Aga Mulach blushes when he admits that doing the passionate kissing scene in his new movie with Regine Velasquez made him nervous. Why did he feel that way when he kissed his other leading ladies before?
Aga smiles, “Regine is my crush, my idol because she sings very well. So it was natural that I would get nervous and would shy away around her. But when we shot that scene, it was a nice day. We even had background music while we were shooting it.”
Regine shares, “It’s my first time to do a passionate scene on-screen, but I agreed because I knew that Aga wouldn’t take advantage. He’s a real gentleman! When we were about to do that scene, I was so tense. Doing a kissing scene can be uncomfortable but I wasn’t nervous.
“Aga’s hands were cold. He even asked me, ‘How am I going to kiss you?’ And I said, ‘No tongue, please.’ When you’re doing the movie, a lot of people are on the set and they watch, so even if I wanted to enjoy it, I couldn’t ! I guess, it’s better to kiss in private, when you’re in love.”
Aga discloses that he fell for Regine but he had to control his feelings
because he wanted to
get to know her first and follow their friendship to develop naturally.
What are Regine’s endearing qualities?
“She’s a funny girl! She’s nice and patient. I know I’m always behind when I get to the set but she’s always smiling and nice even if I make her wait,” Aga relates.
“It’s okey. He buys Starbucks coffee when he arrives,” Regine jests.
“When we were in Dumaguete, we were exposed under the sun and we burned because we had a very long talk, but she never complained. She brings us food on the set. I have discovered new things about her and I know that she still wants to pursue a lot of her dreams. I want her to fulfill all her dreams first. After that…” - Aga sighs.
Regine admits that she initially admired Aga’s good looks but she didn’t fall for him because she doesn’t believe in love at first sight. So, what does she like about
him?
“Aga is a lovable guy. While we were shooting ‘Dahil May Isang Ikaw,’ he would sing to me these lines from a song: ‘Close to me, you’re like my father; close to me, you’re like my mother,’ but he wouldn’t sing the chorus this ‘All my life, I waited for someone like you/ And I thank God, that I finally found you.’
“Usually, the singers I’ve known would be so shy to sing in front of me and they’re singers. But Aga he doesn’t shy away from me! If he hears James Ingram song, he would say, ‘Can you hear that? Plakadong, plakado ko yan!’ It’s fun with him,” Regine giggles, then turns pensive.
“Guys are intimidated by me, I’m not really magnetic/attracting type. And it takes so long for me to really warm up to a person. Some people think that they really know me but they don’t! I’m a very complex person. Sometimes, I contradict myself.
“I think a guy should really get to know me and I should get to know him. That is important to me the friendship. Aga is a great-looking guy, but it goes beyond that. I prefer that love will develop, because I’m able to accept him. It’s not just attraction.”
