It isn’ t easy for most newbies in the biz to land a lead role. But Gil Cuerva got lucky. The 21-year-old half-Spanish model is GMA 7’s latest find. He is paired off with Jennylyn Mercado in the local adaptation of the popular Korean series, “My Love from the Star.”
With Gil’s extensive modeling experience, he definitely knows how to project—no wonder the camera loves him.
As director Joyce Bernal puts it, “Gil is pleasant to look at onscreen, and he has presence. He’s trainable and shows a lot of potential.” Looks like Gil’s baptism of fire is going to make him sizzle even more.
Here’s my chat with Gil:
What is it about show biz that you need to get used to? More people are paying attention to everything that I do now—which is different from modeling, where I just do my own thing.
How do you handle girls who flirt with you? Generally, I’ m friendly—and I don’ t like to assume that someone is flirting with me. If a girl is doing that, I don’ t think about it too much and just continue being me.
What are your thoughts on gay people? I have a lot of gay friends, and I work with them in the worlds of fashion and show biz.
