Vivamax star Clifford Pusing recently shared an intriguing personal anecdote during a press conference for his upcoming film, ‘Ang Kapitbahay.’
The film, which also features Christine Bermas and Chester Grecia, explores themes of romance and neighborly dynamics.
Pusing, who plays a key role in the film, recounted a story from his teenage years when he developed a crush on a neighboring girl. The two became close, and Pusing’s feelings grew stronger. However, his attraction took an unexpected turn when he discovered that the girl he admired was actually his cousin.
The revelation came during a family reunion, where Pusing was stunned to learn of the familial connection.
“After a month, may family reunion kami, nagulat ako nandoon sya. Yun pala pinsan ko,” he shared.
“Naudlot po,” when asked if his fantasies ended abruptly.
This discovery quickly put an end to his romantic interest in her.
