"I was born with it," quipped Bebe.

 

NEW YORK STINT. Bebe related how big the preparation was in his travel and study in New York. "I used to be big before," he explained, referring to his body structure. "So, physically, I had training and did a lot of Pilates para lang mag-change ang structure ko. And then, may training din sa modeling para matuto yung paglalakad. It's not easy."

 

By the looks of it, Bebe definitely succeeded in his goal since he is no longer recognizable as Rustom Padilla—the handsome dramatic actor who was formerly married to actress Carmina Villaroel and brother to action star Robin Padilla.

 

So, what made Rustom change his name to Bebe?

 

Bebe simply said, "Because I'm not Rustom...I'm Bebe."

 

Why?

 

"Because, hindi ba parang katawa-tawa naman kung pangalan ko ay Rustom?" laughed Bebe.

 

During his time in New York, did Bebe take any drugs or medication to make him look more feminine?

 

"Not yet," Bebe said. "Everything was done naturally. So, yeah..."

 

CARMINA AND ZOREN. Lolit could no longer contain her curiosity and blurted out that Bebe looked like Carmina.

 

"Alam mo, ganito ‘yan," began Lolit, "pag nagkita kayo ni Zoren Legaspi at nakita niya na kamukhang-kamukha mo si Carmina? Paano ‘yan pag ligawan ka niya?"

 

"Sabihin ko sa kanya, bumalik siya sa asawa niya," smiled Bebe.

 

"Ayaw mo kay Zoren?" asked Lolit.

 

Bebe laughed. "Hindi, gusto ko, silang dalawa. They have to be together and they'll live happily ever after. That's my wish for them."

 

So, if ever Bebe falls in love with an actor, who would it be?

 

"Shy ako," gushed Bebe. "But, you know what, siyempre yung gusto mo yung someone responsible. Someone who'll inspire you."

 

If Bebe would do a Zoren Legaspi-directed film with Carmina Villaroel, what roles would he and  Carmina play?

 

"Sisters na lang," laughed Bebe.

 

BEBE'S LOVE AND FAMILY LIFE. Is there anything romantic happening right now in Bebe's life?

 

"Hindi pa, e," said Bebe. "Secret muna. I'd rather not comment about it because it's not happening yet. Nasa stage pa lang na I'm not even sure."
