Baron Geisler feels no need for rehab

Actor Baron Geisler said he feels no need to undergo rehabilitation treatment for his drinking problem.

In an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Geisler denied that he is addicted to alcohol.

"I don't need it. I'm a working actor. Ito na lang, panoorin niyo na lang po ang lahat ng trabaho ko. Kasi kung alchoholic po ako, hindi ko po magagawa ang lahat na success sa trabaho ko," Geisler explained.

The actor admitted he has not stopped drinking, but claimed he is just an occasional drinker.

"No. I haven't stopped. I drink once in a while, occasional, but no more being bad boy. It's just on TV, that's it," he said.

Although there is no way he can prevent people from saying he is "bad," the awarded actor appealed to his critics to stop judging him. "If they say that I'm bad, it's okay."

The Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Season 2 housemate said he is thankful for all the blessings he has received, including a new ABS-CBN television series, "Tayong Dalawa" with Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca.

Baron, who made headlines when the daughter of actor William Martinez and Yayo Aguila filed a harassment case against him, said he is focused on trying to fulfill his dream of having his own house, his own show, and being another Piolo Pascual, a popular and highly-paid actor.

"Minsan kasi, puro Baron, Baron lang. Gusto ko naman ngayon, pera para mabigyan ko ang mommy ko ng bahay," he said.
