Part 1 Dingdong Dantes's look as angel of death in My Beloved reminds Marian Rivera of Orlando Bloom's Legolas role

Dingdong Dantes on his role as angel of death in My Beloved: "The role, yung pagiging sundo, ay isang karakter na hindi mo madalas nakikita. To the point na iisipin mo nga kung meron ba talagang sundo—if there's such a thing as angels of death. So, for me, parang first time na gaganap sa Philippine TV ng ganito, so very challenging ang role. And anything that is challenging for me is exciting. The fact that it is not easy, it means that it's exciting."

Ang role ng British actor na si Orlando Bloom bilang Legolas sa epic trilogy movie na The Lord of the Rings ang unang maiisip sa hitsura ni Dingdong Dantes sa primetime series na My Beloved.

Gaya kasi ni Legolas ay mahaba rin ang buhok ni Dingdong sa bagong teleserye ng GMA-7 na pinagtatambalan nila ni Marian Rivera.

Ito rin daw ang naiisip ni Marian tungkol sa hitsura ng aktor.

Napangiti ang aktor nang biruin siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), sa presscon ng My Beloved last February 7, na siya ang "Orlando Bloom of the Philippines" dahil sa look niyang ito.

"Hindi, ano lang... si Arlan, Arlan ang pangalan ko," sabi ng Kapuso actor.

Ayon kay Dingdong, maraming pinagpiliang style ng buhok bago nakuha ang look niyang ito sa My Beloved.

"Well, noong umpisa, we were thinking of a hairdo that would fit the bone... siguro the structure of the face.

"Marami pong sinubukan, 'eto yung nagwagi," sabi niya.

SKIMPY COSTUME. Bukod sa mahaba niyang buhok, isa pang kapansin-pansin sa role ni Dingdong sa My Beloved ay ang kakarampot na suot niya bilang isang "sundo" o angel of death.

Isang kapirasong tela lang kasi ang bumabalot sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan ni Dingdong.

Natatawang sabi nga niya, "Wala nga, e. Wala akong costume. Katawan lang!"

Kumportable ba siya habang ginagawa yung mga eksenang yun?

"Hindi parati!" natatawa niyang pag-amin.

"Pero masaya siya dahil at least hindi ako nag-iisa dahil may mga karamay rin ako."

    yes, My Beloved will be exactly the same FAILURE that AMAYA was, that is, accdg to the ignorant minds of kapamilyucks... oo, ORIGINAL ang My Beloved... sige nga, sino ang makakapagbigay ng isang show na walang pinaggayahan na kahit anong show or movie?... originality nowadays simply means that development of old concepts into new and interesting ways is being thoughtfully and intelligently done...

    Everything is based on something, if you believe otherwise, you guys do not live in the real world. Anyway, you watch if you want, don't watch if you don't want to. Take it or leave it, but don't give an opinion on something you haven't seen.

    yeah, it's a cross between City of Angels, Meet Joe Black, It's a Wonderful Life and perhaps some episodes of touched by an angel, highway to heaven, saving grace, etc... so technically, My Beloved is an original because it does not follow a specific theme, and it is not a mere adaptation of something in particular...

    oo nga city of angels, angel of death nicholas cage fell in love with meg ryan. he chose to be mortal but meg ryan died the next day ata yun after he became mortal. Sana magawa nila ng maayos sayang naman ang story ok na kahit walang masyadong props basta maayos ang story at acting.

    mga kapuso, off topic lang - post ko lang ratings yesterday based from PEX. --------------------- Feb. 9 AGB People Rating: Alice Bungisngis 7.1 Maria la del Barrio 4.0 24 Oras 10.9 TV Patrol 8.2 TV5 Wil 6.3 Biritera 14.2 Eboy 9.7 Budoy 10.3 Legacy 14.2 Walang Hanggan 10.6 --------------------- Congrats to the Biritera Team...highest ratings so far. Napaka underrated ng show and walang masyadong malalaking artista - yet because of promising storyline and a talented child actress, talagang nag hit sa masa! Good job direk Maryo. Another MH in the making. Laki nang lamang sa Eboy at Budoy ah...At siyempre congrats din sa Legacy, highest rating din nila kagabi, tie sila ni Biritera. Teka wala pa nga palang My Beloved dyan...bine-vertigo na naman ata si Aling Charo at Cory V. nito. Lol.
