With his announcement on The Buzz last January 18 that he will now be known as Bebe Gandanghari, Rustom Padilla has shown the public that he has embraced his new showbiz persona as a woman. Having recently arrived from a three-month stay in US where he studied modeling, the Eva Fonda actor even shared that he one day hopes to work with his celebrity crush Richard Gomez.
Carmina Villaroel, who was married to Rustom for over three years, sees nothing wrong with her ex-husband’s decision to rename himself. “You know, wala akong masasabi eh. Siguro what I can say is [that] I have nothing to say against him, nothing bad. Because I don’t have any ill feelings towards him,” she said during the launch of the SM Supermalls Green Bag at the Mall of Asia last January 16. Carmina with partner Zoren Legaspi and their twins Maverick and Cassandra were the official celebrity endorsers of the environmental project, which encourages the public to use the recyclable bag instead of plastic ones.
The actress said she is even willing to work with Rustom in the future. “Kung maganda naman yung project, why not ‘di ba? Bottomline lang dito, hindi kami magkakaaway. Obviously, we have moved on and kung ano man yung mga nangyayari sa buhay niya, as long as he is happy, then go. Wala naman siyang sinasaktanna tao ‘di ba? Para happy,” she said.
Even Zoren, a TV director whom Rustom reportedly wants to also work with, was also open to the idea of them being in the same project. “You know, wala naman quarrel dito. Between the three of us, wala naman talaga,” he said.
