"Rosalinda" star Fernando Carillo revealed that he once went on a date with Korina Sanchez.

On Thursday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, the Venezuelan actor said he's always been in awe of the beauty of a Filipina.

"I don't think I fell in love, but I've always been attracted to the beauty of Filipino women," Fernando said.

"I've met some very beautiful women, and I keep meeting beautiful women," he added.

When asked if he had ever dated a Filipina, Fernando did not answer right away but eventually spilled when Tito Boy prodded him further.

"I have huge respect for Korina Sanchez, she's a good friend, and I respect her very much," he said.

"We did an amazing interview in Miami, and then I came to the Philippines once, and we went to have dinner with some friends," he added.

Fernando is best known for his character Fernando Jose alongside Thalia in "Rosalinda." In 2009, GMA did a remake of "Rosalinda" starring Carla Abellana.
