For showbiz newcomer Sunshine Guimary, physical looks do not appeal much, not even age. What she likes in a person is the attitude.
Guimary spoke about what traits she finds attractive in a man during the online press conference for “Shoot, Shoot!” last Friday, Oct. 1. The movie, which also stars Andrew E. and AJ Raval, starts streaming via Vivamax on Oct. 8.
“Attitude matters talaga. Siyempre, unang-una, spark matters. Yes, ‘yun ‘yung importante sa akin. From the start alam mo ‘yung tinginan pa lang may meaning na. ‘Yun ‘yung start na importante sa akin at ‘yung ugali,” she said.
(Attitude really matters. Of course, number one, spark matters. Yes, that’s what’s important to me. From the start, you would know if just looking at each other already has meaning. That’s what’s important to me right at the start, and the attitude.)
She also likes a guy who is kind, respectful and devoid of vices.
Because she’s playing a sexy character, Guimary was asked how she managed to keep her sex appeal in use despite the film being a comedy.
“Mahirap especially kung si Andrew E. ‘yung ka-eksena,” she said. (It’s hard especially if Andrew E. is your partner in a scene.)
Guimary admitted that the rapper-comedian is her idol and she used to watch his movies in the past.
“Noong naka-eksena ko na siya, mahirap i-maintain ‘yung pagiging serious. Sa sexy part, ewan ko, wala akong masabi,” the actress said.
(When I finally did a scene with him, it’s hard to maintain being serious. As for the sexy part, I don’t know, I got nothing to say.)
“May signature kasi si Kuya Andrew E. na pakengkoy. Binabago niya ang mukha niya sa camera, sa set. Iba ‘yung Andrew E behind the scene at iba talaga siya during the take,” she said.
(Andrew E has a signature style which is funny. He changes how his face looks in front of the camera, while on set. The Andrew E. behind the scenes is different from him during the take.) JB
