MANILA - Prince of Comedy Vic Sotto has rebuffed speculation that he was wooing Thai video jock and actress Paula Taylor.

Sotto denied the rumor during the press conference of his latest film LOL (Love On Line), with Taylor as his on-screen partner. He also belied rumor that his girlfriend, actress-host Pia Guanio, was jealous of Taylor.

"Hindi totoo 'yon. I'm not the type of producer and actor who will resort to mga gimmick na link, link. At si Pia naman she has nothing to be jealous about and she's not the type who would get jealous with a leading lady," Sotto told "SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon."

LOL is a romantic-comedy film produced by Sotto’s M-Zet Production.

Sotto admitted that he, along with the rest of the crew, merely looked after the Thai actress and took care of her during shootings since she is still new here. 

Taylor, on the other hand, echoed Sotto’s denial. "Probably on scene but nothing off screen."

The new star also assured Guanio that she has nothing to worry about because she and Sotto are just friends.

Taylor was one of the contestants of Amazing Race Asia 2 (ARA). She is dating her fellow ARA 2 contestant, Filipino actor-host Marc Nelson. abs-cbnNEWS.com
