Up and coming ABS-CBN prime leading man Daniel Padilla will be playing the role of a young Robin Padilla in the teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw. Daniel, who is Robin's nephew is a perfect fit for the role of the young Robin as the two shares common nuances.
Daniel Padilla is the son of Robin’s brother Rommel with actress Karla Estrada. Currently, Daniel is playing the role of Gino in the primetime royal teleserye, Princess and I.
In an interview with ABS-CBN news, Daniel himself revealed that he will play the teenager version of Robin's character in the series Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw. Robin will be starring opposite Kris Aquino and Anne Curtis in the said ABS-CBN teleserye.
“Ngayon sa teleserye nila Kris Aquino at ni Tito Robin, batang Robin ho ako dito,” Daniel said.
The young Padilla also said that he will be appearing in an action movie togeter with his father Rommel and uncle Robin. Daniel finished filming the scenes in two days.
“May ginagawa po kami nila Tito Robin, ni Papa na movie, kaya abangan ho ninyo. Action ho ito, at mag-a-action po ako,” revealed Daniel.
In a report by Gretchen Fullido aired on TV Patrol tonight, May 1, Daniel said that he does not want to enter right now into a serious relationship as he sees this as a 'hassle' yet he did not deny his liking of Kathryn.
“Hindi ko naman itinatago na gusto ko si Kathryn. Medyo naha-hassle lang ako ngayon mangligaw, baka puro selos abutin ko. Opo [seloso ako]. Kasi ho talagang ugali ho ng mga Padilla ang pagiging seloso, sa totoo lang. Siyempre di ba, sino ang gusto na may kahati?” he said.
Daniel, being jealous, might be referring to Kathryn's other leading men in Princess and I, Enrique Gil and Khalil Ramos.
