Geoff Eigenmann 'Lobo'

Geoff Eigenmann has lost a lot of weight. Since being paired up as a popular love team with Heart Evangelista a few years ago, he grew very fat, but is now back in form and entering the ABS-CBN series 'Lobo' with Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin in the role of Alex Aragon. How did he lose all the weight?

"Puro boxing talaga I've been boxing for about ten months straight now na almost every day. ‘Tapos healthy eating, less oil, all vegetables."

How many pounds did he lose altogether?

"Ah, since I started about ten months ago... I started 190, now I'm 160, so, 30 pounds... pero yung weight loss nangyari lang nung latter months. So, ano naman, for my personal being talaga. ‘Tsaka maintenance na lang siya."

How does he feel about entering Lobo?

"Ah, siyempre very excited. Kasi ako yung naisip nila for that character. Kasi ang sabi pa nila sa akin I'll be parang in a love triangle with Piolo [Pascual] and Angel. So, just being there with those two big names, ano na, parang big thing talaga siya sa akin.

"'Tsaka, actually with this role, ang daming naging complications, e. Kasi nawala siya sa akin after they told me na ako nga yung magiging si Alex Aragon. Nawala siya sa akin kasi I was supposed to leave for the States.

"Una akong in-offer-an about a month ago. Nagkaroon ng complications because I have to leave for the States ng May. May problem sa scheduling. So, what happened was yung alis namin ng May, napaaga. We left last week. I got back last Sunday. Now I'm taping Lobo."

Pumunta ng Amerika si Geoff for his green card.

"Naayos na namin lahat ‘yon. So now, I'm back here.

"Actually, nawala yung role sa akin. From Gabby Concepcion, to me, ‘tapos nawala sa akin yung role. So, I still had to audition for the role again.

"Nag-reading pa rin ako. Gusto ko talaga siyang gawin. Inayos talaga namin na makaalis ako earlier for the States at makabalik ako agad. I really wanted to be part of this project. Kaya very happy ako na natupad ko yung gusto kong mangyari and sana nga I do justice to the role. A very big role.

"Kasi si Alex, ano siya sa story, one of the direct descendants of one of the first Lobos in the old days. So, nasa amin yung family lineage and all that. And ako dapat yung chosen one pero ang totoo talaga, si Angel."

How is your love life?

"Still non-existent. Pero happy pa rin. I'm happy living my life on my own. I'm happy with life."

You look like Gabby Concepcion.

"Wow! Flaterring. Siyempre Gabby Concepcion ‘yan, e."

Have they met?

"Yeah, I've already met him. We actually had dinner at my Aunt's [Cherrie Gil] house. Nagka-dinner kami lahat. Some old friends were there, sina Al Tantay, Amy Austria, Gabby was there. He met the family."

Did Geoff talk to Gabby about a possible telserye together?

"Actually, wala. We didn't really get to talk. It was more of a bonding nila, my dad [Michael de Mesa], my aunt, bonding-bonding sila. Kami, we were just there to meet him, welcome him back," pagtatapos ni Geoff. Quotes from PEP
