“Amicable exes” is one of the
most positively heartwarming things to see when it comes to the entertainment
industry. Seeing a romantic tandem, whether it began onscreen or off, or both, still
remaining chummy with one another even after the love has gone and they have
moved on, can certain warm one’s heart and leave a promise that perhaps they
might work well together again (if only in casting at least). Such could be
said for Julia Barretto, who considers herself a shipper on deck for her own ex
Joshua Garcia, now that he is successfully paired with Janella Salvador.
The Manila Bulletin reports that actress Julia Barretto, who will
be starring in an upcoming streaming series on iWant, is nothing less than
pleased with how the love team between her former showbiz pairing and real-life
boyfriend Joshua Garcia and Janella Salvador have become an established love
team. She said as much during interview for the media launch event of “I AM U,”
an iWant Original streaming thriller series debuting next week. She also
deflected speculation that she and co-lead star Tony Labrusca are forming a new
love team of their own while working on set for the streaming series.
Barretto, age 22, notes that she
is proud at how far Joshua has gone in his career, even after their on-and-off-screen
relationship no longer is. She calls herself one of his “cheerleaders,” who had
seen his growth as an actor from the start. Julia also has fond words for
Janella, one of her best friends in her reckoning. Recalling how they once
shared with one another their dreams, ambitions and goals in the showbiz
industry, the Kapamilya star says of Salvador, “Just watching her, being able
to do those things, I’m proud of her, and I’ve been praying for her.”
Julia Barretto is also of the
opinion that she has now outgrown the “love team” dynamic which pairs young
talents together as romantic leads in film or television, with a chance of them
forming real relationships afterward. Thus she tells fans that there is nothing
between her and Tony Labrusca despite starring opposite one another in “I AM
U.” She only remarks, “At this point, I feel I’m just very, very grateful that
I’ve been trusted with projects that are not the usual that I’ve done before.”
In the thriller series, Barretto plays a double role of a woman stalked and tormented
by a lookalike jealous of her blessed life. The rather appropriately-titled “I AM U” premieres on iWant streaming next Wednesday on February 26.
