How I miss GMA 7’s hit series, “My Husband’s Lover.” It merits a sequel. Dennis Trillo’s portrayal of a gay man endeared him to viewers all the more. Recently, he played a gay role again in Viva’s “Bakit Lahat ng Gwapo May Boyfriend?”
The Kapuso actor says he has gotten the hang of it. He’s at home playing a homo onscreen.
Here’s my chat with Dennis:
What did you learn about gay men in preparing for those roles? I realized that they have to overcome more obstacles in their relationships. That is why I have so much respect for them.
What are your thoughts on same-sex marriage? I have gay friends and coworkers who have gotten married in other countries. I support them and their choice.
What will it take for a girl to make you want to settle down? There are no criteria for me to want to settle down with a girl. When the right time comes, I will know.
What would you do if your son turned out to be gay? I will not love him any less.
If your life story were adapted into a movie, what would the title be? “Limitless”
