Very candidly, Markki says, "Di naman ako wholesome, baka sa Pilipinas Got Talent, pero pagkatapos nun, may ginawa na akong baklang movie, di ba? I think pagkatapos nun nawala na yung wholesome-wholesome sa ko." Is he afraid that young kids who are part of his fans will start seeing him differently after learning how exposed he got in this role? Sa Europe, very, it's no malice, kapag art, kapag movie, kapag film, art talaga."
"Well, I grew up.galing ako sa Europe, e, normal yun sa amin.
How did he feel seeing himself in the movie, especially in the scenes with a lot of skin exposure? He shares, "Second time ko na eto, pero unang beses yung nakita ko from start to end kasi nalate ako the first time, galing ako SIR event noon, dumating ako halfway noon."
Deluged by screaming girls and guys outside the hall, all clamoring to get up close with the hunky actor, PEP.ph was able to interview the Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 alumnus. We caught up with Markki after the July 31 gala screening of Amor y Muerte at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Main Theater. While this is certainly not Markki's first daring role (he played a gay character in Cinema One Originals' Slumber Party), it is certainly the one where people are saying he seems the most confident, even though he showed a lot of skin for this project. In these scenes, his whole backside, side angles and near-frontal poses are included. He goes from passionately making love to his wife to the real version of himself as a Spanish soldier. In the film's opening sequences, moviegoers immediately see Markki in the buff. Markki is cast as the Spanish soldier married to Amor (played by Althea Vega). The film depicts the choices each one made to survive and adapt to colonial rule amidst the rise of Christendom in the country. Through the eyes of a Tagala, played by Althea Vega, the struggle to maintain whatever Pilipino identity is shown. It features Tagalogs or Indios who lived in 16th century Philippines during the initial stages of Spanish occupation. One of those who probably gained more than enough exposure from every angle is actor Markki Stroem.īorn Marcello Angelo Stroem, this Filipino-Norwegian finalist from ABS-CBN’s Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1, has been catching a lot of eyes lately with the amount of skin he exposed in Amor y Muerte.Īmor y Muerte (Spanish for Love and Death) is directed by Cesar Evangelista and is competing in the Directors Showcase category of Cinemalaya 2013.
