Si Captain Barbell at si John Lapus
JOHN Lapus is playing villain to Richard Gutierrez in "Captain Barbell" starting Monday. Considered as the first gay villain in Philippine television, Sweet is named Mercurio and he will be seen doing fight scenes on primetime TV. It"s only a guest role but Sweet is very excited.
"Si Captain Barbell po ay pumapatol sa bading," said Sweet at the presscon given him by Star Magic which has given him the blessings to accept the offer of GMA-7. "Magkakapatulan kami ni Captain Barbell. Mercurio is a gay super villain. Siya ay tulad ng ibang gay sa lipunan. Siya ay inapi, kinutya, at tinaguriang salot so justified naman kung bakit siya naging salbahe. Ang mission niya ay magkalat ng lagim at gawing bading ang lahat sa buong bayan ng Maravelo."
How does it feel working with Richard? "Natulala ako. He"s so guwapo. We only met Wednesday night on my fourth taping day for the show. Natulala ako. Ang guwapo pala niyang bata. On Friday (Oct. 27), we are taping our fight scene," said Sweet. "I don"t know how I would react in our fight scene. Baka instead of fighting him, I might end up embracing and kissing him instead."
Sweet is appealing to the directors of Captain Barbell, Richard and his mom Annabelle Rama that he be allowed to have a kissing scene with Richard. After all, the female villains of Captain Barbell got a chance to kiss the superhero.
"Nanawagan na ako kay Richard, at kay Tita Annabelle na rin, pati sa mga directors ng show, na gawan ng paraan kung puwede kaming magkaroon ng kissing scene ni Richard. Trabaho lang po ito. Richard, gusto ko lang malaman mo, ayaw ko naman ikaw halikan. Kaya lang feeling ko, ‘yun ang hinihingi ng mga fans at ng mga sumusuporta kay Captain Barbell," says Sweet with a guffaw.
Will Sweet get his wish? Will Mercurio get to kiss Captain Barbell? Abangan.
Sweet is very happy to be working with GMA-7. He was the network"s first choice to be the additional co-host for "S-Files." He was given his own segment titled "Headline Ka John" where he will be doing commentaries on showbiz news. He will also be part of a new sitcom. Aside from his TV work, John is also with his regular gigs in Klownz, Quezon Avenue every Monday. He still keeps himself busy in theater acting as well.
