Baron Geisler umaming bipolar: ‘When I’m sober, I’m the sweetest guy’

Baron sets it straight: “When I’m drunk, I have an alter ego”

Hindi na bago sa marami na parati na lamang nasasangkot sa gulo ang aktor na si Baron Geisler simula nang lisanin nito ang kanyang teeny-bopper image.

Kasabay nang pag-amin na talagang mahilig siya sa alcohol, umamin din si Baron sa Inquirer.net na siya ay semi-bipolar, at he is under medication but refuses to take them dahil iba nga raw ang epekto nito sa kanya.

“I love to drink. I’m semi-bipolar. I don’t like taking my meds because it makes me slow. It makes me super slow like when I work. That’s why I really need to exercise, wake up call na rin to for me, I guess”, ayon sa aktor.

Pero ano nga ba ang dahilan kung bakit tila “beast” ang lumalabas sa kanyang pagkatao tuwing napapainom siya?

“I have an alter ego – that’s the ‘Beast mode’ Baron”

Sey pa ng aktor, hindi naman palagi siyang “ready to attack”.  Kapag nasa normal state of mind daw siya, yun ang best version ng kanyang pagiging Baron Geisler.   Huwag lang anya siyang mapo-provoke dahil tiyak na lalabas ang worse version siya.

“I have an alter ego, that’s the “Beast mode” Baron. When I’m sober, I’m the sweetest guy ever, kahit naman nakainom, sweet rin naman ako but there are levels kasi eh. Merong Baron 1 and Baron 2 pag umiinom”, dagdag pa ng aktor.

“Baron 1 pag lasing or nakainom lang ng tipsy he’s very nakakatawa, he makes jokes, he’s very malambing he’s very caring. I’m very aware sa surroundings ko”, sey nito.

But when the going gets rough and Baron 1 gets ‘provoked’, Baron 2 comes to the rescue and the rumble begins.

“And then Baron 2 is the I don’t care guy tara let’s go sapakan na”, paliwanag pa nito.

“Like diyan lang sa kanto jan, I wanna apologize to these guys, nabibigwasan ko talaga and they’d run. Kahit na ka-height ko, maggraple din kami eh and then fight, pero hindi kaya, tatakbo (his opponents). (As to attacking without reason) May cause naman, pero hindi ako umuurong, wag lang pag lima sila, pero pag one-on-one na parang may magbabastos sakin, di ako aatras, but I wanna apologize that’s why I’m confident to fight Kiko Matos”, Geisler explains.

“Sanay ako sa streetfights. (More street fights that are not publicized) Of course. Sobrang dami. That’s why na-realize ko din, o this is a really good opportunity to fight in the cage para rin magkadisiplina kami pati na rin yung mga tao na o if you wanna settle your differences, sa cage na lang or at least, bumili kayong gloves, punta kayo sa isang gym, suntukan kayo dun tignan natin kung sinong ano. Kasi I’ve learned my lesson na rin because I want to change na rin eh, I want to change my ways coz like kunwari pupunta ko sa bar diyan, ngayon takot na ko, peacemode na rin ako eh, ayoko na ng may mga kaaway eh. Ayoko rin na may nilolokong babae, ayokong may nasasaktan na ganon. So somehow, I just want to make peace with everyone that I’ve hurt, physically, emotionally and probably verbally na rin as well.

Despite his tigerish image, sinabi ng aktor na never daw siyang nanakit ng babae.

“I never hit women”, he said.
