ALICE DIXSON just returned from a three-week vacation in Canada and the U.S. “I spent the holidays visiting my family,” she says. “Pagbalik ko rito, tamang-tama, I have a new show to tape with TV5, ‘Confessions of a Torpe’ with Ogie Alcasid.Then, the movie I did with Director Joel Lamangan, ‘The Lady Next Door’, will be shown on Tuesday at 8PM as the premiere offering of ‘Studio 5 Original Movies’ and I needed to help promote it.”
Being officially introduced in ‘Lady Next Door’ is Artista Academy discovery Mark Neumann. What are the roles they play? “I play a newscaster who just had a falling out with my boyfriend, Jestoni Alarcon, so I went to the beach to heal a broken heart. Si Mark naman is a balikbayan teenager from the States. He was sent by his mom, Bing Loyzaga, to his Lola, Boots Anson Roa, as a punishment for doing some mischief in the U.S. We meet by chance when my car broke down, he was biking and he saw me and helped me with my car. Yun pala, talagang pinapanood na niya ako when I go swimming.”
So how is Mark’s acting? “Well, he’s bago pa lang so ang depth of emotion and experience niya is understandably limited. He has never had a girlfriend daw, so he hasn’t really experienced falling in love. We have a kissing scene in the movie and ako raw ang first kiss niya. Piniga naman siya ni Direk Joel so I think he delivers, even in the dramatic scenes.”
Her sexy appearance as FHM cover was a big hit and the issue was quickly sold out. Will she do it again? “No, hindi na, yun na yun. But I’m glad that people tell me they really like it. Dito sa ‘Lady Next Door’, I have another scene na naka-swimsuit din ako so abangan nyo.”
