Julia Barretto says Gerald Anderson made everything complicated in her life, simple

Published May 22, 2021 01:14 pm

In a rare instance, the 24-year-old sexy actress Julia Barretto opened up about her relationship with the 32-year-old actor Gerald Anderson. 

In an interview with Metro.Style, Julia attested Gerald is a "gentleman."  

"Anyone you ask would say the same thing. He is by nature a very caring and concerned individual and likes to make everyone feel comfortable and safe. Up to this day, I am proven right. I am well taken care of by this wonderful man," she related. 

Julia proudly noted how Gerald is also "most generous" with the blessings has has received.

"He enjoys these more shared and never alone," she said. "He puts others and their well-being first."

He also helps people grow, pushing them to become the best version of themselves, Julia added.

"Gerald doesn’t force this in others, he leads by example—and that to me, is a gift," she declared. 

Off-cam, Julia described the actor as a "funny guy."

"I don’t think this is a side of him many know. He has a unique humor that cracks me up all the time,” she maintained.

In terms of how Gerald influenced her, Julia said, "I’m not sure he realizes the impact he’s had in my life. Gerald has made all my complicated, simple. In all situations, he helps put things into proper perspective for me. He has grounded and humbled me as a person."

She's actually "grateful" that she has a partner that looks out for her, as well as "fuels and drives" her to become a "better person," for everyone and most especially for herself.

Maybe they complement each other because they have the same zodiac sign, Pisces. 

In fact, she shared how both of them have common personalities and interests from loving the water, being on the beach and under the sun, to going on adventures. 

In terms of personality, they are both "empathetic" and "optimistic."

"We have a soft heart for others. We like to be available for those who are in need of comfort in any way. Along the way, what I’ve noticed about the two of us, is that we both know how to silence the noise and find the good in all situations. We know how to carry on. We’re both very optimistic. Because individually we are this way, when put together, we are able to create a bubble, an atmosphere with good energy and is peaceful. Good energy is very important for the both of us so we like to keep things this way.” 

If ever, she wants to share the screen with Gerald anew. 

Actually, they thought doing a sequel of "Between Maybes" would be nice. 

"Having our characters (Louie and Hazel) meet again, and hopefully this time end up together in the end. Personally, I think a nice classic love story, or an action packed love story in the likes of Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” she said.
