Carlo Guevara admitted he was shy the first time he learned that he would be doing a kissing scene with Ogie Alcasid in Desperadas 2. He explained, "Kasi, honor sa akin na makatrabaho si Kuya Ogie, e."

In over a year, Carlo has already been part of several shows on ABS-CBN. These include teen-oriented shows Abt Ur Luv and Astigz, kiddie teleserye Kung Fu Kids, and two Your Song episodes—"Love of My Life" and "My Only Hope." And for the coming Metro Manila Film Festival, he will have his first movie experience in the comedy-romance film entry Desperadas 2.

With these exposures in showbiz, Carlos tells PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that much has changed about his life.

"Sobrang laki [ng pinagbago]. Dati, hindi ka nare-recognize ng mga tao. Ngayon, kapag nasa mall, nakikilala ka, nagpapa-picture. At saka medyo kailangan mo ring mag-adjust. Halimbawa, kapag pupunta ka ng mall, kailangan mo ring nakabihis at saka kailangan lagi kang maayos tingnan."

In Desperadas 2, Carlo acts as a partner of Ogie Alcasid, who plays half sister to the four original cast members—Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Iza Calzado and Marian Rivera.

How does he feel about working with these big names in showbiz?

"Honor sa akin na makatrabaho sila kasi talagang ang gagaling nila. 'Tapos first time ko pa ang movie na 'yon. Parang medyo kinakabahan pero kapag may bakanteng oras or mga breaks, nakakapagkwentuhan naman kami para medyo mabawasan ang nerbiyos ko."

Carlo confesses that he really prepared for this movie project so he wouldn't make any embarrassing mistakes in front of his co-stars.

"Talagang pinaghandaan ko ito kasi first movie, e. Noong sinabi nga ng handler na may offer sa akin na movie na ganito, una, parang nagdadalawang-isip ako kung tatanggapin ko. Kasi first time ko at ang makakasama ko talagang big time, big stars na talaga. So, talagang 'yong pagkarating sa akin ng script, inaral ko kaagad.

"

When he was told about his kissing scene with Ogie, Carlo said he never hesitated to do it. (CLICK HERE TO READ STORY. )

"Biglaan po ang kissing scene namin. Sa akin po, um-‘oo' na po si Kuya Ogie, ako pa ba ang tatanggi? Para din naman po sa trabaho at saka nag-usap naman po kami na parang just for fun lang para maging reality talaga ang kasal."

Carlo's projects encourage him to continue his acting career. Next year, he wants to attend more acting workshops to improve his craft. "Kasi minsan, feeling ko parang may kulang pa," ends Carlo.
