At the press conference of his upcoming movie with Sarah Geronimo, “It Take a Man and a Woman,” John Lloyd showed his vulnerable side, baring his feelings and how he looks at the future.
“I’m thinking (of) early retirement. I want to spend quality time with my family and my would-be family,” he said.
He didn’t specify when he will retire. But when that time comes, John Lloyd won’t abandon showbiz. He’ll just select the projects he will take.
“Siguro kapag dumating iyon, on the side, pili tayo ng magandang projects. Kung meron tayong privilege, iyon sana ang magawa natin.”
The 29-year old actor is of marrying age, but he wants to wait until he’s more financially stable before settling down.
John Lloyd reprises the role of Miggy Montenegro in Star Cinema’s “It Takes a Man and a Woman” while Sarah plays Laida Magtalas.
It’s their third team-up, following the highly successful “A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life.”
What makes their team-up click?
“It’s beyond chemistry. It’s magical eh. Siguro isa iyon sa pinakamaganda or best gift na pwedeng maibigay sa isang tandem. We have this very special connection na mahirap ipaliwanag,” John Lloyd replied.
He added that the best thing about their relationship is they have matured and they know each other more.
“Alam ko in my heart na we will always be special to one another,” John Lloyd said.
John Lloyd notes that Sarah has the qualities he wants in a girl. But Sarah said he did not court her.
“You have to respect kung ano ang kanyang sitwasyon. You have to respect yung decision niya and yung family niya. Alam naman natin ang priority niya is trabahuin ng husto ang kanyang career, be the best she can be. Bakit mo ipipilit ‘di ba?,” he said.
John Lloyd only has good words for Sarah, whom he said remains professional and dedicated to her work despite her personal problems.
“Sarah’s been perceived by many na popstar princess na sikat na sikat, na nagkakamali, nakaka-encounter ng problema sa trabaho at pag-ibig. Pero in the end, si Sarah is si Sarah. Bibilib ka sa kanya kasi pupunta siya sa trabaho na gagawin niya yug kailangan niyang gawin, 100%.”
He also defended Sarah’s candidness.
“Si Sarah kasi masyado siyang totoo, she’s very candid. Kung ano yung gusto niyang mabitawang salita, maaaring hindi napagisipan kagaad. Kaya minsan we have to give her a break, babae rin siya, nasasaktan. Minsan nadudulas ang dila, ganoon talaga. Lahat naman tayo dumadaan diyan. Ang maganda doon is how you rise above it. Kaya niyang mag-apologize at tanggapin kung mali ang nagawa niya.”
An 'emotional' John Lloyd
John Lloyd became teary-eyed when asked what he has learned from his character.
“Sa lahat ng nangyayaring maganda sa iyo, yung success, lahat. In the end, sasabihin sa iyo, the best thing is to be a good person. That’s all that matters. Lahat is secondary. Just be a good person.”
He added, “Masyado lang ako naka-associate sa pelikula. Kakatapos lang namin and very emotional kaming lahat. But I’m very much okay.”
“It Takes a Man and a Woman” opens in theaters nationwide on Black Saturday, March 30.
