MATTEO Guidicelli was caught off guard when a guy commented on how fat he looks like in Bagani.
“Story that started my day at work…a random dude comes up to me and says ‘Sir pinapanood kita sa Bagani, ang taba mo doon. Pero hindi ka pala mataba sa personal!’ — then I look at him in the eyes.
What should I tell him?” came Matteo’s recent post.
Aba, nag-comment si Teddy Locsin, Jr. sa post niyang iyon, ha.
“At the New Podium, over at Omikashi restaurant on the 5th, old friend sees me and smiles widely, ‘Wow, nice to see you again. Ang taba mo, sobrang taba, anong kinakain mo, buong baduy?’ I tried to explain but gave up, ‘I have no appetite abroad, you see, I barely eat and…’” Teddy commented.
Some followers did comment also.
“Cool! By the way, regarding that random dude, give him Century Tuna, lol!”
“Sadly, TV does add on the pounds. This is why some of our female stars tend to overcompensate. They diet too much to appear slimmer on TV and end up thinner than average.”
“Mataba? I mean, the camera does add on weight (leading to celebs thinning down and what not-especially women)… but… how? This is like an example of how media in general create these ‘perfect bodies’ and if one doesn’t fit that, then they automatically ‘fat’ when they aren’t.”
Incidentally, ‘yung episode where Bagani showed the fight between Lakas (Enrique Gil) and Lakam (Matteo) was one of the highest rating episode as it got a national TV rating of 33%.
