Enrique Gil Didn't Expect to be Part of Way Back Home

Enrique Gil didn’t expect to land a role in the movie Way Back Home, much less be paired with its lead star Kathryn Bernardo. As it is, his character was supposed to be played by Albie Casiño, who used to be Kathryn’s love team in the teleserye Mara Clara. “Hindi ko talaga inasahan na mapupunta sa akin yung role kasi ginagawa ko yung Mula Sa Puso that time at alam kong may parating akong bagong soap (Budoy). Tapos may tumawag sa akin, ang sabi, ‘Magsyu-shooting ka na in two days for the movie.’ Kaya may konting kaba kasi first time kami magkakaparehas ni Kathryn. Sana pumatok sa mga fans, sana ma-enjoy nila yung mga scenes namin together,” said Enrique in a recent interview with Push.com.ph.



The 19-year-old cutie further shared that he owes a lot to director Wenn Deramas who gave him his first major break on TV. “Magandang experience for me yung naging role ko sa Mula Sa Puso kasi hindi na siya pang-tweetums. In-encourage kasi kami ni Direk Wenn na mas mature yung ipakita naming acting sa viewers. Nag-step up na yung role, pero it doesn’t mean na hindi na ako pwede sa mga pang-tweetums na role. Siyempre happy naman ako kung ano mang projects na ipagkakatiwala sa akin ng Kapamilya network.”



As for his love life, Enrique insisted that he’s not pursuing anyone at the moment. He also refuted previous reports linking him to Erich Gonzales. “Siyempre masasabi kong crush ko siya dahil mabait at maganda naman talaga si Erich. Naging close lang kami kasi hosts kami dati ng Shoutout. Tapos lumabas kami as a group ng iba naming kasamahan nung patapos na yung show. Pero hindi naman ako nanligaw [sa kanya], kasi trabaho lang talaga. Wala yun sa isip ko ngayon. Tsaka maraming nali-link sa kanya, ’di lang naman ako.”



Unlike other celebrity couples, Enrique claimed that he wouldn’t keep his relationship a secret if he truly has a girlfriend. “Kapag nagkaroon ako ng girlfriend at the right time, hindi ko ide-deny. Paano kung wrong time? Depende po eh. Kung totoo talaga, ayoko ng dine-deny ang girlfriend. Gusto ko kapag meron akong girfriend paninindigan ko. I want to be proud of it.”



Is he affected by the fact that Erich is projecting a sexier image in her latest soap, Maria La Del Barrio? “Ewan ko, I’m not in the right position para magselos. At siguro hindi naman din masyadong daring yung role niya. It's the management’s choice, so okay lang. Hindi naman siya nagpaalam sa akin. Hindi naman kailangan. Tsaka lately, wala na talaga kaming communication,” he added.
