Bea Alonzo chose Jake Cuenca for her leading man in the Philippine remake of Betty La Fea, during a recent press interview.In other words, she's completely insane and has no ability to see talent and to see what's not talent (we still love her though), because Jake Cuenca is not a good actor at all, he's a model. I'm not saying that models can't have acting talent and become full-fledged actors, but watching him in Palos, he still does not have enough talent to qualify as an actor. He's still a model reading lines.
When will people see that? When will true acting talent determine star power in the Philippines, rather than having a hot body and a nice face?
I love Bea and I'm very happy that she got the part, because I think she has a great amount of acting talent. But the role of 'Armando' is such an important role, it's pivotal to whether this will be a successful remake, and it requires a large amount of acting talent, as in Academy Award level talent for such an important role, which should immediately rule out Jake Cuenca.
And this is completely off topic, but Jake has something else in common with a lot of actors in showbiz, and it has to do with a closet.
I'm reluctant to say John Lloyd Cruz because of repetitive love teams, but I'd rather have him play this role than Jake since it fits him perfectly. The role calls for a masungit (grumpy) but lovable workaholic, something John has played before in other movies very well, so he would be perfect for the role of Armando.
