Kean Cipriano considers acting in movies addicting.

"Yes. It's like a tattoo eh. Parang once you pop you can't stop," he told Yahoo! Philippines OMG!.

His first-ever film, "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" with Eugene Domingo, JM Guzman and Cai Cortez was such an amazing experience that he's looking forward to doing more movies in the near future.

"I think I made myself feel na totoong tao ako. This [Ang Babae sa Septic Tank] is my first movie just so you know. At masaya ako na yung mga naging kasama ko mga totoong tao, sincere na tao, passionate na tao kaya I can't ask for anything more," he said.

Kean won't be the choosy type when it comes to doing films but admits he'd like to try challenging roles, roles that are far from what he really is a person.

"I'll do anything. I'd like to be a rapist, one day in a role. Gusto kong role yung malayong-malayo sa pagkatao ko siguro. Whatever God gives me, whatever God permits, I'll do it."

Aside from being an actor, Kean was first known as the frontman of the local band Callalily. Even if juggling two careers - acting and singing could be demanding at times, Kean is still inspired to pursue both.

"Ako naman gusto ko lahat nung ginagawa ko so hind na siya mahirap eh. Kung baga once na minahal mo na yung isang bagay automatic yung lalabas ieenjoy mo na lang yun," he said. "Yung sa balanse part, yung management na yung gumagawa noon, hindi ko na prinoproblema. Gagawin ko lang, kakanta ako, aarte ako."

But will he ever have time for romance?

"I am very much available," he said. [I just want a] respectful girl. That's all that matters," he said.
