Tom plays the ‘What makes you #MARKSBETTER’ game
Though Tom Rodriguez is your ultimate ladies’ man, and it comes as no secret that after his successful My Husband’s Lover stint, he has become a sight for the men, too. Cliché as it may sound, there is definitely more Tom than meets the eye. A man of many layers waiting to be discovered, he is definitely the epitome of the best there is out there.
So, what does he do that sets him apart from the rest? He candidly jokes about having to always be the “mas better” choice in all his marks — “I like authenticity — staying true to yourself, being honest,” he says. This also goes to show in all the other aspects of his life, he truly stays consistent to his identity and this is probably what makes him so endearing to his Filipino fans. Tom played “What makes you #MARKSBETTER.” What’s a #MARKSBETTER day for you? “A #MARKSBETTER day for me would be when I get to relax at home and paint. It brings me back to preshowbiz days.
“Yes I do (paint), that’s something people are always surprised to hear about me actually.”
What about a #MARKSBETTER girl? “Ay, this is a tough one. I always like looking for the complete package — beauty and brains but more importantly, someone I can have great conversations with.” What is a #MARKSBETTER date for you? “Honestly? I prefer a simple, no-frills date. As I said, I love conversations, so something that doesn’t distract you from the person is a good thing.”
What’s your favorite #MARKSBETTER food? “My weakness is flame-grilled burgers — and that’s very hard to find here in Manila. My usual go-to place is Burger King for quick fastfood runs. I love their 100-percent beef Whoppers.”
What makes you a #MARKSBETTER man? “Just stay true. That’s the most important thing.”
