Ejay takes acting more seriously
From someone who thought showbiz is just a way of earning a living, Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Teen Edition grand winner Ejay Falcon has turned into a guy who wants to reciprocate the love and support he gets from people and his home network, ABS-CBN.
He now loves his career more as compared to when he was just starting in showbiz.
“Noong nag-umpisa ako sa trabaho ko, masasabi ko dati na pera-pera lang. Pero ngayon masasabi ko na na mahal ko ang trabaho ko at mas lalo ko nang gagalingan. Binabalik ko lang rin ang tiwala na binibigay sa akin ng ABS-CBN kasi hindi rin naman biro iyong mga binibigay nila na roles sa akin,” Ejay said at the thanksgiving party of “Mundo Man ay Magunaw” at the ABS-CBN compound.
After starring in dramas like “May Bukas Pa,” “Katorse,” “Guns and Roses” and now, “Mundo Man ay Magunaw,” Ejay realized he should take his career more seriously.
“Dahil sa mahal ko na yung trabaho ko, sinabi ko sa sarili ko na ayaw kong mawala ang trabaho ko. Seryoso na po ako sa tinahak kong career. Talagang pinag-aaralan ko, ayaw kong may masilip na butas sa akin na ‘Ay, hindi iyan marunong umarte.’ Ayaw ko rin maging cause of delay sa mga tapings.”
Ejay admits he can’t blame critics for giving negative feedback about his acting when he was just a newcomer.
No bitterness
“Hindi ko naman sila masisisi sa mga sinasabi nila dati. Bilang baguhan, lahat naman yata dumaan doon. Yung mga beteranong artista, nagkukwento sila na ganoon rin sila dati kung umarte. Basta maging sincere ka lang sa trabaho mo.”
He has mixed feelings about “Mundo Man ay Magunaw”, now that it will air its finale on Friday, July 13.
Ejay said that he has already gotten close to the cast, composed of Empress Schuck, Nikki Gil, Eula Valdez and Sylvia Sanchez.
Ejay said Empress, his leading lady, are close friends. But it hasn’t reached the courtship stage yet.
“Steady lang, best friends siguro na masasabi ko. Isa sa mga babae na close ko ngayon, si Empress. Pero hindi pa dumadating sa point na seryosong ligawan, hindi pa. Pero ginagawa ko naman yung pagiging leading man ko sa kanya, pinapakita ko naman sa kanya kung paano ko siya ligawan.”
