After the success of his last soap opera
Mula Sa Puso where he reprised the role originally made popular by the late Rico Yan, JM De Guzman gears up for his newest project as the lead star of the upcoming drama series
Angelito Batang Ama. The show aims to focus the issue of young parenting.
The 23-year-old actor admitted he is more eager than nervous to be headlining a project as big as this. “
Nung una kong nalaman, sinabi lang sa akin. Masaya (laughs).
Gusto ko na mag-start.
May kaba, hindi puwedeng mawala yun. Pero I’m confident
kasi binigay sa akin itong trust
na ito na mabigat so
nanggigigil ako na ibalik sa kanila or
patunayan sa kanila na I deserve this shot,” he admitted to
Push.com.ph.In
Angelito Batang Ama, JM is looking forward to sharing scenes with former
Precious Hearts Romance Presents: Alyna co-stars Charee Pineda and Kaye Abad. “
Nakatrabaho ko na sila before.
Ngayon, nag-workshop
na kami kasama yung mga cast
tapos maganda yung kinalabasan ng workshop,
nakapag-bonding
kami dun. Masaya yung cast
namin. Actually I hope the viewers look forward to it
kasi sobrang excited
na ako mag-start
kasi first starring role
ko ito. Ang makikita nila ditong kakaiba siguro is
yung transition
ko sa pagiging bata to a more mature character. It’s totally different from the previous roles,” he said.
In the series, JM portrays the role of 17-year-old guy who has to deal with early fatherhood after getting his girlfriend (played by Charee Pineda) pregnant.
For his role, the model-turned-actor admitted he has been trying to lose more weight. JM said it has been a definite struggle to trim down ten more pounds before their taping starts end of the month. For his diet, he has cut out all carbs, which means he can’t eat any rice, bread or pasta until he reaches the target weight. “
Ngayon medyo nahihilo pa ako kasi kailangan ko mag-lose
ng weight
kasi bata yung role
ko. Yun yung physical preparation
ko. Tinanggal ko na yung rice
sa diet
ko. No carbs
talaga. Hindi rin ako puwede mag-gym
kasi lalaki naman ako. I need to lose five to ten more pounds
tapos start
na kami taping in two to three weeks,” he shared.
