“Bekikang” lead actor Joey Paras is flattered whenever he is being compared to comedian Vice Ganda.
RIVALS? ‘Bekikang’ star Joey Paras speaks up on issue with Vice Ganda.
“Hindi ko alam [saan nanggaling], actually napa-flatter talaga ako na mai-compare kay Vice kasi milya-milya ‘yung layo ng narating ni Vice,” he said.
According to the gay actor, he is not close to Vice Ganda but had worked together on some projects.
“Hindi pa kami ganoon ka-close pero nag-work kami before sa ‘Sisterakas.’ Pero noong ginawa ni Vice ang ‘MMK,’ ‘yung buhay niya, ako ‘yung best friend niya doon. Sana naalala ni Vice, sana,” he said.
Paras is currently promoting his first mainstream movie “Bekikang: Ang Nanay Kong Beki,” which is directed by Wenn Deramas, who also directed Vice Ganda’s box office hits, “Praybeyt Benjamin” and “Sisterakas.”
“Si Bekikang ay tungkol sa buhay ni Betorio na tinawag ni Nikki Valdez na best friend ko sa movie na ‘Beki.’ Tapos tinatawag ako ng aking stepsisters at stepmother na ‘Bekikang’ kasi sa palagay nila, ako ay hindi kagandahan.
“So feeling ko si direk Wenn na nagpangalan din ng movie, baka pinattern niya kay Bakekang para libre na ‘yung prosthetics,” he said.
“Bekikang”, inspired by Lino Brocka’s 1978 film “Ang Tatay Kong Nanay,” is about the struggles of a gay single parent, who has an adopted son, Potpot (JM Ibañez).
Produced by Viva Films, “Bekikang: Ang Nanay Kong Beki“ will open in theaters nationwide on October 23.
