Ernesto Calzadilla: Then and Now

Ok guys ... I'll put you in the spot! We love our pageant candidates so dearly , especially the ones that we think deserves to win. We fought in their behalf ... and we answered critics in forums who gave below the belt comments about the way they walk ... and the way they look.

But time run so fast. And by the time you knew it ... the pageant idol that we put in the pedestal starts to grow grey hairs ... grow some mustache ... and the face that used to launch a thousand ships ... starts to grow wrinkles ... and of course there are unwanted fats somewhere.

Ernesto Calzadilla  was the popular in Mr. Venezuela in 1999 and in Manhunt International 1999 held in the Philippines.. He captivated everyone with his winsome smile ... and in his prime his abs and pecs winks. His stage presence absorbs you ... and when he flash those smile the dark stage lit. Eight years to be exact, did Ernesto maintain his magic ... or the ageing process starts to take its toll.

Latin Titleholder: Ernesto Calzadilla

Ernesto Calzadilla won Mr. Venezuela 1998 and later he was sent to represent Venezuela in Manila to participate in Manhunt International 1999. I was able to rub elbows with him and thru photographer Edwin Tan I had his cap that shows Venezuelan flag. I still have the cap with me, because I kept it as souvenir. He won the contest allright, and aside from his physical attribute ... he was very friendly. We even talk long distance when he went back to Venezuela, and he even send me updates when he was working as a model in Singapore. Nice man indeed! Keep it up!

MR. Venezuela 1999 started with a lot of furor and heat , when candidates ofthe contest had a man to woman tete-a-tete with Venezuela's Oprah Winfrey Miss Maite Delgado, (she herself being a beauty queen in her time). The group was impeccable and television audience had their mouth open watching all that hunky manly specimen talking, you can pinch yourself if your dreaming or not . Ernesto Calzadilla was a graduating student in aquaculture then and he is not the only one that shone that day. If 10 Mr. Venezuela can be accomodated in Manhunt that's fine, because they can be winners themselves. They are even more good looking than the reps of other countries. Sorry to say that. Ernesto Calzadilla was scheduled to represent Venezuela in Mr. World being the top winner, sad to say Mr. World didn't live up to its promise of being an annual affair. So that when Ernesto showed for Manhunt 1999 in Manila, I asked him where Numa Delgado was , (He was the other top winner), and Ernesto responded with a No Comment reply. What I find endearing with Ernesto is his penchant in trying to communicate with me in English even though he is sweating bullets everytime he opened his mouth. Although he bungled his English every now and then, he didn't care less.. What a true gentleman!

Ernesto Calzadilla won Manhunt 1999 (Gloria Diaz Miss Universe 1969 was one of the judges). John Abraham of India , his most credible rival won second. The two seemed to share the same parallelism, because when both went back to their countries , the movie industry is waiting. . John Abraham went straight to Bollywood, same with Ernesto. Ernesto however made a wider splash- as he tried with television, movies, stage and even behind cameras. In 2001 Ernesto tried theater via "El Monologo de la Penehabilidad". He also conquered television: Chatodromo in 2003, Chatodromo Recarcado in 2004, Telebingo Familiar in 2004, La Fea Mas Bella with Televisa in 2006 and Fama- Suder Y Lagrimas in 2006 to 2007. He also did movies the most popular being "Somewhere In Venezuela" in 2002.
