After the success of their first movie pairing Catch Me, I’m in Love earlier this year, Gerald Anderson admitted that he is looking forward to his next big screen project with Sarah Geronimo. With the yet untitled film still in the planning stages, Gerald said it might take some time for him to get some bonding time with the Popstar Princess. “Nasa meeting stage pa lang yung next movie namin. Inaayos-ayos pa siyempre yung mga schedule. Dun kami naging friends sa unang movie namin pero hindi ibig sabihin na dahil wala ng movie, hindi na rin kami friends. Yung friendship namin at yung professionalism, yun yung importante ngayon, lalo na that we might be starting on a new movie. Siyempre gusto rin namin sana na ganun rin success nung first movie namin. Tuloy-tuloy lang. Siyempre yung friendship yun yung foundation namin. Yung friendship namin yung importante ngayon, na ma-maintain yun,” he shared.The 22-year-old actor also explained why it is not always important that his onscreen chemistry with Sarah must translate offscreen as well. “Kasi hindi dapat pinipilit sa isang tao kasi kapag may chemistry kayo, hindi po kailangan pilitin. So siguro nakita nung mga tao na may chemistry nga kami and we’re happy for that. Tulad ng sinabi ko dati, dapat hayaan mo lang ang mangyayari, mangyayari. Dahan-dahan lang. Kumbaga step by step. Huwag na po natin pilitin. Kumbaga, kasi sobrang saya namin kapag nagkikita kami, kapag may mga ganitong events, let’s leave it at that muna,” he stressed.
Gerald, who is single at the moment, says he is not courting anybody for now. “My love life is okay naman, steady lang. Ngayon nag-fo-focus ako sa mga ginagawa kong projects ngayon na malapit na ipapalabas. Pero sobrang daming dapat abangan. Teleserye yun na malapit na ipalabas,” he shared.
Gerald also shared that he is not intimidated by Sarah’s Mommy Divine, who is reportedly strict when it comes to her daughter’s would-be suitors. “Alam mo nakasama ko si Mommy Divine for three months, almost everyday nag-shu-shooting kami sa movie. Sobra akong napapa-bilib talaga sa kanya, sa pamilya nila, kay Sarah. Wala naman dapat ikatakot kasi alam mo na buo talaga yung pamilya nila,” he shared.
Gerald also added that when the time comes that he does decide to court someone, it will be when he is fully ready to get into a relationship again. “Dapat lang sure ka. Kahit sinong liligawan ko siyempre dapat okay ako sa pamilya niya, okay ka sa lahat kahit sa mga kaibigan niya para mas malaki yung chance mo ‘di ba?” he said.
Gerald also commented on how impressed he was by Sarah’s dancing skills after taking lessons abroad for a few weeks. “Matagal rin siyang nawala sa ASAP, dun kami talaga nagkikita. Siyempre na-miss din siya ng madaming tao. Oo naman na-miss ko din siya kasi. Lagi kaming magkasama dun. Napansin ko lalo siyang gumaling sa pagsayaw. Talagang sobrang hataw niya. Iba yung stage presence niya nung bumalik siya. Sabi ko sa kanya pumuti siya,” he said.
Now that he was recently launched as Globe Prepaid’s newest endorser along with Sarah, Gerald admitted that he feels more comfortable with her now. “Nagkaroon na rin ako ng lakas ng loob at confidence na hingin yung number niya dahil lalo na magkasama na kami sa Globe. Hihingiin ko pa lang. Number lang naman. Wala namang ibig sabihin yun,” he said.
