Sa presscon ng Thelma, tahasang sinabi ni Direk Paul Soriano na ready na siyang mag-asawa at hinihintay lang niya ang girlfriend na si Toni Gonzaga na maging handa rin.


Thirty years old na si direk ngayon at si Toni naman, 27. Matatandaang nagpahayag na ang TV host-actress kamakailan na three years pa bago siya pumasok sa pag-aasawa at willing siyang hintayin ng boyfriend.


“Well for me talaga I’m ready, eh, honestly ready na ako, I think. I’m starting out  a good career, I’m saving, nag-iipon ako, I’m saving my money.  I’m just waiting for her to be ready because I don’t want to force her, I don’t want to rush her. Seryoso ang marriage, eh. Marriage, forever ’yan, eh, for the rest of your life.”


Ayon kay Toni in a recent interview, wala raw deadline ang marriage, na inayunan naman ni direk.


“Exactly! That’s why for me, honestly talaga, ’pag ready si Toni, ready na ako.”


Ngayon ba, hindi pa ready si Toni?


“Si Toni, she’s concentrating on her career, eh, and I can’t blame her. She’s worked so hard to get to where she is today. I don’t want to come in between that, so, I want her to tell me ’pag ready na siya, then we can start talking about it. I want to be an inspiration to her career rather than  a hindrance.”


Natanong din si direk kung wala ba siyang interes na maging artista at makapareha ang  girlfriend dahil leading man material siya at sa totoo lang, puwede niyang pataubin ang ibang leading men natin dahil sa angking kaguwapuhan.


“Well, at this point talaga, I’m really trying to establish myself as a director. Maybe down the line, if I’m really known as a director, then I maybe do cameo-cameo, okay lang. Pero as of now…


“I remember, in Amnesia Girl (movie nina Toni at John Lloyd Cruz), they asked me to do a cameo, kasi, ’di ba, parang ’yung pangalan ni John Lloyd (sa movie), parang John Paul, Polo, eh.         “Sabi ni Toni... well, actually, ako rin, ’di pumayag, eh. I want to be comfortable, eh, when I do it, baka hindi pa ready. ’Coz I know if I’m not comfortable, I won’t do well, eh.”


Bakit hindi siya comfortable?


“In front of the camera, medyo, wala, eh, I become shy, I shut down, oo. Mas sanay ako behind the cameras. Actually, lahat ’to, new to me, eh,” pahayag niya.


Natanong din siya kung willing ba siyang idirek si Toni sa susunod niyang films at aniya, okay sila off-cam ng girlfriend at mas maganda na raw siguro ’yun.


Kung sakali namang maidirek niya sa movie si Toni, sino ang personal niyang pipiliin para maging leading man nito?


“Honestly, her team-up with John Lloyd, Amnesia Girl, I really love it. Vhong Navarro, I think they have great chemistry. And Sam Milby, of course, you cannot go wrong with Sam and Toni, actually, it will be nice to see them in a more mature kind of film ’coz they’re both very mature actors.


“And maybe si Bossing, si Vic Sotto. I was excited for that (Vic-Toni movie plan noon na naudlot), pero it didn’t work out. But I know in the future, it would be nice to see Bossing and Toni in a movie together.”


Sa pelikulang Thelma, na showing na sa Sept. 7, puring-puri ni direk si Maja dahil hindi raw si Maja na artista ang nakita niya sa mga eksena kundi si Thelma (name ng character ni Maja) mismo.
