Gerald Anderson, in his recent interview with Toni Gonzaga on Toni Talks, candidly talked about the longstanding public perception of him as a "babaero" or a cheater in the world of showbiz.

Toni did not shy away from the issue, telling him directly, "Ang tingin sayo ng mga tao is either babaero ka or cheater." In response, Gerald stood his ground and clarified the narrative surrounding his romantic history: "Alam niyo kung sino yung mga naging girlfriends ko eh, hindi ko naman maitatago yun, alam niyo eh. Kapag sila yung girlfriend ko, sila talaga. Walang iba."

This statement prompted Toni to follow up, "So hindi ka nag-cheat?" To which Gerald simply replied by saying no to the rumors, "No. Basta kapag naririnig na may break up na or wala na kayo, there has to be a reason. Eh hindi pwede yung hindi lang talaga kayo para sa isa't isa."

Later in the interview, they turned to the topic of temptation—an element in showbiz and in life, with Toni asking, "Pero you have to admit na, there are times na you fell into the temptation."

The actor then responded with much honesty that earned praise from some netizens: "Aaminin ko, it's almost impossible. Especially sa work natin, sa environment natin, sa situation natin, na hindi ka mafa-fall sa temptation. Especially at a young age. It's very hard to not fall into that."

Even when discussing his past relationships, Gerald was also reflective and sincere, "In terms of yung mga past relationships ko, never ako nagkaroon ng regrets because happy ako nung time na yun. Alam ko naman yung nangyari eh, hindi ko sinasabing maganda, at the end of the day naging failure ako eh," he said.

This led Toni to ask the actor, "So you admit na the failure was on your part?" With humility, he responded and admitted, "It was more on my part, and more on sana hinandle ko ng mas maayos. All I can say is... I could've been a better person, a better partner. I should've been better sa process na yun. I can't take back yung nangyari, and not just her, and yung naging ibang girlfriend ko. It was always me, ako talaga."
