MANILA, Philippines - Known for being one of the most conservative
stars of her generation, actress-host Toni Gonzaga agreed for the first
time to wear a bathing suit for a film project.
Gonzaga topbills the Star Cinema film "This Guy's In Love With You Mare" with Vice Ganda and Luis Manzano.
The actress-host, dubbed as the country's "Multimedia Queen,"
believes she is old enough to wear a bathing suit for the big screen.
"First time ito. Para kay direk (Wenn Deramas). Ngayon lang, sandali
lang 'yung eksena na 'yon," said Gonzaga, who stressed that she did it
because she trusts the movie's director.
"Si direk Wenn [napapayag ako]. Kasi alam ko naman kapag si direk
Wenn ang gumawa ng eksena ay hindi naman bastos eh. Comedy kasi ang
ginagawa namin. Hindi naman ito 'yung maselang pelikula na may mga love
scene or bed scene," she explained.
Produced by Star Cinema, "This Guy's In Love With You Mare" shares the complicated, unique and fun-filled love triangle story of Gemma (Gonzaga), Mike (Manzano) and Lester (Ganda).
Last June, Gonzaga showed off her slim figure for a health magazine.
