“HINDI siya ganun kadali.”
These were the words of John Lloyd Cruz as he described fatherhood in an interview with G3 San Diego for Mega Entertainment.
The actor has a son named Elias with his ex-partner Ellen Adarna.
“Parang pang pelikula lang pala ‘yung, ‘Magiging tatay na ako!’ Para sa akin hindi. I mean, kung ano ‘yung nangyari sa akin,” he said.
“Baka naman sa iba, totoo ‘yun. Pero para sa akin… We wanted it eh. Alam naman na namin na it was going to happen,” he added.
The actor also admitted that his journey as a new parent back then was challenging because he and Ellen were facing personal trials that time as well.
“Halu-halo kasi siya eh. Ang dami nangyari at that time like ‘yung father ni Ellen passed away two weeks before pinanganak si Elias and she was going through motherhood, becoming a mother and our own personal issues,” the actor shared.
On what are the similarities he can see between him and his son, the actor relayed, “Bibig, mata. Meron siyang ginagawa sa bibig niya, sa mata na kakabahan ka. But he’s very stubborn like me and like the mother.”(Push)
