Aljur Abrenica Files Suit to be Released from GMA 7

GMA contract star Aljur Abrenica wants to end his contract with GMA 7 and he has gone to court to end it. Apparently, Aljur has been unhappy with the way the network has been handling his career. He cited that he lost his Bench contract, that is, he can no longer strut his buff self in his Bench undies in fashion shows, because GMA has made him to sing naughty songs and was overall sloppy in driving his career. In other words, Aljur wants to be a serious actor and GMA is not letting him.

I get that Aljur, at the some point, would want to get out of his tweetums leading man roles opposite GMA starlets like Kris Bernal. And it’s also natural for him to be jealous of the likes of Alden Richard, who signed up before him and now can brag about being leading man to Marian Rivera in Carmela.

It’s all good dreaming about being the Philippines' next major teleserye leading man, but... but Aljur has no acting talent. I know heartless, but it’s the truth. While Aljur was spending hours each day in the gym, he should have also made time for acting workshops with Laurice Guillen or Pen Medina.

Aljur’s got no acting chops to speak of, maybe that’s why we’re not seeing him in a primetime teleserye. His acting is as wooden as Machete in statue form and he’s got no personality. Well he’s got one; it’s just not engaging. 

Aljur says he’s got no other offers from any other network, so he’s really putting his career on the freeze. But I’d say he’s got one from ABS-CBN. If he doesn’t yet, he should try his hardest to get one. There’s ABS-CBS resident comedienne Ai-Ai de las Alas waiting in the wings to snap him up. 

From Louise de los Reyes to a hotness-sucking,man-eating insecure cougar – well, it’s better than going back to obscurity.
