Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 237 - Women Love You

"Moving on. Let's talk about your new movie. Kevin Heart... the next installment is being filmed right now. How is that going?" So, the time for greetings and fun was over.

Getting down to business, Cage replied. "We started filming six weeks ago and the progress has been phenomenal. It's a lot to do in a short period of time and the demand is higher than ever. You know how Director Sam loves perfection." Giselle nodded in understanding.

"You're still doing your own stunts. It takes considerable amount of training to achieve the level of perfection you bring to the table. What has been your method to achieve this?" This was a question he didn't get as often as he would like.

"I have to train hard every day of the week and there is little time to rest in between. I am eating consistently and making sure I am safe during those scenes. That is what matters the most to me: the safety of my team and I." It was the truth. Stunts could be extremely dangerous. At best, he would have a minor injury, but one mistake and he could end up in the hospital.

He didn't want that for himself.

"How do you maintain this routine when you are between the Heart films? You have been doing other films in between. Your schedule... what does it look like?" Cage looked at Giselle with a curious look. She was definitely leading up to something but he wasn't sure what it was exactly. He decided to remain cautious and think over his words carefully before he replied.

"I tend to wake up at the wee hours of the morning and work out. My trainer doesn't let up on the routine, usually, so I remain in good strength and retain stamina even when I am filming. It does get very difficult to keep up with everything at once, but at the end of the day... I chose this path." He shrugged.

"Action movies are hard to film," she acknowledged. "You've mainly focused on action for all these years, but rumor has it, you are moving away from that and going into romances and more mature plots." Cage paused and looked at her. So, this was her game.

"Personally, I feel that an actor should be versatile." Short answers so that he doesn't walk into a trap.

"That is to say that you won't be doing any more action films in the near future?" Cage thought very carefully about how he should answer. He shot to fame because of his action movies. If he removed himself from that genre completely, he would lose out on a lot of traction. At the same time, filming action got boring really quickly. It didn't challenge him any longer and he felt stunted in his acting career. He needed more to prove himself worthy.

"I am not going to stop doing action movies. If something catches my interest in the future, I will jump at the opportunity." Conservative answer that couldn't be picked apart. He was happy with that response.

"People know you for your action movies. What else would they come to see you for?" she asked with a clever look in her eye. Cage returned her gaze and thought carefully about how to answer. Though the question might seem like a personal attack, this was something he was frequently asked by people in the industry. The audience wanted to know what he would do next. At some point, he would have to answer those questions. The question was: how?

I can't really say what roles I will take on in the future, but I am sure I will know the perfect roles when I come across them. Until then, I can only hope that people enjoy my acting and feel like my journey as an actor is worth following." He gave her a polite smile. One thing was for use. There would be at least one fan who would watch every movie he acted in.

I'll wait patiently to find out what you have in your sleeves, then," Giselle nodded. The stern tone let Cage know that she was settling for that answer for now.

"Talking about roles out of the norm for you. You acted in the movie 'Under the Stars' and it was a massive hit with the audience." It was a statement but Cage felt like he needed to reply or acknowledge it in some manner. It was an insinuation that he could talk about going into acting as romantic interests and what not. Cage didn't want to take the bait.

"I was astounded that people would come to watch me. It was a smaller production than the other films I have participated in and it was a romance. Both of those things made it quite unlikely that the film would do well, but at the end of the day, it did really well in the box office." From the corner of his eyes, he could see the photographers snap pictures of him. For a second, Cage wondered what was so fascinating about his expression that the man was intently clicking pictures of him.

"Women love you!" Giselle pointed out. Cage squinted at her, trying to figure out if she was part of that group. It didn't seem like the case. It was rare for a journalist to grill him and try to ween out information from him without sighing and giggling about meeting him. It was hard to believe for most, but it was the sad truth.

"For some reason, they do. I'm eternally grateful for that. I should also thank all the male friends, boyfriends, and husbands who accompanied these women to watch my movie. I know there was not a lot of action in the movie, but I hope they enjoyed it as well." Cage let out a small chuckle, satisfied with his little speech.

"The role was unconventional to say the least... for you. What prompted you to take on that role?" Easy peasy.

"The character was an odd combination of self-assured and vulnerable that really resonated with me. For once, I wanted to act like the hot male lead that women swoon over and still show the depth of this man's emotions."
