Ali and Marco compare their roles with real life
TWO of the leading men of Ava Mendez in “Domme” are Ali Asistio and Marco Gomez, both regular hunks in Vivamax sex flicks. Ali has done three Vivamax flicks where he played supporting roles: “Kara Krus”, “Tag-init” and “Alapaap”.
He now plays the lead role of Cholo in “Domme”, a promdi who moves to Manila for greener pastures. In the condo where he lives, he would hear every night moans and groans from the horny couple in the next unit.
Curious about all the noise, he peeps on them and sees a dominatrix, Estelle (Ava Mendez), satisfying her lover, a chef named Raymond (Mark Anthony Fernandez), through scandalous sado-masochistic activities.
“I get addicted in watching them and Estelle sees me while I’m peeping but, instead of stopping me, parang she’s even encouraging me and seducing me,” he says. “The movie show how all this would affect me and my relationship with my neighbors.”
Can he relate with his role? “Actually, no. Very shy si Cholo kaya malayo sa’kin ang role ko dahil hindi naman ako shy in real life.”
Has he tried S&M acts in bed? How does he feel about it?
“No, I want making love to be loving and tender. But I don’t judge couples who experiment to make their sexual life more exciting. Pero kailangan, mutual decision to spice up their love making, walang pilitan. And sa akin, huwag lang yung threesome, kasi it becomes very complicated.”
Looks like he’s really into baring as an actor. How far is he willing to go? “As long as maganda ang role and the story, okay lang naman sa akin. Wala akong limitations, lalo kung kasundo ko yung director. But kung mabibigyan ng chance, i want to do better acting roles in more challenging films. Basta pagbubutihin ko at bahala na si Lord.”
As for Marco Gomez, he was raised in Vienna, Austria but he came to Manila when he was 19 to try his luck in local showbiz. He first became a member of a sing and dance boyband, Clique 5.
In 2021, he did ‘Silab’ for Viva, directed by Joel Lamangan where he did frontal nudity. He has since bared his body in other Vivamax releases like “House Tour”, “Do You Think I’m Sexy”, “Pabuya”, “Eva”, “High School on Sex” and now, “Domme”. So what’s his role in “Domme”?
“Ako yung assistant ni Mark Anthony Fernandez who knows his secrets,” he says. “Malupit ‘yung character ko sa chicks. So malayo siya sa personal life ko kasi mabait ako in real life samantalang siya, salbahe.”
Has he tried sado-masochisitc acts in bed? “I did, once nagpasampal-sampal ako sa partner ko and I realized I’m not into it. Mas gusto ko pa rin yung normal, gentle style of making love.”
