JUST A THOUGHT: “I like to have nice conversations with a man that teach me something, make me mad, make me curious. Then, I find him attractive.” – Renee Zellweger

SERIOUS ACTOR: “When I became an actor, it became serious. That’s when I realized it has got to be passion that is driving you. It can’t be just about work. You have to give it your best, you have to give it your 100 per cent!” – @ piolo_pascual
Piolo, ranked as the country’s foremost leading man with a career spanning 25 years, was among the guests of the May 4 episode of the online fundraiser “Extend the Love Cinema: Actor’s Cue”.
The 43-year old veteran was joined by Rhydian Vaughan of Taiwan and Nicholas Saputra of Indonesia on the virtual panel.
The roundtable, whose topics ranged from the actors’ beginnings to their process on set, was moderated by Adolfo Alix, Jr.

TURNAROUND: Piolo reiterated what he has always said in previous interviews. When he entered showbiz, his motivation was purely economic.
He said, ‘’It was all about money, at least in the beginning.’’
“My motivation was just to really earn and work.’’
It was in the mid-stream of his career when he realized acting had become a passion for him.
The two-hour stream raises funds for displaced film workers amid COVID-19 crisis.
Extend the Love Cinema has so far raised P160,000.
An earlier edition of the same fundraiser featured online conversations with Elizabeth Oropesa, Jaclyn Jose, Gina Alajar, and Lorna Tolentino.
