LOVE at first text ang kuwento nang pag-iibigan nina John Legend at Chrissy Teigen.
Nakapanayam ang 37-year-old na singer ng ET noong Biyernes para i-promote ang kanyang bagong pelikula na Southside With You, na tungkol sa first date nina Barack at Michelle Obama. Pero hindi mapigilan ni Legend na ikuwento tungkol sa sariling love story.
“I fell in love with her over the phone because she is good with those 140 characters,” pabirong sabi ni John, nang tanungin kung paano siya nabighani at umibig sa modelo ng Sports Illustrated.
“(At the beginning of our relationship) we were texting a lot, and I started to see her sense of humor,” dagdag niya. “We would talk on the phone, and I started to fall in love with how engaging and witty and funny she is.”

“And I think that’s when I really started to know that this was the kind of person I wanted to around a lot,” kuwento pa ng All of Me singer. “Once we started spending more time together between tour stops and all this other stuff, we realized we had such a connection – and then it blossomed into a marriage and a baby.”
“I wasn’t nervous about it,” patuloy niya. “When you feel a real connection to somebody, for me it wasn’t nerves, it was more like excitement. ‘Oh, this could be great.’”
Marahil ang sariling love story ni John Legend ang nagbigay inspirasyon sa kanya para ikuwento ang romantic tale nina Barack at Michelle Obama. Executive producer ang Grammy winner ng Southside With You, at sumulat din ng kanta para sa pelikula.
“The movie is such a great love story and makes you feel their romance, and it makes you believe in the power of love and of people finding the person that is really the right match for them,” aniya. “The song (I wrote) is called Start, and the idea behind the song is we don’t know unless we start, so we have to try it. We have to engage.”
“I felt like that was the message Barack was trying to give to Michelle in the film,” dagdag ni Legend.
At kung paano nag-react ang mga Obama sa paningin ni Legend sa kanilang love story? Ito ang hinihintay pa ni Legend, ang kanilang feedback. “I told them about it the last time I saw them and encouraged them to see it, and we will make sure they get a copy if they haven’t seen it yet,” aniya. “I think they will like it.”
Nakapanayam din kamakailan ng ET ang gumaganap na first lady ng pelikula na si Tika Sumpter, na hindi na rin makapaghintay na marinig ang reaksiyon ng mga Obama.
“I put so much work into it,” aniya. “I just hope she likes it.” - ET Online
