On December 1, actor Mark Anthony Fernandez detailed his weight loss journey.
At the media event for ‘Ganti-Ganti,’ which LionhearTV covered, Fernandez remarked that he aimed to remain physically fit, especially when taking on sexy roles.
“Siguro kasi may side-effect na kahit gusto ko maghubad, di ba tumaba ako, so nakita nila akong mataba, ‘yung nakita akong fit ngayon.
“Ito talaga ‘yung weight ko, feeling ko nga ‘yung ibang artista kahit mag-overweight sila, gwapo pa rin sila. Ako ‘yung artistang hindi nasa proper weight, feeling ko wala akong dating.”
He then revealed that he started working out at 18, which he recently repeated for his recent Vivamax roles.
“Late bloomer sa pagwo-work out, nag start akong mag-work out talaga 18, kasi kapag nag-work out ka ng mga 16 or 15, baka hindi tumangkad, so parang passive na ‘yung 18 eh.”
As for his recent Vivamax project, Fernandez cited his experience working with director McArthur Alejandre.
“Always the best, always direct kapag si Direk Mac. Pangatlo nanamin ‘to, una Bela Luna, tapos ‘yung pangalawa, ay hindi una muna, Luna Mystika muna, pangalawa Bela Luna, tapos ito ‘yung Ganti-Ganti.”
He then talked about his character in the Vivamax sexy film.
“Ito ako ‘yung predecessor, isipin mo ganon ‘yung ano, pero predecessor pa siya. So ito ‘yung character na ‘yun. Tapos mayroon akong misis na mabait, inaapi ko, napunta siya na maging masama na rin dahil sa sama ng asawa niya.”
As for ‘Ganti-Ganti,’ the Vivamax film stars Angeli Khang, Yen Durano, and Sean De Guzman with Mark Anthony Fernandez and Chad Solano.
Written by the National Artist Ricky Lee and under the direction of McArthur Alejandre, ‘Ganti-Ganti’ is currently available for streaming on Vivamax.
