Ikinatutuwa ko kasi yung mga</i> feedback <i>puro</i> positive,<i> lahat nag</i>-<i>e</i>-enjoy. <i>Hindi nasayang yung pera nila kaya ang sarap din nung pakiramdam na ganun di ba</i>? First movie <i>ko na pagbibidahan tapos natutuwa yung mga tao kaya ang sarap ng</i> feeling <i>na ganun</i>,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>One of his biggest fans is girlfriend Bea Alonzo who was with him during the Bromance premiere on May 14. “<i>Siya yung may pinakamalakas na tawa dun sa sinehan kasi lahat na lang ng eksena tinatawanan. Nanuod siya nung</i> opening screening. <i>Lahat na lang ng eksena tinawanan niya. Tuwang tuwa din siya dun sa mga ibang</i> cast,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Zanjoe said he is proud of being offered challenging roles that are far from his real character like his gay character Brandy in Bromance. “<i>Hindi naman ako natatakot na kahit paulit-ulit kong gawin yun kasi kung gusto naman nila, kung gusto naman ng tao</i>… <i>Bakit si Mang</i> Dolphy <i>diyan naman, marami siyang pelikula na gustong-gusto ko na bading yung</i> role<i> niya so hindi naman ako natatakot na ma</i>-typecast,” he explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>If ever he would be offered a role with a gay kissing scene, Zanjoe said he would consider it. “<i>Depende siguro sa tema kung medyo</i> art film <i>siya o di puwede kung ipanglalaban sa mga</i> festival. <i>Pero kung pangbata o pang-masa, hindi naman siguro patok yung mga ganung klaseng eksena. Depende talaga sa</i> project,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 30-year-old actor said he does not know how Bea would react to watching it but they can just cross the bridge if ever that situation will happen. “<i>Hindi ko masagot pa kung paano, hindi ko rin iniisip kung paano ko gagawin, kung hindi ba ako maiilang. Kasi may mga eksena sa</i> <i>Bromance na</i> first scene <i>ko</i> with Carlo Romero (who plays Brandy’s straight boyfriend)<i> halata mo pa na naiilang ako kasi</i> first time <i>din namin nagkatrabaho. Pero nung tumagal naman naging normal na lang kaya lang yung mga ganyang klaseng parang papasok lang siya sa mga</i> art film <i>talaga na talagang panlaban sa</i> festival, <i>pang-ganun, pang-ibang bansa. Parang hindi siya tatanggapin dito sa atin. Parang kung gagawin ko yun at ipapaplabas dito, parang hindi rin i-e-ere, i-ku</i>-cut <i>din, puputulin din</i>,” he explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>The model-turned-actor said he would also be open to doing roles in movies like the iconic 1985 Peque Gallage film Scorpio Nights if given the opportunity. “<i>Yun kasi yung unang pumasok sa isip ko nung sinabi na kung babalik ba sa pagpapa</i>-sexy, <i>ganun</i>. <i>Siguro naging</i> time<i> ko kasi yun nung</i> ‘90s ‘<i>di ba</i>? <i>Hindi naman ako nagsasarado ng pinto sa mga ganung klaseng roles. At saka maganda yung storya niya, hindi naman ito para lang. Sana mabigyan ng iba’t ibang klaseng </i>role<i> ako </i>after <i>ng Bromance sana mabigyan pa ako ng isa pang pelikula na</i> comedy <i>ulit na makakapagpasaya sa mga tao</i>,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Catch Zanjoe Marudo in Bromance now showing in theaters nationwide.
