Joross denies rift with Cristine, Rayver

Despite rumors that he was originally tapped to play Rayver Cruz’s role in the upcoming teleserye “Bukas Na Lang Kitang Mamahalin,” Joross Gamboa says he has nothing against the former and his girlfriend Cristine Reyes.

Rumors have it Joross was pulled out from the teleserye after Cristine requested that he be replaced.

Cristine and Joross were sweethearts before the Viva actress and Rayver got into their present relationship.

“Nagulat lang ako siyempre tsaka nagtaka. Kasi naisip ko nga nagkatrabaho naman kami (ni Cristine) before, okay kami. Nagkikita naman kami kapag nanonood ng sine sa Alabang Town Center kapag birthday ni Rayver. Minsan nagkakasabay kami ni Rayver sa gym, so walang problema,” Joross said at the press conference of Star Cinema’s movie “Suddenly It’s Magic” in ABS-CBN compound on Monday, October 29.

Normal in showbiz

He adds that casting changes are normal in showbiz, where some projects don’t take off at all.

“Ganoon naman talaga sa trabaho natin. Minsan meron kang project. Tsaka kapatid ko naman si Rayver so okay lang sa akin,” Joross said.

He  added, “Inaantay ko na lang magstorycon (story conference). Noong story con, sabi ko, ‘Story con today, bakit kaya walang text?’ Ayun lang, sa akin okay lang. Tapos na iyon. Hindi ako na-offend. Siyempre may gulat lang na factor. Other than that,  walang sama ng loob, walang bahid ng kahit ano.”

Joross doesn’t want the issue to get blown out of proportion.

“Walang masamang tinapay sa akin. Kung para sa akin, para sa akin, kung hindi, okay lang din. Pero sayang, sana dapat makakasama ko sana yung matagal ko ng gustong makatrabaho na kapatid ko, si Gerald (Anderson).”

Meanwhile, Joross is happy to be part of the film“Suddenly It’s Magic,” which stars Erich Gonzales and Thai actor Mario Maurer.

 Joross shares that he has gotten close to Mario and his managers.  In fact, Mario calls Joross “Bro” (for brother).

“Ako yung nag-break ng ice. At first, medyo tahimik sila. So, ako yung bumangka, after that, free-flowing na yung atmosphere namin. Naging okay lahat, good vibes lang.” Joross relates.
