Mark Anthony Fernandez says he's praying that his first pairing with Marian Rivera in "Darna" will be supported by viewers. "Siyempre, hindi ako identified sa kanya kaya nandun ang kaba," he adds. "I must admit that at first, medyo nahihiya pa nga ako sa kanya kasi siya'ng top leading lady ng GMA- 7, pero ngayon, mas relaxed na ako in her company kasi dapat na magkaroon kami ng magandang chemistry on screen. Nakakatuwa siyang kasama at masarap ding kakuwentuhan kaya hindi na ako naiilang sa kanya. I really feel fortunate na ako ang napiling makasama niya rito, kaya very thankful din ako sa GMA7 sa patuloy nilang pagtitiwala sa'kin. "

Just like in his past pairings with Iza Calzado and Heart Evangelista, he doesn't expect to be linked with Marian. "Viewers know on screen lang ang pagpapareha namin as I'm a happily married man. I don't expect to be compared with her ka-love team, Dingdong Dantes, kasi phenomenal na ang inabot ng tambalan nila. Mahirap pantayan 'yun. But I'm sure magiging maganda rin ang samahan namin ni Marian dito sa 'Darna'. "

Mark is really happy with the way his career is going and he wants to thank his late father Rudy Fernandez, for continuing to guide him up to now. "Alam kong naririyan pa rin siya at 'di ako pinababayaan. Heto nga, may bago akong movie at kasama ako sa 'Shake Rattle & Roll XI' ng Regal for the Metro Filmfest. "

GENEROUS RICHARD AND FAMILY
