At age 45, established actor Joko Diaz is starring in a sexy psycho-thriller film and, on Friday, January 7, pointed that he did not impose much of a boundary doing his role.
“Wala naman tayong mas’yadong boundaries,” he said during the virtual media conference of the sexy psycho-thriller movie Kinsenas, Katapusan.
Diaz pointed out that his main assignment was to “guide” the new generation of artists.
“Sa totoo lang, I’m here to help the new ones. Kumbaga yun ang assignment ko dito sa pelikulang ‘to. I have to help yung mga bagong pasok para naman ma-establish nila ang mga sarili nila.”
Moreover, the actor shared that he could not reject the project because of its story and the character that he was about to play.
“Nag-usap muna kami ni Boss Vic, nag-usap muna kami ni Direk. Kasi it was a good project. Hindi ko siya para hindian. Kasi parang hindi ko pa nagagampanan ‘tong role na ‘to eh. We set some boundaries lang tapos after no’n wala na, okay na, nakasakay na ako agad sa project.”
He also said that his boss, Vic del Rosario, knows the projects that he is best suitable for.
“Nagtitiwala ako sa direktor at s’yempre sa ating Boss Vic dahil hindi naman siya magbibigay ng isang proyekto na alam niyang hindi ko kakayanin.”
Recently, Diaz has been on a roll, having been included in several upcoming Viva films (Hugas and Siklo), and was happy for the opportunities given to him. He believes that Boss Vic has a plan for his talents and Vivamax.
“I’m happy naman kung saan ako nilalagay ni Boss Vic. I think he has a plan for Vivamax and for the other artists para sa kanilang mga career. So I’m here to help everybody because I’m an employee of Viva. And kung ano ang sabihin nang boss natin, susundin natin.”
Kinsenas, Katapusan is directed by GB Sampedro and includes Kier Legaspi and a breed of Viva sexy stars in Ayanna Misola, Angela Morena, Jamilla Obispo, and Janelle Tee.
Catch it on February 4, only on Vivamax.
