We have seen the dramatic side of Victor Aliwalas sa ilang shows ng GMA, pero this time around may ibang ipapakita ang hunk na ito sa kanyang bagong movie.
Itong taon, may isang movie na siguradong inaabangan ng lahat. And for one of its co-stars, Victor Aliwalas, this is an exciting project where his comedic side can be tested as well. Text by Erick Mataverde. Photos by Connie M. Tungul. Nang makausap ng iGMA si Victor Aliwalas sa set ng upcoming comedy flick, Whatever Yaya! Spoiled Brat: The Movie, halata ang saya niyang ma-involve dito. "Excited ako kasi this is a very funny project, and actually this is my first comedy. I've done movies before, but the other ones medyo serious or medyo drama, so ito mas masaya ito," he confessed. And, true enough, panibagong Victor ang mapapanood natin sa movie na ito. Though, as Victor reveals na, "actually, lahat ng roles ko seryoso. However, in real life, siyempre, I like to joke around and goof off." And ano ba ang gagawin ng ating Kapuso hunk sa pelikulang ito? He replied, "Ako po yung driver ni Jomari (Yllana), bagay yun! Actually, I love driving pero mahirap talaga dito sa Manila (mag-drive)." As for his co-stars dito - tuwang-tuwa siya sa kanila dahil fresh na naman ang samahan nila on-set. "I love working with Sheena (Halili), kasi sobrang mabait siya, at makulit din siya," declares Victor. "We met noon sa Marimar tapos Kapangpangan din siya. All I know of the dialect though is, "Wa." The other ones I can't say here!" Alam din natin na he came fresh from serious roles in Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan and the just concluded SRO Sinemaserye presents: 'Ganti'. Kaya we asked him kung kamusta ang shift niya into comedy. "Actually mas madali ito, kasi its less of a pressure, you just go with the flow. Kind of just go with the flow." he answered. "Si Ogie (Alcasid) at si Bitoy (Michael V.), nakakatawa sila, sobrang mabait, and yeah, they seem easy going. I'm really excited kasi malaki ang fan base nila, sikat na sila so they really have a lot of fans." At napakalaki ng respeto ni Victor sa mga lead stars ng Whatever Yaya! Spoiled Brat: The Movie. Victor says of the comedic tandem: "Actually, I've had the opportunity to work with them in Hole in the Wall and maraming guestings. Si Bitoy he's an avid photographer and he's been teaching me a lot. I brought my digital camera last time – he taught me about my [camera's] settings. I consider him like my photography teacher. He had a lot of advices to offer." For Ogie naman, na-surprised si Victor sa pagiging down-to-earth ng singer/songrwriter. "He's a funny guy! So laid back. You know when you work with people who are veterans in the business and sobrang sikat sila." he related. "Your first thought would be maybe they're suplado or maarte. Pero hindi, sobrang mabait niya. And one thing I noticed with Ogie, every time someone wants to take a picture with him, [he replies] very quickly, 'No problem!'. So he's a good guy and I have a lot of respect for him and Regine (Velasquez)." In parting, Victor shows his sense of humor when he invites the fans na manood ng Whatever Yaya! Spoiled Brat: The Movie: "Maraming, maraming salamat sa lahat ng fans, and please watch this upcoming movie of ours, 'cause this is gonna be very funny, you'll really enjoy it. Nakakatuwa talaga, actually, I hate to admit it, pero spoiled brat din ako, kasi bunso ako. Shhhhh!" Pagusapan ang pagiging komedyante ni Victor Aliwalas. Mag-log on na sa iGMAForums!
