KIT THOMPSON once went missing from showbiz when he went to the States.
“I went to New York then Los Angeles,” he says.
I studied acting for one straight year then also worked at the same time. When I got an offer from Star Cinema and Quantum Films, nagustuhan ko yung projects. so umuwi ako rito and now, I’m glad nag-pick up naman ang acting career ko.”
He’s now in the cast of three new movies. For Vivamax, he did the psychosex comedy, “Sarap Mong Patayin”.
He also finished “Runaway” with Maureen Wroblewitz, shot in New Zealand, and he’s now also shooting “Moonlight Butterfly” for Direk Joel Lamangan.
He’s particularly excited by “Sarap Mong Patayin”, directed by Darryl Yap.
“I was intrigued when Direk presented the story to me kasi it’s about catfishing in social media and is so intense,” he says.
“Ako yung rape victim dito. Hindi ko alam, comedian Lassy Marquez is pretending to be Ariella Arida to get my attention at nilasing niya ako so he can do what he wants with me.
"Ang realization ko is ang hirap pala ng rape scene. I’ve done love scenes but ibang klase ito kasi para kang naka-drugs. But I’m pleased kasi ang ganda ng outcome and I’m happy with it.”
What is his opinion about catfishing?
It is so wrong and very negative, because we want the world to be a better place pero nanloloko sila ng kapwa nila. So we all have to be careful kasi andaming ganyan ngayon.
"They will get your trust and attention, then masasaktan ka lang, so you should chat responsibly and be cautious when ayaw i-reveal ng isang tao ang tunay niyang pagkatao.”
Didn’t he have any hesitation in doing the scene where Lassy Marquez violates his body?
“No, wala naman akong hesitation kasi in-explain namang mabuti sa’kin ni direk ang mangyayari. Ire-rape ako, at masarap, kasi akala ko, si Ariella Arida yung humahalik sa’kin.
"Pero yun pala, si Lassy. So I was ready for it, but I’m not sure if he took advantage of me. Siya na lang ang tanungin nyo.”
