Ion Perez said that he feels pressured with his upcoming film “Kaka” where he will be the lead actor. He is set to star with Sunshine Guimary which will also be the launching film of the sexy star.
Ion Perez is a model-turned TV host in the noontime show ‘It’s Showtime.’ He was previously an escort in the show’s segment called ‘Miss Q&A.’ He is currently in a relationship with Vice Ganda who is one of the show’s mainstays.
During the movie’s zoom conference, Ion mentioned that his role in his upcoming film will be very different from his personality in ‘It’s Showtime.’
“Alam niyo naman po kung ano ang character ko sa ‘Showtime.”
“Nakaka-pressure para sa akin ang role ko dito sa ‘Kaka.’ Unang pelikula na ako ang leading man. Hindi biro ito,” he said.
‘Kaka’ is a sex-comedy film that will be directed by director GB San Pedro. The film is set to start its shooting the following month.
When asked if he’s willing to do love scenes with his co-star, Ion said that he will do everything that he can to commit to the role.
“‘Yan po ang aabangan ng mga tao,” he said.
“Kung ano po ang dapat na gawin, talagang susubukan kong gawing mabuti,” he added.
Even though the shooting will take place next month, Ion admitted that he can already feel the pressure for the role. He said that he always studies the script and his role.
“Inaaral ko ang script, lagi kong binabasa. Kung paano gumalaw ang isang anak mayaman. Alam ko mahirap dahil first time kong gagawin ang role,” said Ion.
“Laki ako sa hirap. Nahihirapan ako kung paano kumilos ang isang anak mayaman. Hihingi na lang siguro ako ng tips sa mga kaibigan ko kung ano ang dapat kong gawin,” he added.
The 30-year old host also said that his partner, Vice Ganda, is supportive of his venture.
“Humihingi ako ng tips sa kanya.”
“Alam naman po natin si Meme. Pagdating sa ganyan, professional naman ‘siya. Sinuportahan naman ako. Walang problema sa kanya,” he explained.
“Sabi niya sa akin, ‘Kaya mo ‘yan. Tataya ako sa ‘yo. May tiwala ako sa ‘yo.’ So aaralin ko talaga si Levi,” he added.
Additionally, Ion said that he feels a bit shy with his kissing scene with his leading lady, but will just do his best because the scene is a part of his role.
“Ako naiilang sa kissing scene.”
“Pero kung talagang kailangan, bahala na si Superman,” he said.
