Gerald Anderson's strong appeal sends his female fans screaming whenever he appears in television shows, movies, and fashion shows. And his getup is often imitated by guys his age and even the younger ones.
You'd think it must be hard to maintain his looks and image. But Gerald says otherwise.
In an interview during the media conference of his new Dermablend endorsement recently, the former Pinoy Big Brother teen housemate said his beauty regimen is actually low maintenance.
"Hindi ako vain at all," he insists. "Minsan nga pinapagalitan ako dahil kahit anong gusto kong suot, kahit anong [style ng] hair ko, okay na 'yan."
However, the 21-year-old actor could as well have mentioned the saying, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." He declared, "Malinis akong tao. Gusto ko palagi akong malinis."
Like other celebrities, Gerald advises regular visits to a dermatologist. "Dapat once or twice ako nasa derma."
Unfortunately, he doesn't follow this religiously because of his busy schedule.
So, what does he do instead to maintain his fair, mestizo look?
"'Yon nga, soap, water, shampoo. Minsan nga, quick bath lang dahil minsan late na ako nagigising dahil puyat. 'Yon lang, simple lang."
Gerald credits his active lifestyle to having a well-built body. He tells the media, "Siguro nakikita ninyo, marami akong ginagawa like basketball, jogging, gym. Konting kain pero mas [particular] ako sa cardio [exercises]. Gusto ko talaga mas physical ang ginagawa ko, so 'ayon, I always play basketball."
