THERE WAS nary a trace of a gangster when Daniel Padilla was presented during the presscon for She’s Dating The Gangster, is movie with Kathryn Bernardo.
Far from it, Daniel was the exact opposite – mukha siyang mabango at kaibig-ibig at hindi mukhang hoodlum at mabaho.
Kasi naman, hindi naman typical gangster ang role ni Daniel sa movie. Tinawag lang siyang gangster ng character ni Kathryn, hence, the title.
As for the word gangster, Daniel explained that it has different meanings. “Me gangster na (member ng) frat. Me gangster na mobster, mga Mafia. Itong movie, nagsimula ‘yung gangster kay Athena (Kathryn), hindi ‘yung dahil nag-hazing,” sabi ng binata, adding, “Siguro nakita ni Athena na parang wala siyang pakialam sa mundo, ‘yung kaangasan niya.”
Nang matanong kung meron siyang gangster-like moves, “Hindi naman siguro. Siguro ‘yung kaangasan, hindi naman siya effort, effortless,” ang sabi ng binata.
