I’M GETTING A JOB FOR MY CHILD
In an interview with Toni Gonzaga on ‘Toni Talks’, actor Mark Herras spoke out about the viral video in which he was seen dancing at a gay bar.
“My goal was to provide.
I didn’t strip. I performed. I did hip-hop. I didn’t ask for a table or anything.
But because Filipinos are so bad at judging others, they think they have the right to judge other people’s lives.
I’m surprised it went viral. I’m glad someone defended it.
There were even other journalists who laughed when they told this story.
I said, ‘Are you really making fun of me?’
I’m not begging for mercy, but I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t care what they say anymore.
I’m not at a stage where I need to protect my career image.
I’m not neglecting [my career]. I’m really happy with what I’ve achieved. Well, it just so happens that there aren’t many offers anymore.
I just need to work. I was introduced to Apollo. Why not? It’s work! If I don’t accept those comments, will they support my family? No way.
I’m more likely to accept working for my child. “I don’t want to get to the point where my child has to beg others because I have nothing to give.”
Mark Herras on those who criticize his gay bar dance: ‘I don’t care!’
Kapuso actor-dancer Mark Herras reacted to the comments he received after dancing at a gay bar recently.
In the latest episode of “Toni Talks” on Friday, January 31, Mark said that he is at a stage in his life where he no longer cares about what other people say.
“Actually, I was surprised that it went viral and then I was happy that someone defended it. There are other press who, you know, will laugh while telling the story,” Mark said.
He added, “I said, ‘really? Are you still laughing at me?’ I’m not asking for mercy but I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t care about what they say.” However, even though he is disgusted by people’s negative comments about his work, Mark admitted that his wife is affected.
He said, “I always tell him, ‘stop reading things that you know will not turn out well.’”
It can be recalled that netizens discussed the video clip of Mark dancing at the said gay bar that went viral and drew various reactions.
But according to him, his family cannot be fed by other people’s comments.
