SA nakaraang presscon para sa “Team Real” book ng tambalang JaDine ay tinanong si James Reid kung ano ang reaksyon niya sa mga sinasabi ng bashers na hindi sila bagay ni Nadine Lustre. Bagama’t matagal nang sinagot ni James sa mga nakaraan nilang presscon na hindi siya pumapatol sa bashers, pero sa librong “Team Real” ay sinagot din nila ito ng kanyang girlfriend.
“Actually, I didn’t want to do that part of the book. I did (answer) but I didn’t want to because in real life, I would never answer to bashers. That was for the sake of you know, (fans), to share what’s in my head,” paliwanag ng aktor.
Dagdag na sagot ni James sa sinabing hindi sila bagay ni Nadine, “What are you talking about?” Nasa libro rin ang quote ng isang basher na nagsabing pangit ang ilong at malaki ang panga ni Nadine. Sagot ng aktres, “I love myself!” Hirit naman ni James, “I love herself, too. I really don’t care about that stuff. It happens to all celebrities, there’s nothing to do about it.”
Sa tanong kung bakit “Team Real” ang titulo ng libro na tila may parinig sa ibang magka-loveteam na hindi naman “real” ang relasyon. “I think, it was before the fans would say, ‘it’s just real’, so that was really pertaining to us, we’re not really talking about anyone else. It’s really for the fans,” sagot ni James.
Isa pang bahagi ng libro ay ang tanong kay James kung paano ba ang maging hot tulad niya? “If you ask me if I think I’m goodloo-king, I’d say yes. But of course, I still have days when I wake up and think I look terrible. There’s nothing you can do about that. You just have to love yourself if you want other people to love you.”
May insecurities din daw si James, “I think I’m short and I wish that I were taller. It bothers me sometimes, but I never let it stop me from doing anything. There are guys who are taller than me, more buff, but whatever. For me, it’s easy not to be overwhelmed by insecurities, because I just think, ‘This is who I am. This is James!’”
Samantala, matapos nilang pasiyahin ang fans sa Sacramento, California noong January, pumuno ng Dubai at Qatar concert legs, at pinagsama-sama ang mga Filipino communities sa London at Milan noong March, biyaheng Singapore naman sina James Reid at Nadine Lustre para sa final destination ng “JaDine Love World Tour” ng The Fi-lipino Channel (TFC) sa Max Pavilion ngayong June 26.
Unang pinagsama sa “Ang Diary ng Panget,” nagpatuloy ang kanilang pagtatambal sa “Talk Back and You’re Dead” at maging sa teleserye na nga-yon ay tinagurian bilang isa sa pinakasikat na teleserye sa kasaysayan ng Philippine television – ang On The Wings of Love. Dahil sa kasikatan ng show, nakabuo ito ng following ng mga fans na tinaguriang OTWOListas. Ngayon, pati book venture at pati music scene ay sinakop na ng dalawa.
Ngayong Linggo, sasariwain nila ang pinaka-me-morable na moments nila sa teleserye via “JaDine Love World Tour” at ibabahagi ang elements ng kanilang Manila concert kung saan nagkick-off ang world tour at umamin si Reid sa totoong nararamdaman kay Lustre.
