Aktor umamin sa relasyong sa baklang aktor

Living up to my spirituality more than religiosity, I have to wait for this day para bigyang-daan ang firsthand account ng isang aktor tungkol sa umano’y relasyong namagitan sa kanila ng isang rumored gay actor back in the States.

Pasintabi muna sa mga readers who may find my item less than pleasant, but to those who love ‘‘tales of frontal tails,’’ I expect their e-mails pouring one after the other. One thing na gusto kong i-assure sa kanila: I won’t keep this guessing game a tough one.

Caught in the midst of controversy ang nakarelasyon niyang aktor, who was then 19 nu’ng umusbong ang kanilang romance sa Amerika. My source was already in his thirties, a US immigrant, and is now back in business.

Prior to that, inamin sa akin ng aktor na ito that his first gay affair was with a then-obscure, struggling name in showbiz who later rose to become a respected TV executive. Mahigit isang taon din daw ang itinagal ng kanilang relasyon, but over that period, dalawang beses lang daw sila nagkaroon ng ‘intimate moments’: The first was locally, the second and last was in HongKong.

It was in the US where he met this actor younger than his age, medyo nagkakapangalan na raw ito who showed so much promise. Palibhasa guwapo, talented, kumbaga sa isang lutuin, he had all the ingredients that appealed to anyone’s palate.

But the perfect recipe, it seemed, belonged to my source. Siya ang higit na appealing to the then-19 year-old actor. He was more desirable than his younger partner. Kung hindi ba naman, his mate was always the ‘‘performer.’’ In gay parlance, my source was the ‘Laila Dee’ in their partnership.

Naroong their sizzling hot episodes were shot (minus the grinding cameras, of course) inside the bathroom (na natural lang), aboard a moving car habang nagmamaneho ang aking source (na karaniwan din lang) and inside a moviehouse na silang dalawa lang ang laman!

Bagama’t matagal na raw nangyari ’yon, both of them manage to keep in touch with each other to this day. Isang bukas na aklat din sa aking source kung paanong nawindang ang buhay at career ng kanyang ex-lover who had a flight steward for a boyfriend.

Now that my source is back in harness, it’s the least of his intensions na para maging matagumpay ang kanyang showbiz comeback ay ito ang kanyang gagamiting passport to regain fame. It’s enough that he shared with me a story he believed was worth-telling.

But my source is not about to play contravida sa relasyon ngayon ng kanyang ex-lover with someone else.
