Daniel Padilla clarifies ‘attitude problem’
Has fame gotten into Daniel Padilla's head?
The teen heartthrob doesn't think so. Daniel insists only his schedule has changed.
“Hindi na ako ang Daniel na walang ginagawa. Iyon lang ang nagbago. Dati wala akong ginagawa. Dati hindi ako pinapansin. Eh ngayon, siyempre, nangyayari naman sa lahat ng artista iyan eh. Nagkakaroon lahat ng moments,” Daniel said at the press conference of his latest endorsement Brazilian timepiece YoT on Friday, March 15.
No big deal
He may be one of today’s hottest teen actors, but Daniel says fame is no big deal to him.
“Sinasabi niyo na sobrang sikat, pero hindi ko alam. Hindi ko nararamdaman. Kumbaga, gawin mo lang ng gawin kung saan ka magaling. Gawin mo kung saan ka nakilala, ituloy mo.”

Reacting to rumors that he has an attitude problem, Daniel said,“Kasi hindi ako yung maangas na sira ulo. Mukha lang akong maangas, pero hindi ako maangas.”
He thinks others have mistaken his way of talking – which he got from the Padilla family – for arrogance.

Daniel also clarified issues with fans who feel bad whenever he fails to interact with them.
“Siguro yung mga ganoon na fans, sila yung mga hindi alam. Hindi sila solid kumbaga. Kasi alam naman ng mga totoo kong supporters yung mga nangyayari. Baka may tatakbuhin ako that time, hindi lang naman iyon ang gagawin ko sa araw na iyon. May mga chances na ganoon.”
He hopes that fans understand his situation and wants to appease them by working harder on his craft.
“Nagtatrabaho kami, hindi lang para sa amin. Bakit ba namin ito ginagawa, siyempre para mapasaya sila (fans). Hindi lang naman ito para sa amin para yumaman, magkapera. Kaya kami andito ay dahil sa kanila. Kumakanta kami para sa inyo. Umaarte kami para kiligin kayo. Lahat naman ito para sa inyo. Kumbaga minsan kung hindi namin kayo mapagbigyan, may mga dahilan kami.”
Daniel feels bad some of his fans dislike his love triangle with Kathryn Bernardo and newbie actress Liza Soberano in the movie "Must Be Love."

He even defended Liza against bashers.
“Hindi naman siguro tama na ganoon kasi umaarte lang naman kami. Siguro nagawa lang namin yung part namin ng maayos. Tsaka bakit naman kukunin si Liza kung hindi niya rin magagawa mg maayos.”
Despite his taxing schedule, Daniel feels grateful for the blessings and tries to enjoy his work.
“Totoo naman na tao lang rin ako. Masaya pero may consequences rin. Napapagod rin ako. Minsan parang 'Gagawin ko pa ba iyan?' Parang namamatay na yung katawan mo eh. Iyon yung mga kapalit ng mga ito. Pero instead na mapagod ka, magpasalamat ka na lang. Tinutuloy ko lang na i-enjoy.”
Daniel is slated to have his birthday concert at the Big Dome on Tuesday, April 30.
