In an exclusive interview with LionhearTV, actress Sanya Lopez shared her thoughts on having older leading men.
Sanya said that having older leading men—Gabby Concepcion in First Yaya and Bong Revilla for the movie Agimat ng Agila— is just a coincidence.
“For me po, parang nagkataon lang po siguro talaga. Kasi nga po nung una kasi di ba nga po nung umpisa si Kuya Dong, tsaka si Kuya Dennis Trillo tapos ngayon si Senator Bong at si Mr. Gabby Concepcion. Kumbaga pakiramdam ko nagkataon lang,” said Sanya.
Sanya then added that she feels happy that GMA Network trusted her and partnered her with talented veteran actors.
“Siguro po depende rin po ako naman parang masaya kasi hindi ko naman inisip talaga. Imaginine nyo po, parang very thankful nga po ako eh kasi hindi ko maimagine na talagang ipagkakatiwala na i-partner sa akin itong mga taong ito. Na alam naman talaga natin na magagaling na actor. So parang dun palang humahanga na ko,” Sanya added.
Sanya said that she feels honored to be working with these men.
“Kaya po parang walang problema. Sobrang happy pa nga po ako na talagang ako yung naiisip na i-partner sa kanila. Its an honor po na mai-partner sa mga taong ito,” said Sanya.
Finally, she said that she has no problem working with much older men.
“Wala pong problema, as long po as maganda po yung story. Okay naman po sila at walang masamang ginagawa sayo. Walang pong problema yun,” said Sanya.
Sanya had previously had leading men like Pancho Magno, Rocco Nacino, and Benjamin Alves. She also worked with Dennis Trillo and DingDong Dantes before in Cain at Abel, who are both older than Sanya.
