BB Gandanghari dreams of getting married

BB Gandanghari Only on OMG!
After 15 years of being single, BB Gandanghari hopes that she will soon experience the "greatest thing in the world". Interview by Jason Domantay. Video produced by Yahoo! Southeast Asia and Digitank Studios.

He’s already done it as Rustom Padilla. And now, he would want to do it again as BB Gandanghari.

Asked if he’d want to get married, BB revealed it’s one of his dreams.

“It’s not the dream, but it’s one of the dreams,” he said during the tree planting activity of the “Enchanted Garden” cast at the Roosevelt Park in Dinalupihan, Bataan on Monday, October 8.

The actor clarified, however, that he’s single but not looking for a partner.

“Siguro, hindi mo yata hinahanap pero hopefully darating pagdating ng panahon.”

BB added: “Hopefully sana madaan sa power of the mind.”

What would he prefer for a  partner: a Filipino or a foreigner?

Not different

“Hindi na ako choosy. Basta kung sino ang dumating. Basta alam mong mamahalin ka ng tama, yung susuportahan ka, yung magkakasuportahan kayo, magkakaintindihan kayo,” he said. “It’s beyond race.”

BB also admitted he’d want to have a child.

“I don’t see myself any different from anyone. If anybody can raise a child, why can’t I? And alam ko ang responsibilidad, kaya hindi pa ako nag-aampon. Pero darating yung panahon na yun na I wanna raise my own.”

The “Enchanted Garden” star added he wants to experience having to raise a child who will  grow up a good,independent person.

“Kasi masarap din yung pakiramdam, not for anything, but for that person to be independent one day and to be a good person, yung makapagpalaki ka ng maayos na bata.”

Androgynous actor

As an actor, BB wants to play male and female roles, like what he will do for a future episode of TV5’s “Enchanted Garden.”
 
“Kasi nga sa America, ang tina-try ko dun, androgynous model. I model male and female clothes. Dito, gusto kong ma-achieve, androgynous actor. Kaya looking forward ako now that I’m given the chance as BB to play a male character. And hopefully, I’ll do more,” he said.

His dream role, he added, is that of a transsexual in a movie, similar to what Felicity Huffman did in the 2005 film “Transamerica.”

“Gusto kong gumawa ng isang pelikula na totoo naman. Transsexual characters na I can really play. Tapos pag nilagay mo, ang pinapa-play, babae or lalaking nina-try maging babae,” BB explained.

“When you talk about transsexual experiences, very psychological ang approach d’yan,” he added.

Will BB stay in TV5 when “Enchanted Garden” ends?

“Ako naman andito lang para mag-trabaho,” he replied. “Go lang nang go. I always give my best.”

“Enchanted Garden” airs weeknights at 6:30 on TV5.
