Jon Lucas recalls instance a 'Black Rider' viewer recognized him as his character Calvin at a mall and ‘pinched’ and reprimanded him
Jon Lucas’ character as Calvin in “Black Rider” is surely an unforgettable one!
In an online media interview on Thursday, the “Black Rider” actor shared a funny and unforgettable encounter with a fan, while out of his character.
“One time nasa mall kami tapos may binibili kami sa isang parang drugstore sa loob. May nakasabay kami sa pila na parang mommy or tita. Tapos habang nakapila, namukhaan niya ako. ‘Ay si Calvin!’ Tapos bigla akong kinurot dito braso. Sabi niya ‘ikaw ang sama-sama ng ginagawa mo kay Elias! Ayaw mong tigilan!’ ganon,” Jon shared.
But upon seeing an amused and smiling Jon, the woman quickly realized her mistake and smiled at the actor.
“‘Yon pa lang naman ang na-experience ko. Pero medyo na-feel ko talaga ‘yong kurot niya kasi nga parang nanay-nanay na e. ‘Yong parang kurot ng nanay eh. Nakakatuwa naman po,” he added.
Jon is playing Calvin Magallanes, an antagonist, in the Kapuso action series.
The son of the Golden Scorpion syndicate leader played by Raymond Bagatsing, Calvin is also the arch nemesis of Ruru Madrid’s character Elias Guerrero also known as “Black Rider.”
His villain role has earned the Kapuso actor “the most hated villain on primetime” moniker, as well as the TV Supporting Actor of the Year at the 5th VP Choice Awards, proving his kontrabida prowess.
"Black Rider" also stars Kylie Padilla, Yassi Pressman, Katrina Halili, Matteo Guidicelli, Philip Salvador, Empoy Marquez, Janus del Prado, Jayson Gainza, Rainier Castillo, and more.
The series airs weeknights on GMA Telebabad at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras."
