We met Jesse last year at the Mister Grand Philippines pageant, he was a former student of a colleague in the blogging scene, a very smart and eloquent guy, he will definitely eat up that microphone and ace up the question and answer portion.
Although he didn't win the title from last year’s pageant, Jesse was able to still represent the country at the Mister Grand International pageant held earlier this year in Spain, where he finished as the 5th runner up.
Fast forward today, aside from being one of the reigning kings of the Mister Grand Philippines, Jesse has now ventured into modeling, doing several TV commercials and print ads, he also did some fashion shows for different designers and brands.
Jesse has also ventured into acting and his debut project is Table for Three from Vivamax and The IdeaFirst Company. Jesse starred along with Topper Fabregas and Arkin Del Rosario in this 45-minute feature film on the adult streaming platform.
Table for 3 tackles the still quite taboo topic of “Throuple Relationship” or a romantic relationship between three people that is balanced and has deep connection whether it is sexual, emotional, and physical with each other.
The movie tells the story of a couple, Paul (Del Rosario) and Marlon (Barretto) who both decided to make their relationship more interesting by adding another one in their relationship and that’s Jeremy (Guinto). And true enough, Paul and Marlon’s world became more adventurous with the entry of Jeremy, their relationship got a kick of spice as the feisty and naughty Jeremy pushed them to their boundaries and has become a huge test to the relationship of Paul and Marlon, will the throuple make it or will a table for three becomes crowded for them?
Table for 3 is directed by Ivan Andrew Payawal and has been streaming on Vivamax since August 28.
How is Jesse Guinto after competing in Mister Grand International earlier this year?
The schedule has been very busy so parang hindi po tayo nababakante, but I’m very thankful meron tayong mga projects so far regular naman dumarating yung mga projects ko, hostings, acting gigs, commercials. so ang hiling ko lang kay lord is hindi nya ko pabayaan sa mga projects, at least a month meron tayong gig hahaha., kasi nag focus na ko ngayon sa showbiz, so far so good na sobrang neenjoy ko sya no regrets at all and sana magpatuloy yung mga blessings.
How did you get to compete in the Mister Grand International pageant in Spain?
It was actually a tough journey kasi alam naman natin na the organization appointed me to compete for the Philippines in the Mister Grand International pageant and actually ang mahirap na part dun ay medyo kulang ako sa oras sa preparation and yet I made sure na kumpleto yung mga kakailanganin ko pagdating sa damit, sa lahat.
Buti na lang hindi ako nag stress eating at that time hahaha, namaintain ko pa rin naman kahit papaano yung pangangatawan ko, ready pa din.
Are you now done joining pageants?
I cannot say “yes, I’m done”, but I am actually still open in joining another pageant so I don’t know yet kung ano, pero I am actually looking forward na magkaroon pa ng isa pang international title.
I heard you are starring in a new vivamax plus “BL” movie, tell us something about it?
Well, it’s my first project with Artistella Management so I am very grateful to my current manager, Ms Manel Sevidal, thank you for this opportunity. And I accepted the project because I am doing this actually with Ideafirst, with Direk Ivan Payawal, the director of GameBoys.
So I am really excited nung nalaman kong si Direk Ivan yung magdidirect sa akin for that movie, I am a big fan actually nung GameBoys during the pandemic, natuwa ako dun sa chemistry nung dalawa kaya ayon I accepted the project and it’s a representation of a group wherein very proud din ako kasi I have so many friends na kabilang sa komunidad na yun.
So being a part of this story is such an honor, telling stories about these people.
It’s about “Throuple relationship”, doing Table for 3 what did you learn about “Throuple”
Natutunan ko that this story, nangyayare pala. Yung character ko dun kasi sobrang binigay nya yung sarili nya out of love and being someone na sobrang nageexplore sa buhay talagang binigay nya yung buong pagkatao nya dun sa dalawang taong nameet nya so it’s kinda hurtful sa part nung character na pinortray ko na meron something na gusot dun sa dalawang taong pinasok niya sa buhay niya.
Sa last part nung story marereveal kung gaano ka aawaan yung character ni Jeremy na pinortray ko.
How did you get the role of Jeremy?
Well I auditioned for it, we had script readings with Direk Ivan. After a week or two, they called me, they asked me at that time to play the role of Jeremy. Wala talaga akong expectations at all, hindi ko din alam na eto yung magiging first movie ko with Ideafirst
What preparations have you done for the role?
When it comes to the preparations, nothing much. Maswerte rin ako kasi ang naging acting background ko nasimulan ko is sa theater so parang nirecall ko lang din yung mga kailangan ko irecall para madeliver ko ng maayos yung character.
How similar is Jesse to Jeremy?
Very malayo, sobrang hindi ko nga nakita yung sarili ko eh someone was actually saying na ang layo ko dun sa Jeremy na pinakita ko dun sa movie and I can really say na walang any similarities. Siguro kung meron man yung pagiging mapagmahal ko talaga as a person kasi when I love someone I really give my all.
We’ve seen the movie and it’s quite wild, will you be shedding off your clothes more often for your roles?
Well, preferably sana ibang ano naman tema ng movie, but I am not closing my doors to accept the same kind of projects.As an actor you have to be versatile, you’ll never know anong darating.
How was the experience doing the intimate scenes?
I am prepared naman mentally and emotionally, thank you so much kay Direk Ivan because before kami sumalang talagang ininstill nya sa utak namin na eto yung mga eksenang kailangan naming gawin everything is mutually agreed upon bago namin gawin yung mga eksenang yun, buti na lang magagaling din yung mga actor na kasama ko.
How far can you go for a role? Would you go all the way?
Siguro yun na yung nagawa ko as Jeremy yun na yung pinaka peak na kaya kong magawa
