In front of the cameras, Stellar Miss (SM) and Loveless Bachelor (LB) seem like they’re perfect buddies brought together by fortuitous events, especially after SM switched from one significant management team to another.
Because of SM and LB’s unique friendship forged by mutual admiration, the company they both belong to quickly cooked up a splashy new project that it hoped would benefit from the duo’s stellar new partnership.
Thankfully, while their romantic chemistry proved a little underwhelming, LB and SM managed to generate enough sparks that prevented their project from failing completely. Theirs is a tandem that aptly demonstrates why chemistry isn’t something that can be “manufactured.”
There is however a more disturbing reason that the new love team could be treading on shaky ground. A not-so-little-birdy (NB) told Rushes that, contrary to popular belief, all wasn’t really as peachy between LB and SM during the shoot.
In fact, in one particular sequence, LB reportedly made SM wait on set because he got too busy indulging in one of his time-consuming “passions”—and SM was none too pleased about getting “hostaged” by LB’s waiting game.
NB said, “Does that mean LB and SM won’t be making the big-screen project they used to say they would be doing next?” It’s one pertinent question whose answer we’d also like to know. Abangan!
