Kapamilya actor Carlo Aquino opened up about how his life has transformed since marrying actress Charlie Dizon on June 9, 2024.
The actor shared his thoughts during the press conference for his Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2024 entry ‘Hold Me Close’, where he stars opposite Julia Barretto.
Aquino revealed that his day-to-day life has not drastically changed but emphasized the importance of being more mindful of his wife’s feelings. “Hindi rin naman siya masyadong iba sa noong hindi pa kami kasal. Ano lang talaga, dapat conscious ka lang sa kung anong nararamdaman ng partner mo,” he explained. “Ganu’n din naman kapag hindi kayo mag-asawa. Iba lang ang ano ko ngayon siguro, yung attention to details. Basta mas binibigyan ko na ng importansya yung mga ginagawa ko for her.”
Carlo also described how Charlie has become his emotional anchor. “Siguro yung partner mo na yung palaging iniisip mo. Minsan kapag pagod na pagod ako sa taping, siya lang talaga. Tatawag ako, ‘Love, pagod na pagod na ako.’ (Sasabihin niya), ‘Okay lang ‘yan, ano ka ba, ang tagal mo nang ginagawa ‘yan.’ Totoo naman. Tapos, pinapatawa niya ako. Masaya na ako kapag narinig ko na yung tawa niya,” he shared.
One notable shift in Carlo’s life is how he interacts with others, especially women. Known for being approachable, he admitted that marriage has prompted him to set new boundaries.
“Malapit ako sa mga tao, lalo na ngayon. Pero iba na yung pagiging sobrang kumportable, di ba, kasi may asawa na ako. May boundaries na,” he stated.
The actor also reflected on his personal growth, saying he’s become more mature and sociable. “Noong Third World Romance (pelikula nila ni Charlie), iba na yung warmth. Siguro it comes with age din. Iba na rin kung paano ako mag-handle ng mga bagay-bagay,” he added.
In ‘Hold Me Close’, Carlo reunites with Julia Barretto in a film about love and second chances, which will debut as an official entry in the MMFF 2024.
