BALIK-PINAS na si Billy Crawford kaya present na siya sa bagong episodes ng “Lunch Out Loud” na napapanood sa TV5.
Na-Marites kasi na ang kanilang LOL ay sisibakin na sa ere.
Kararating lang ni Billy mula sa Paris, France.
Balak kasi irevive ng TV host ang career sa France, kung saan siya unang sumikat as a dancer and an international singer 20 years ago.
Magre-recording daw siya doon at before the year ends, magkakaroon siya ng concert sa nasabing bansa.
Kwento pa ni Billy, nabiktima Rin siya mga Maritess sa France.
Flattered daw siya na may nakakakilala pa rin sa kanya sa Paris where at one time he became a celebrity.
Sabi ni Billy, nasa isang pharmacy siya para bumili ng swab test dahil lilipad siya patungong Dubai.
Paglabas daw niya ng pharmacy, may isang guy na nag-approach sa kanya na halos kaedad niya and told him: “You’re a singer, you’re Billy Crawford.”
Sumagot naman daw siya ng “Yes.”
“I really thought you died and became a drug addict and disappeared,” sabi sa kanya ng lalaki.
Nagulat daw siya at natatawang sinabi na: “Of course, didn’t I. No I’m alive, never touched drugs, I’m good. I have a kid now.”
Tanong daw ng lalaki sa kanya: “I want to ask how is Amari (ang anak nila ni Coleen Garcia)?”
Biglang napaisip si Billy na may alam pa rin ang lalaki tungkol sa buhay niya.
‘”Now suddenly you know who my son is but I’m dead. These, too, were invented. There are more Marites there, ” natatawang sabi ni Billy.
May isa pa rin daw na encounter ang nangyari sa kanya doon.
“There’s an ale (or woman) at the counter who’s hurting me, I gave him my ID and then he looked at the ID, said it’s you?” “Yes, no… when I was a kid I used to watch you, I really loved you, tapos the woman turned to someone younger who also works there.
“You know this guy?” No, I don’t know who that other one is. “It’s Billy Crawford, I was a big throwback to Paris and then when I was little, I said” where were you 20 years ago? ” because my song came out 20 years ago. He said, “I was born 19 years ago” ‘I’m not human yet, okay no, you don’t know me. That’s why it’s cute,” kuwento pa ng TV host.
Paliwanag naman ni Billy sa nababalitang mawawala na sa ere ang progama nilang LOL: “Here (LOL) we don’t bubble anymore, there are some people who can go home but the staff, crew, they bubble at the hotel so Cong is smart (Albee Benitezof Brightlight Productions).”
Iginiit din ni Billy for the nth time, na hindi mawawala sa ere ang LOL.
Dahil naging magkaibigan sila ni Vice Ganda, hiningan si Billy ng reaksyon sa pagpapakasal nina Vice at Ion Perez.
“Ahh congrats. I’m not a bitter person, am I? If it’s unity they do to get married and if they get married, that’s all I can say to them and advice: no matter what happens, fight for your love for each other that’s all.
“Because many envy many will try to separate you. People are demons so they should remember that they are the only two in a relationship.”
