JC de Vera Offended by Alex Gonzaga’s Actions
JC DE VERA – Actor JC de Vera opens up about a moment with Alex Gonzaga that left him feeling offended, sharing the unexpected experience that surprised him during their first meeting.
JC de Vera directly named Alex Gonzaga as one of the celebrities he would never forget when it comes to “attitude.” The actor was asked whether he had experienced working with co-stars who had displayed “attitude” during his two decades in the entertainment industry.
JC admitted that he had encountered many such instances throughout his more than 20 years in television and film, having worked with all sorts of people in showbiz. During an interview with comedian-TV host Stanley Chi on One News PH, JC was specifically asked if he had a co-star with an “attitude.”
The actor replied, “Mayroon, pero ito naman, nakakatawang pag-a-attitude yon.” He continued, “Yung bagong lipat ako dito (sa TV5), may ginagawa kami nu’n, yung Lokomoko, yung gag show, tapos…sige, pangalanan ko na.
“First time kong makilala si Alex Gonzaga. Hindi ko siya kilala personally, pero since makakasama ko siya sa isang show, nakilala ko na siya,” JC revealed.
He shared that he was surprised when Alex asked him about the sunglasses he was wearing on their first day on set.
“Yung first few taping days namin du’n, e, nag-out-of-town shoot kami. So, naka-shades ako na pula, Oakley, naaalala ko pa, hindi ko talaga makalimutan.
“Then she asked me, ‘JC, original ba yang shades mo?’
“Natawa ako kasi hindi ko alam kung maiinis ba ako o maaasar ako sa kanya. Pero definitely, na-offend ako.
“Pero alam ko namang hindi niya mini-mean kasi, yun nga, hindi naman kami talaga magkakilala pa o close.
“Hindi ko rin alam kung intentionally ba niyang gustong punahin kung totoo ba yung shades ko o fake.
“Sumagot lang ako na, ‘Orig to!’ Pero alam mo yung awkward moment na parang, ‘Anong isasagot ko sa yo? Bago lang ako dito tapos tatanungin mo ako nag ganyan. Parang, mukha ba akong nagsusuot ng fake?’” JC admitted.
He confessed that he was indeed offended by Alex’s question.
“Parang siguro, mga 10 to 15 minutes, parang na-hurt ako, e, na tinanong niya ako nang ganu’n…nagulat ako, e.
“Pero inisip ko na lang na baka ayon yung way niya for being friendly,” JC added.
Despite this, JC clarified that he didn’t hold a grudge against Alex.
“After naman nu’n, gumawa pa kami ng project together ni Alex, yung comedy din, so okay kami.” he said.
He was referring to their 2022 comedy film The Entitled.
