said that he doesn't see himself giving in to such kind of proposal. "Hindi ko kaya." - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad?

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
