WTFu by Mr. Fu: From basketball to Vivamax
At a glance
Elmo Elarmo’s dream was to be a professional basketball player because he was an active varsity player during his student years at the Trinity University of Asia (at 6’1” ang size ha este ang height!). But it was the entertainment world that opened doors for him. (patingin nung bola bro!)
He first tried joining male pageants at bikini contests. (magaling ako maglaba ng gamit nang bikini!)
“Yung mga kaibigan ko kasi sumasali sila sa mga pageant. Sila yung nag-encourage sakin na itry ko rin," Elmo shares. (nasaan sila? tropahin ko!)
The marketing management graduate made sure he was always ready for the gigs. (I’m ready for you, bro!)
“Hinanda ko talaga yung katawan ko dun. Pag pinaghandaan mo naman, magiging confident ka, magiging ok ka," Elmo boasts. (handa na ang puso ko sayo bro!)
Elmo eventually got opportunities to be part of teleseryes and indie films. So far his biggest break is a talent contract with Vivamax. (ratsada agad si koya mo!) “Nadiscover ako ni Tito Jojo Veloso, pinag-audition nya ako. Tapos dinala niya ako sa Viva para sa Vivamax." (dalhin kita sa aking palasyo bro!)
He will never forget his very first project with the popular streaming app because there was a love scene with fellow actor Josef Elizalde. “Ang role ko dun ay masahistang bading. Wala namang kissing scene. Pero may mga maselan kaming eksena, lalo na ako kasi ako yung bading dun." (ay pag tayo magka-eksena irequest ko yung kissing scene!)
The 31-year-old bachelor has done six Vivamax series and two Viva films (may mga girls naman na ka-eksena!) All of these projects required him to show his physique. (at behind din daw ha!)
“Kakabahan ka talaga sa first bed scene mo kasi baka mabastos mo yung partner mo. Pero professional lang dapat. Mag-uusap muna kayo kung ano yung bawal, para maging maingat ka," Elmo explains. (ingatan mo ko bro!)
In his recent guest appearance on our youtube channel WTFu Elmo thanked his manager and producers for always keeping him in mind whenever they cast actors for a project. He just hopes that he can also try other roles soon. “Kung ako tatanungin, action talaga yung gusto. Natry ko kasi mapasama sa pelikulang Mamasapano. Militar ako dun. Kahit mahirap, naenjoy namin." (naka-ilang putok ka dun.. ng baril!)
