Childhood crushes are often our first taste of kilig. And just like the rest of us, the cast of “The Four Bad Boys and Me” had their fair share of young celebrity loves before fans started swooning over them.
For Anji Salvacion, it will always and forever be Enrique Gil. She still remembers crushing on him way back in "Princess and I" (2012). And even during that part of the series where Enrique had to sport a bald head, Anji still thought he was insanely handsome. The ultimate fangirl moment hasn’t happened yet though as she still hasn’t met him in person. "I really badly want to meet him,” gushed Anji. Aren’t we all rooting for her to finally make that dream come true?
They may play the 'bad boys' on screen, but in real life, these guys are just total 'lover boys' at heart. Harvey Bautista has always been consistent in interviews saying that showbiz’s ultimate ‘Dyosa’ and “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” actress Anne Curtis was his childhood crush.
Dustine Mayores confessed he had his heart stolen by Jennylyn Mercado. He became an avid viewer of one of her teleseryes where she played a character with dissociative identity disorder, and that’s when his admiration really grew. "Ang ganda ni Ms. Jennylyn do'n tapos kung paano siya umarte din kasi mahirap aktingin 'yung dalawang tao," he divulged with a smile.
Sometimes, just one look at your superhero crush is all it takes to believe in love and legends. Maybe that’s exactly what River Joseph felt when he was first mesmerized by Marian Rivera’s beauty and told himself, “Siya talaga si Darna!”
Lastly, BGYO’s Gelo Rivera couldn’t choose just one because Gabbi Garcia and Sue Ramirez both had him starry-eyed when he was younger.
From having childhood crushes to becoming the crushes themselves, the cast of "The Four Bad Boys and Me" is still bringing the kilig—watch their digital movie now on ABS-CBN Entertainment's YouTube channel.
