Are you ready for sexy?

- Chonx Tibajia -

MANILA, Philippines - The bombshell Ms. Monroe, the lean Ms. Aniston, the strange Kat Von D, and overachiever Adele — all proof that the world is ready for all sorts of sexy. Men, too, have become diversified. Obvious choice Bradley Cooper may have been last year’s “Sexiest Man Alive”; then again, Joel McHale, Jason “Drogo” Momoa and even Alec Baldwin were also on the list.

But what makes a person sexy, anyway? In an interview with The STAR at the launch of “Century Tuna Superbods 2012: Salute to Sexy” held last Feb. 16 at Makati Shangri-La, two of our best specimens and newest Century Tuna endorsers, Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsey, tackled the subject and everything that goes with it, like being fit and being in love.

PHILIPPINE STAR: What is your fitness secret?

DEREK RAMSAY: Nah, we were born this way. (Laughs)

ANNE CURTIS: I eat healthy and do light exercises.

DEREK: People think it’s in the genes, but actually it was a lot of hard work. I was always into sports and I was always eating healthy.

Who are your fitness idols?

ANNE: Victoria’s Secret Angels!

DEREK: Me, too!

ANNE: They’re more of my inspiration — no, “thinspiration.” Where I go to the gym, they play the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows. So you’re like: “Must. Get. That. Body!”

DEREK: They’re too thin. They look like that on TV, imagine, in person they must be like twigs.

What would you never eat?

ANNE: Wala. Don’t deprive yourself!

DEREK: When you have a fast metabolism because you eat properly and you eat healthy, you can have what you want. It’s okay to have cheat days.

ANNE: Correct! I’m not dieting right now because it’s my birthday, and my mom arrived before my concert so ang dami niyang dalang goodies. I’m trying to finish everything para hindi sayang.

“When you have a fast metabolism because you eat properly and you eat healthy, you can have what you want. It’s okay to have cheat days,” says Derek. “On cheat days, I eat chocolates and chips,” says Anne.

On your cheat days, what do you indulge in?

DEREK: Ice cream, doughnuts.

ANNE: Chocolate! Chocolates and chips — anything potato, in all forms.

What are you doing to prepare for the Century Tuna Superbods event in Boracay on April 14?

ANNE: Working out, doing basic exercises. Nothing too hardcore. I went hardcore for No Other Woman. Now I just do maintenance and yoga.

DEREK: I can’t really do any workouts because my arm is broken, so I guess I’m practicing drinking beer for my biceps? I don’t want really shock my body, so just cardio here and there.

Who for you is the sexiest man or woman?

ANNE: Victoria’s Secret Angels and Angelina Jolie.

Who’s your favorite Angel?

ANNE: Miranda Kerr. She just had a baby but look at her body! That’s true inspiration — having a baby and looking like that!

DEREK: Jessica Alba. She has the perfect body. She has the perfect mouth. She’s just absolutely perfect!

What do find sexy in a man or woman?

DEREK: Hot is when you have a good body. Sexy is when you have the mind to back it up. That’s when somebody’s really sexy. You can say so many people are hot, but few are really sexy.

ANNE: For me, someone is sexy when he’s the total package. He can make me laugh, has nice lips — kissable — has a nice body, and is a good conversationalist.

DEREK: Confidence, also.

ANNE: Pero cute din ‘pag nahihiya.

What’s the sexiest thing you’ve done for your boyfriend/girlfriend?

ANNE: That’s too personal! (Laughs)

DEREK: Yeah, next question! You know I’m not gonna answer that!

Maybe a GP answer?

ANNE: How can you be sexy kung GP! (Laughs)

How do you know you’re in love?

ANNE: Butterflies!

DEREK: C’mon, no. You always have butterflies in your tummy every time you start a relationship.

ANNE: I guess when it goes beyond that. When your butterflies are consistent. When they’re always there, when a simple note you find in your wallet makes you go “Eep!”

When was the last time you cried?

DEREK: No Other Woman. I cried in a scene. I hardly cry. I think I have more tears of joy than sadness. I’m assuming you want tears of sadness…

Any kind of tears.

DEREK: At my sister’s wedding, I had to give a speech, say goodbye… and all I said was, “Sis,” then cried. That was my speech.

ANNE: Last night, at my birthday celebration with my fans. They made a really, really beautiful AVP. I was so touched.

What’s your greatest extravagance and your favorite cheap thrill?

ANNE: My greatest extravagance, maybe property. My cheap thrill… Lala! The chocolate.

DEREK: My car is my greatest extravagance. And pancit canton.
