Coco Martin On Sarah Geronimo's Reported Love Affair With Matteo Guidicelli

COCO MARTIN says Sarah Geronimo surprised him while they’re shooting “Maybe This Time”. “We’ve worked before in the TV series, ‘Idol’. First time namin kaya ang lakas ng ilangan factor. We didn’t really get to know each other. But now, dito sa movie namin, nabigla ako kasi, noong una, halos hindi ko siya mahawakan. Hindi ko alam kung paano kami magko-communicate. May limitations. But after a few days
ako na ang nagugulat sa kanya. Kasi we’re doing a love story, mayroong mga romantic na eksena, siya pang nagsasabi sa akin na, ‘Coco, yakapin mo ako.’ So nagkakaroon ako ng lakas ng loob kasi siya yung nagpapakita sa akin na ‘huwag kang mahiya, okay ako’. Ang sarap niyang katrabaho, kasi pinapakita niya ’yung involvement niya sa project. Nag-mature na talaga siyang bilang tao at bilang isang aktres.”


It’s said Sarah is in love with Matteo Guidicelli, so she’s blooming now. Does he notice this? “Mahihiya naman ako magtanong tungkol sa lovelife niya. But definitely, mas dalaga na siya at mas babae na. Nakita ko sa kanyang masaya siya ngayon. Sobrang bait niya sa lahat. Pag may fans na dumadalaw sa set, kahit sobrang pagod siya, hinaharap niya. And for me, sa lahat ng hirap, pagod, pagsasakripisyo para sa pamilya niya at paghahanda para sa future niya, siguro kung anuman ang meron si Sarah ngayon, she deserves it.”

How about him? Has he fallen in love again? “Matagal na mula noong huli ko. Siguro, dahil naging sobrang busy nga ako. Sabi ko nga sa inyo, choice ko naman ‘yun eh, na parang this time, mas gusto kong isipin ang future ko. Mas gusto kong paghandaan bago ko umibig muli. Kasi, alam ko manang lahat ng ito, balang araw, mawawala. Hindi natin alam kung hanggang kailan ito. And after that, siguro yun na yung time para intindihin ko naman yung sarili ko at yung puso ko. As of now, samantalahin ko muna itong magagandang opportunities na dumarating sa akin.”

We all know Coco is the Teleserye King with hit TV shows like “Walang Hanggan” and “Juan de la Cruz”. But it’s also common knowledge that his past movies with Angeline Quinto (“Born to Love You”) and Julia Montes (“One Moment in Time”) were not as a big a hit as they were expected. Here’s hoping his movie with Sarah will be as successful as her movies with John Lloyd Cruz and will also finally make him not a top TV actor but also a big box office star.
