SHOWBIZ denizens are almost always a cautious bunch particularly when disĀcussing personal affairs.
Then again, there are times they are only too willing to open up, answering even the most inane of queries in the name of fun.
Thatās exactly what actor-singer JM de Guzman allowed us recently.
Hereās an excerpt:
Hey man, looking good.
Thanks. Iāve been working out. So far, Iāve lost 12 pounds.
Thatās nice. Whatās your motivation? A new girl, perhaps?
(Laughs) āNo. It was a choice. I wanted to lose weight for the longest time. To feel good, to look good. But I was too busy with work.ā
And youāre bound to get busy again. You just signed anew with ABS-CBN, right?
āYeah. I have an upĀcoming TV series, and a film already in the works. And I just finĀished my new album.ā
And you also have a brand new endorsement, too.
āYeah. Itās JM Shawarma.ā
Is it your own business?
āBecause of the name? No. ActuĀally, many thought it was my own pero itās just coincidence that itās called JM Shawarma. But Iām planĀning to invest on a franchise. Did you taste it?ā
Yup, we did. It was good.
āI know, right? Thatās why I want to go beyond just endorsing the product.ā
Are you a shawarma guy?
āAll my life. Actually my father introĀduced me to shawarma. He used to bring me to shawarma joints when I was a kid.ā
So weāre thinking youāre bringĀing your Valentineās date to the nearest JM Shawarma kiosk?
āI donāt think I will have a ValenĀtineās date this year.ā
But how about Barbie (ImpeĀrial)?
(Laughs)
Uhm, weāll take that as a no. Anyway have you shared your shawarma with Barbie alĀready?
(Laughs) not yet but if ever, I will let her have the best tasting variĀant, the all-meat JM Shawarma.ā
