MAJA Salvador says her relationship with on-screen partner and rumored boyfriend Coco Martin has not been affected by his daring movies and nude photos on the Internet.
Maja costars with Coco in ABS-CBN?s drama series, ?Nagsimula sa Puso.?
?As an actor, he?s played roles that required some skin-baring,? Maja told a group of writers recently. ?But those roles are different from who he is. What?s important to me is that he respects the people around him [and] he takes care of me on the set. He brings me food and makes sure not to disturb me when I?m tired.?
However, Maja said, they haven?t been out on a real date. ?We enjoy each other?s company, but we don?t want to complicate things just yet.?
Maja also plays the lead in ?Diablo,? one of three episodes in ?Shake, Rattle and Role 11,? a 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival official entry.
?My character is possessed by a demon, so I?m always angry and screaming,? she said. Plus, she had to wear prosthetics for three whole days.
?I had to believe I was a demon,? she recalled. ?To think I get scared easily.?
In ?Diablo,? Maja stars with Mark Anthony Fernandez, who plays a priest. ?I?ve been a fan of Mark?s since his Gwaping days,? Maja said. ?The first time we met on the set, I was so star-struck, I asked for a snapshot with him. Sometimes, I catch myself staring at him. He has the cutest eyes!?
