dial m for mario

there's a pandemonium going on in manille about thai heartthrob mario maurer. so i am reposting this.
mario is a chameleon, which is what a true actor should be. he can be the sweet, boy-next-door type or manly and sexy, brooding or charming. ah basta.
but whatever mood he's in, he never loses the sex appeal and the gorgeousness that won him a heavy following all over asia. manille, i think, is among the last to fall in luv with his charms.

it's about time he conquers manille where he has quite a few admirers ever since he appeared in that sad, poignant, cuming of age gay luv story luv of siam. 

after watching that film, mario maurer had me at mar.

since then, i would search for any latest news about him on google and luckily, there are write ups about him in english, either on blogs or on newspapers.

last i heard, mario will be in town to shoot an ad for local clothing brand penshoppe (the same firm that earlier brought gossip gurl's ed westwick. how i wish penshoppe had signed up the gorgeous and hunky chace crawford instead of the petite and ordinary looking ed.)

there were also reports that mario might do a movie for star cinema. i hope they come up with a better script and fabulous leading lady (not that anorexic and talentless kim whatever please!) for him. he deserves nothing but the best. otherwise there will be chaos. haha. (update - sadly they chose a not so luvable girl to be his leading lady. i was thinking of someone who looks sweet and angelic lyk bea alonzo or kristine hermosa.)

here are some pics of mario through the years that i found on the net.

i luv the evolution:

he's simply fabulous, don't you think?

enjoy!

lastly, here is my favourite scene in luv of siam:

shame on you if you haven't seen this movie yet. go go go to your favourite stalls in quiapo or greenhills now!!!!!

and here he is all grown up and oozing with sexiness (a photo shoot for gay mag attitude. we should have a manille version of this mag. it's too campy, too deliciously gay for comfort. my only concern with this photo shoot is baka sipunin sya. kawawa naman. triple chos!)
