Mikael may inamin tungkol kay Marian: I’m sorry, I love you…I was a jerk!

HINDI pala naging maganda ang unang pagkikita nina Mikael Daez at Marian Rivera sa audition noon ng GMA series na “Amaya”.

Aminado ang Kapuso actor na naging maangas at mayabang ang dating niya nu’ng ipakilala siya ng mga taga-production kay Marian.

Sa latest episode ng podcast ni Mikael at ng asawa niyang si Megan Young, ang #BehindRelationshipGoals, napag-usapan nila ang mga naging experience nila sa mundo ng showbiz, partikular na noong nagsisimula pa lang sila.

Dito nga naikuwento ni Mikael nu’ng time na nag-audition siya para sa seryeng “Amaya” na pinagbidahan ng Kapuso Primetime Queen. Wala pa raw talaga siyang kaalam-alam noon sa industriya ng showbiz.

“I went into an audition for GMA, the show’s called Amaya. And my manager who was also just starting off at that time was like ‘Mik, go to this.’

“I had zero idea what is an audition, never in my life had I gotten into the arts, I had no idea what an audition looked like, what you would do. To that point, I had never seen a script for anything,” simulang kuwento ni Mikael.

“I go in this huge studio, they say ‘Mik, Mik, come, we’re gonna introduce you to your leading lady, Marian Rivera.’ I think they were saying it in a way na ‘This is Marian Rivera.’ It wasn’t registering to me as anything. I had no idea how big she was at the time.

“I didn’t know anything about showbiz, the only thing I knew about Marian at that time was that she had a billboard on EDSA and she was pretty. ‘Yun lang ‘yung rumehistro when they said her name,” aniya pa.

Patuloy pa ng aktor, “Being the jerk that I accept, I come in, I was like ‘Okay sure, I’ll meet her, say hi, of course ‘di ba?’ I was trying to be nice. I wasn’t trying to be mean or anything but because of my unawareness and ignorance, I came off as very fresh, masyadong presko, masyadong komportable bigla.

“Dapat marunong ako lumugar. Hindi naman siguro mayabang but jerk and presko vibes, at home na at home ka dito.

“I go in and Marian Rivera’s there, there’s a table, she says ‘Oh, hi, ako si Marian.’ And then she extended her hand and I reached over and I’m like, ‘Hey, ‘sup? I’m Mik.’ And then umalis ako.

“So many things were happening but yeah I was a jerk. I’m sorry. Yanyan, I love you, you’re amazing, you’re beautiful. I was a jerk,” tuluy-tuloy pang pahayag ng mister ni Megan.

Kapag bumabalik daw sa alaala niya ang tagpong ito, hiyang-hiya siya sa sarili, “I can imagine how that could’ve been a bad impression and true enough, years later, people would look back on that and then tell me, ‘Oo Mik, mali ka doon bro, dapat ‘di mo ginawa ‘yon.

“Swerte ka na lang, swerte ka na lang naging magkaibigan kayo,” dagdag pang kuwento ni Mikael.

Nang maging magkaibigan na raw sila ni Marian nang dahil na rin sa pagsasama nila sa “Amaya”, kinausap niya ang aktres at inayos ang kanyang pagkakamali.
