John Lloyd Cruz acknowledges that he has his fair share of shortcomings.

Heartthrob John Lloyd Cruz shed light on his rumored drinking binges at the press conference for his latest movie "Miss You Like Crazy."

Being very much the nice person that he is, John Lloyd answered the query confidently.

No, he is not an alcoholic but he did acknowledge that he has his fair share of shortcomings.

“Tao rin kami. Kahit na artista kami and nagiging successful, hindi naiiwasan na makagawa ka ng bagay na hindi nakakatuwaan ng ibang tao, lalung-lalo na ng pamilya mo, ng magulang mo. Doon sa mga bagay na nangyari na, minsan hindi mo maipagmamalaki o hindi mo kayang ipagmalaki ang sarili mo dahil medyo sumadsad ka doon...

"Ang maganda kasi roon is that alam mo na meron kang pagkakataon, ‘yong sinasabi nila na, how you rise above it...mas masarap mag-focus doon dahil pagkatapos mong matuto, ‘yung maibibigay mo sa kapwa mo, maibibigay mo sa sarili mo, ‘yun ang magma-matter kaysa sa past mo,” he said.      

In reference to his newest movie's title, Lloydie was asked if he is currently and crazily missing somebody.

Initially, Lloydie gave a very “showbiz” answer.

“Nami-miss ko ang mommy ko, friends ko. Marami akong mga kaibigan na matagal ko nang hindi nakikita all over the world. Kahit kuya ko…the last time na nakasama ko siya, about a year ago pa,” he said.

He eventually gave in though—but not to the point that he actually named the person.

“Of course, you miss the good times. Nami-miss mo ‘yung mga araw na nagkasama kayo... alam ko naman kung sino ang sinasabi mo. We’re still in communication. We’re still good friends. I can’t say I miss her like crazy kasi nagkakausap kami,” he explained.

As to what makes his team-up with perennial screen partner Bea Alonzo click with fans, Lloydie simply credits "chemistry."

“’Di ba dati lagi nating sinasabi na [we have this] chemistry. Hindi namin dini-disillusion ang mga tao. We were able to keep that. ‘Yung values na meron ang team-up namin, hindi nawala. Poprotektahan namin iyon. ‘Pag umabot na kami sa punto na pinapaniwala namin ang mga sumusuporta sa amin para bumili ng tiket para panoorin kami, I think doon na mag-e-end ang team up namin ni Bea.”

It took all of three years for Bea and John Lloyd to team up again and the latter acquiesced that he did miss her all this time.

“Talagang miss na miss ko siya. Ang tagal kong inabangan ang balik-tambalan namin ni Bea hindi lang sa big screen kundi maging off screen. Medyo lumalamlam kasi ang closeness nami. Dahil sa pelikulang ito, I’m happy to say na ‘yung closeness namin ni Bea, parang nanumbalik, bumabalik siya kaya masayang-masaya ako,” said the box-office heartthrob.
