“There were a lot of times. Not for anything, pero minsan kasi kailangan as an actor, kailangan totoo yung nararamdaman niyo eh, yung nilalabas niyong emosyon. Para pag pinanuod ng mga tao, maniwala sila sa gusto niyong ipakita sa kanila. Sa eksena kasi nangyayari yun eh. Siyempre sa eksena, tinitignan mo talaga yung kung kanino ka nalilinya, so ayun,” he shared.

In real life though, Paulo said he is not the type of guy to admit feeling that way. “Sa amin kasing mga lalaki, hindi ko alam kung paano i-explain yung kilig sa amin. Ewan ko, siguro pag nakikita ko sa baunan ni Kim na may gulay at may halong karne (laughs),” he said jokingly, after sharing that his leading lady sometimes packs food for him on the set.

When asked what he would do if he met a character like Kim Chiu’s role as Sari, Paulo said he does not know if he could fall for someone who believes she is cursed when it comes to love.

“Siguro para sa akin, parang noble sacrifice siya pag ginawa mo yan. But feeling ko, sa personality ko, gagawin ko dahil ayokong ipagkait sa kahit kaninong tao yung pakiramdam ng may nagmamahal sa kanya. Medyo mature rin kasi yung pag-tackle ng roles dito and pati yung characters namin ni Jolo and Sari. So medyo mature rin yung pagdating sa mga intimate scenes. Abangan niyo na alng kung paano,” he said.

To keep himself in shape and to maintain his heartthrob status, Paulo continues to push himself with challenging workouts that he shares on his social media account regularly.

“The first thing I do in the morning is work out at saka lagi kong sini-stress na lately ko lang natutunan, okay pala balansehin yung work at saka yung pahinga. Kailangan hinahanapan talaga ng tamang balanse para makaiwas sa stress,” he added.
