MANILA, Philippines – Gerald Anderson was pleasantly surprised when rumored girlfriend Sarah Geronimo accidentally called him “babe” in a VTR aired during the pilot episode of her show, “Sarah G Live!,” last Sunday.
“Kung napanood niyo, nagulat din ako do’n. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko po alam kung bakit nangyari ‘yon. Siyempre nagulat ako, at the same time, kinilig din ako, nanginig ang tuhod ko no’n,” the actor admitted during a recent press conference for “Budoy,” as quoted by Push.com.ph in an article posted on Feb. 29.
That particular scene showed the two singing karaoke inside a yacht. Sarah, while browsing the song catalog, blurted out, “Hanap lang ako, babe.” Both Sarah and Gerald looked surprise after, with the former trying to save the situation by explaining that the song they were singing has “babe” in the lyrics.
But he made it clear that he and the pop princess are not a couple.
“As much as gusto ko’ng sabihin na kami, we’re friends and hindi po ako nagsisinungaling sa inyo,” he insisted, adding that he’s “very proud” and “really happy” being her friend.
However, in another part of the interview, Gerald directly stated that he likes Sarah, who serves as his “inspiration.”
“Just thinking about her puts a smile on my face, pero at the same time, nirerespeto ko po ‘yung pamilya niya. Kumbaga kung ano ang stand nila, kumbaga si Sarah ‘andoon pa siya sa stage na hindi pa siya ready na magkaroon ng boyfriend o ka-relasyon…” he was quoted as saying.
In other news, Sarah revealed that she still gets intimidated by John Lloyd Cruz despite starring with him in two movies previously.
“’Yung mga sagot niya alam mo ‘yung talagang ang lalim so dun ako hanga talaga sa kanya, at saka 'yung pagiging magaling talaga niyang actor,” the performer said in an interview also by Push, Wednesday.
Sarah and John Lloyd is set to start filming the third installment to their box-office hits “A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life” next month. But according to her, she remains “amazed” being paired with him until now.
“Nakaka-mesmerize ‘yung galing niya as an actor at saka ‘yung intelligence niya,” she added.
Sarah, who used to think that John Lloyd was “masyadong nakakatakot” and “nakakatakot i-approach,” now describes him as “kalog,” “masayang ka-trabaho,” “hindi madamot,” and “kahit anong klase ng tao kayang-kaya niyang pakisamahan ng maayos.”
