"Moonlight Desire" is the title of an upcoming afternoon soap opera topbilled by Kapamilya hunk JC de Vera.

JC de Vera, during the Metro Body Show Off party on January 11 at Opus in Resorts World Manila, revealed that he is also doing the soap opera with the working title “Moonlight Desire” on ABS-CBN aside from the upcoming primetime series “The Legal Wife” with Maja Salvador, Jericho Rosales and Angel Locsin. The sexy afternoon soap is scheduled to air this summer and her leading ladies will be sexy actress Meg Imperial and the new “pantasya ng bayan” Ellen Adarna, who apparently left the Kapuso gag show “Bubble Gang” to transfer to ABS-CBN.

JC is one of the 25 celebrities who posed naked on Metro Magazine’s annual body issue. And with a sexy soap opera in the offing, is 2014 the year that he will go “daring” than ever?

“Ever since naman masipag talaga akong mag workout, mag showcase sa kung anong meron ako. Nung lumipat ako sa ABS, siguro mas madaming naka-appreciate kung anong meron ako,” he said.

The hunk actor also divulged that he will show a lot of skin in “Moonlight Desire” and described the plot of the series as “sensual.”

But is he ready to go nude in an indie film and tackle gay roles in the future?

“Depende sa selling point nung film. Kung ibebenta ako as sexy, hindi. But if needed talaga siya ng character, kakayanin ko kung hanggang saan ang itatakbo ng role.

“Butt exposure, hindi siya issue sakin. Sa Hollywood naman kasi, yung butt exposure normal lang sa kanila. Kapag kailangan talaga sa character, hindi ako magdadalawang isip. Pero pag ang indie film may pagka-porn na ang dating, di siguro,” he explained.

Catch JC de Vera on “The Legal Wife,” his first TV series on ABS-CBN, which is set to hit primetime on January 27.
