Really, now. This supposed May-December affair is a bust. While drumbeaters are tripping all over themselves playing matchmakers to sexy star Sam Pinto and teen actor Alden Richards, the alleged "cougar" couldn't be more perplexed.
"It's flattering, but I'm not really that much older than Alden," Sam told us. "He's 19; I'm 21. Just because of my sexy image … people think I'm a cradle snatcher."
Truth to tell, Sam said she prefers "someone who's mature and will take care of me. Then again… Alden can very well surprise me!"
Taking his cue, Alden "surprised" Sam with dinner aboard a Manila Bay cruise ship, with the help of sweetdeals.com.ph and Barbara's restaurant on their first date last week.
