Julian Trono on his role in Anna Karenina: ”May pagkapilyo ng konti”

Julian Trono popularly known as “Prince of the dance floor” plays the role of Brix in Anna KareNina. Brix is the love interest of Anna, being played by Krystal Reyes. He has gotten good reviews on his acting thus it will be no surprise if we see Julian in other acting projects soon.

In a recent interview with GMANetwork.com, we asked Julian Trono about his role in Anna KareNina.

“Si Brix kasi may pagkapilyo ng konti kaya naghahanap talaga siya ng paraan para makadalaw dun sa mansion, to spend time with Anna. Sa mga "da moves" ni Brix, duon nakafocus,”shared this talented young Kapuso actor about his role in the high rating Telebabad show, Anna Karenina.

Since Brix is “pilyo”, we asked whether Julian is as pilyo as Brix. “Siguro pilyo, hindi. Iyong "da moves", pwede.”

Julian revealed to us his own “da moves” when it comes to girls.

“Paghahanap ng paraan para makausap iyong gusto mo. Doon, umiiral iyong pagiging creative. Talagang humahanap ako ng paraan. Pero hindi iyong the usual na paraan, na text mo lang or whatever, parang out of the box na mga paraan.”

He added, “To catch her attention, gustuhin mo rin iyong gusto niya. Kunwari, gusto niya ng KPOP. Eh di, maging KPOP ka, parang i-tag mo iyong name mo sa gusto niya. Kunwari, mga KPOP na mga names. Tapos, gawan mo rin ng sarili mo iyong sa iyo. Kunwari Julian Trono parang Jung Yan Tongno, parang ganun.”

Julian knows what he wants in a girl and when to find the right timing, “Something na alam niya na makakarelate siya tapos ire-relate mo ngayon dun. Dun na mag-start iyong conversation.”

When it comes to love, Julian will do everything to catch the girl of his dreams. “Oo eh, nagreresearch talaga ako. As in,naghahanap ka rin ng paraan pag gusto mo talaga iyong isang tao.”

The viewers can’t tell who among Anna (Krystal Reyes), Karen (Barbie Forteza) and Nina (Joyce Ching) is the real Anna Karenina. Does he have a clue? “Actually, hindi pa rin po eh. Pero, siguro para kay Brix isa lang ang Anna Karenina, si Anna.”

Anna Karenina is the first teen role of Julian. He seems to enjoy his role and has no trouble bonding with his co-stars between breaks.

“Sobrang saya kasi magkakasama rin kami sa tent, sa standby area namin. Kanya-kanyang kulitan. Minsan sobrang tahimik, minsan sobrang gulo. Masayang masaya. Una, nakasama ko rin sila before like Barbie and Derrick so halos lahat sila nakasama ko na so walang ilangan at adjustment time.”

Julian admits that he is still in awe when it comes to Krystal Reyes, Barbie Forteza and Joyce Ching's acting skills.

“Alam kong fake lang iyon. Alam kong umaarte lang sila. Iyong effect nila sa tao, sa viewers, iba talaga!”

He described the three girls highlighting their acting skills. “Kay Anna, lalambot ang puso mo dahil sobrang bait niya. Kay Karen naman tatawa ka ng tatawa. Kay Nina naman magiging strong iyong feeling mo, medyo mataray siya. Medyo stong iyong character niya. Ang galing, sobrang galing. Sobrang bow ako sa tatlong girls namin,” he proudly stated.

With regards to his co-actors, “Sa guys, sina Derrick at Hiro, maning mani na nila ito eh. Kumbaga, been there, done that. Nagkaroon sila ng mga shows na kailangan nila magpakilig. Mga stuff na ganun, master na master na nila. So ako lang talaga iyong medyo fresh, kasi first love team ko ito. First show na may love team.”

Aside from acting and performing in Sunday All Stars, Julian still finds time to help others. Juggling his busy schedule, he still finds time to join meetings and plan for the welfare of their community.

“I’m running for SK Chairman. Iyong bahay namin parang sakop siya ng dalawang barangay. Isa medyo maayos na, isa iyong parang slum area pero maayos pa rin. Kung tatakbo man ako, hindi ako dito sa maayos. Dito ako sa may babaguhin,” ending the conversation on a good note.
