- Ken Chan’s name is on the list of actors that people would want to come out of the closet.
- After starring as a transsexual in Destiny Rose, rumors started to circulate about Ken’s sexuality.
- He laughed at said rumors and shared why he will not be coming out of the closet.
After starring as a transsexual in the titular role of Destiny Rose, Ken Chan had heard rumors about him being gay. He also added that he is not gay or bisexual. At times he would think of looking for a girlfriend just to stop the rumors.
However, he didn’t want to do that to satisfy the bashers. Ken will star in a Kapuso drama-suspense thriller, The Cure.
Ken was honored for being included in the cast of The Cure. He plays a young doctor who falls in love with Arra San Agustin’s character. However, Arra’s older brother, Mark Herras, is against him for his sister and bullies him for it.
Ken also shared how nerve-wracking it would be to watch major characters put into danger of flesh-eating monsters.
“Kakaiba ‘yung show… Nakakanerbiyos panoorin as all the major characters are put into danger. Ako rin, may action scenes ako rito, along with Jennylyn Mercado and Tom Rodriguez who play the leads.”
When asked about Mark Bautista’s coming out of the closet, Ken shared that he had read about it on social media. There was a list of actors that people would want to come out.
He also knows that his name was on the list.
“Yes, I read sa social media about that… Ang daming nakalistang mga aktor na hinihintay raw nilang mag-out at kasama ang name ko, but sorry po, wala akong gagawing coming out kasi wala naman akong itinatago. Since I played the role of a transsexual in ‘Destiny Rose’, palaging may aspersions about my gender pero I just laughed about it kasi kilala ko naman ang sarili ko. Hindi po ako gay, hindi po ako bisexual, lalaki po ako.”
Ken also added that people may be accusing him after he and his girlfriend broke up after Destiny Rose. They broke up because he didn’t give time and effort in being a boyfriend.
He also added that his main focus and attention will remain on his career.
“I’m thinking na maghanap na nga ako ng gilfriend para matigil na sila, but I don’t want to do that just to satisfy my bashers. My last girlfriend was a non-showbiz girl at nag-break kami when I got so busy doing ‘Destiny Rose’ and later, ‘Meant to Be’. Napabayaan ko kasi siya. Wala akong time. Puro work lang. So ayokong maulit ‘yun kasi right after ‘The Cure’, GMA said may isa pa akong assignment, so sa career na lang muna ang full attention ko.”
