MANILA, Philippines — Showbiz newbie Jasmine Curtis is experiencing her baptism of fire as far as intrigue is concerned having been rumored to have locked lips with TV host Luis Manzano.
She denied it.
“'Kelan daw ‘yun?!?' sabi ko.Tapos sabi nila nu’ng hinatid daw ako,” Jasmine said on “Juicy,” Jan. 28.
Luis was her sister Anne Curtis' boyfriend not too long ago.
Jasmine further detailed what happened albeit obviously nonplussed.
“Wala namang nangyari. Hinatid lang niya ko kasi pareho kaming may early call time the following morning. Wala, kuya ko ‘yun, eh. It’s not allowed. Wala naman talagang nangyari sa amin ni kuya,” she insisted.
Jasmine’s face lightened up when asked to name her crush from among local male stars.
“Si Jericho Rosales,” she immediately said, “kasi sobrang guwapo niya at saka sobrang talented niya. Halos lahat ng areas nako-cover niya... kumakanta siya, naggigitara tapos actor pa siya... nagmo-model pa siya.”
Yet for now, Jasmine is not ready to fall in love. After all, she’s only reached sweet 16. “Hindi ko po alam kasi young pa ako and I just really wanna really enjoy ‘yung teenage years ko. For now, hinay-hinay lang.”
Admitting in a past interview that her sister Anne contributed some to her dream to be in showbusiness, Jasmine explained what really convinced her to try out showbiz.
“Being exposed to acting in terms of school plays, drama classes... so not naman, ate never talked about it pero siguro mas malaki talaga ‘yung naging impact ng drama classes and school plays kasi mas constant siya sa akin. Si ate talaga kasi, she really pressured me,” said the Kapatid star. (report from Alex Valentin Brosas, Manila Bulletin)
