After a break-up with her non-showbiz boyfriend several months ago, Max Collins proudly declared that she is single and that she’s enjoying her status at the moment. But for those who wish to ask her out on a date this Valentine’s Day, better try harder since she’s got other plans.
“Siguro magpapahinga lang muna ako or magde-date kami ng mga girl friends kong single din,” said Max.
Rumor has it that kapuso hunk Pancho Magno has his sights set on Max Collins. The model/actor apparently named Max as his crush in showbiz. How does Max feel about it?
“I’m flattered. Actually, I haven’t been introduced to him and hindi ko pa siya naka-trabaho. Nakaka-shock, but I’m flattered. Sana I meet him in person one day,” the actress suggested.
Does Pancho fit into Max’s description of an ideal boyfriend material?
“I don’t know him as a person pa kasi e. I’m look more into the personality of the person kasi e. Kung funny siya, baka puwede kasi mahilig ako sa mga funny na guys, may sense of humor,” said Max. “Ang gusto ko ay ‘yong mabait, malambing at mapagkumbaba. Mas gusto ko sana wala sa showbiz,” she added.
Newbie kapuso actor Benjamin Alves was the last showbiz personality who was linked to Max and both admitted to going out on dates especially during the time when they were paired as a love team in the now defunct primetime series, “Coffee Prince.”
According to Max, her relationship with Benjamin didn’t go beyond the dating stage. After “Coffee Prince” ended, the dating eventually waned down.
Max says she’s not really in a hurry to be in a relationship and that as much as possible she wants a non-showbiz boyfriend. In fact, all his past boyfriends were not from the show business.
“Mas gusto ko yung non-showbiz para hindi magulo (laughs),” she reasoned.
Having a non-showbiz boyfriend also has its drawbacks: non-showbiz boyfriends usually find it hard to see their showbiz girlfriends do intimate scenes with co-actors, and most of the time this causes conflicts in the relationship. Is Max not worried about this?
“Kung mahal niya talaga ako, kailangan tanggapin niya na it comes with me,” said Max.
Watch Max Collins in “Pahiram ng Sandali” from Monday to Friday on GMA’s Telebabad (primetime) block.
