Ria Atayde at Tony Labrusca
SIGURADONG ikaka-shock ng mga manonood ang mga intimate scenes nina Tony Labrusca at Ria Atayde sa afternoon series na “Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin”.
Matagal-tagal ding nawala sa limelight ang hunk actor kaya naman nagpapasalamat siya sa ABS-CBN na binigyan uli siya ng project na maipagmamalaki niya.
Ang “Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin” na idinirek nina FM Reyes at Benedict Mique, ay isang collaboration project ng ABS-CBN at TV5 na pinagbibidahan nina Tony, Ria (gumaganap na mag-asawa sa kuwento), Jane Oineza at JC de Vera.
Aminado si Tony na ang karakter niya sa serye bilang si Lucas na isang abogado, ang pinakamahirap na role na ginampanan niya sa kanyang showbiz career.
“I’m not sure, I just know that this is the hardest character I’ve had to play yet. I’m so thankful nga na direk FM and direk Benedict are there to guide me kasi this is really challenging talaga for me and I think this is going to be part of my growth talaga, how I see it.
“I guess that’s something that’s intriguing me. Everyday I’m learning something new on the set. I’m learning something about myself and about my character Lucas din so I’m grateful for this role it’s challenging me in a good way and I’m excited for you guys to meet Lucas,” pahayag ng aktor sa naganap na presscon ng naturang programa.
Pagpapatuloy pa ng hunk actor-model, “During the pandemic, siguro I really lost myself. I went through so much and I didn’t really know where I would place myself I guess in this industry.
“So when they gave me this role, I didn’t really know the gravity of how big of a role it was then. To be honest, I was very hesitant just because I also didn’t really believe in myself then. So when I did this role, grabe!
“Without it being my choice, I knew that I really had to light that fire under my a**. I couldn’t disappoint myself this time and I couldn’t disappoint the people around me,” aniya pa.

Samantala, nagbahagi rin si Tony tungkol sa mga love scene nila ni Ria sa serye, “I really appreciate the effort that she made to make me feel comfortable din. There was a lot of firsts din for us when we did that scene.
“I don’t know if this is too much info but it was the first time for me to wear something that looked like a thong to make it seem seamless. It’s a new experience. Ha-hahahaha!
“Ewan ko, it felt like underwear being worn backwards, I guess? Usually it’s just nude boxers. And then during the scene I told Ria, ‘Hey don’t look at my butt’ and she said, ‘Don’t worry you have a nice butt!’ Whatever, I said let’s just get this scene over with,” ang tawa pa rin nang tawag chika ni Tony.
Dagdag pa ng binata, “You won’t see it pero kaya siguro we just kept laughing kasi we didn’t want to accept that we were at that point. We got close and sakto rin na jive yung personality namin so that helped din.”
Tungkol naman sa ginawa niyang paghahanda sa kanyang role bilang lawyer, “I actually talked to direk FMR and I literally told him, ‘Hey, I literally know nothing. Please guide me through everything.’ And he said, ‘Okay, I’ll help you’ and he helped me every step of the way.
“And there would be times where I would panic. He just really helped me. I really asked for his guidance so he was just there for me talaga. May mga homework si direk para sa akin kasi he also wanted me to talk in a specific tone din kasi I’m playing somebody who is a bit older.
“So may mga homework siya sa akin to see how the actors would talk in this kind of movie and how they would talk if they were doing comedy, yung mga ganu’n,” aniya pa.
