Is the young Kapuso star intimidated by the comedy legends?
By AEDRIANNE ACAR
Armed with a smile that lights up the entire room, Jake Vargas has proven that he's not just a Kapuso tween star, but a serious and talented actor.
After the successful run of his teen oriented weekend show Tween Hearts, the young star did not rest on his laurels and worked on improving his skills.
Currently, he is a regular in the comedy program Pepito Manaloto: Ang Tunay na Kuwento as Chito and in the primetime series Strawberry Lane opposite Kapuso actress and real-life girlfriend Bea Binene.
He also plays Dimitri in another sitcom starring Bossing Vic Sotto, Vampire Ang Daddy Ko.
In an interview with GMANetwork.com, Jake revealed that he still feels the pressure of working with the country’s comedy heavyweights: Vic and Michael V. He added that the two are both hilarious on TV, but are completely opposites off-camera.
“Ibang-iba kasi si Kuya Bitoy. Ma-joke siya 'pag ganyan sa mga eksena kahit hindi pa-take. Off-cam maloko siya lagi siyang nagbibiro, nagjo-joke siya tatawa kami.”
“Si Bossing naman parang medyo serious, pero 'pag umarte nakakatawa. Ganun ‘yung pinagkaiba nila kaya nakakatuwa silang dalawa. Nakaka-pressure din minsan,” Jake said.
It has been a fruitful year for the protégé of German Moreno. After doing several TV projects and commercial endorsements, we asked the Kapuso actor what he wants to achieve next year after accomplishing so many things in 2014.
Jake said, “Actually, nagawa ko ‘yung dream ko, ‘yung dream ko na parang medyo horror siya, pero may fight scene. ‘Yun ‘yung dream ko na parang may fight scene na ginagawa lumilipad-lipad.”
“Actually, nagawa ko na naman 'yun. So siguro etong mga susunod na years pa, siguro blessings na rin. 'Tsaka health na huwag pabayaan ni Lord ‘yung resistansya ko, ‘yung katawan ko” saad ng binata.
