The actor described Nicolas as the male counterpart of Betty. “Kung pagmamasdan mo itsura nila para silang pinagbiyak na kamatis. Sa ugali, pareho sila ng pangarap sa buhay gusto nilang maging successful kaya lang si Nicolas ang hangad ay magka-girlfriend ng maganda at sexy,” the actor added.

Navarro said that Nicolas will play a vital role for Betty. In the series Nicolas will be the sounding board or confidant of Betty.

“Feeling ko kami lang ang nagkakaintindihan kasi nga dahil kami lang iyong magka-uri, kami lang ang magkabagay tapos nag-usap  kami sa ending na kapag  hindi siya nakapag-asawa hindi ako nakapag-asawa kami ang magkakatuluyan, parang naka-kontrata iyon sa aming dalawala,” says Navarro.

The actor admitted that they haven’t started taping for the series but they’re done with the cast pictorial.

For the series, Navarro will be working for the first time with other stars like actress-beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez and Alonzo.

“Sila sir Ronaldo Valdez medyo matagal-tagal na iyan basta excited ako sa project kasi maraming mga bago, si Meryll Soriano nandito din at first time na makaka-trabaho,” Navarro said.

The actor said that for the series he still prepared to give justice to his new role. He admitted that he asked for a copy of the original version of "Betty La Fea" from Colombia.

He watched the series to get information on how he’s going to portray the character of Nicolas.

“Kinuha ko iyong pinaka-original sa Colombia, para mapag-aralan ko kung paano manamit, kung paano ang mannerism at arte ni Nicolas doon, so dadagdagan ko na lang,” explains Navarro.

The actor said that as an artist he doesn’t mind if people will start teasing him “ugly” because of his role as Nicolas.

“Sanay ako diyan hindi ba nagsimula naman ako ang mga roles ko mga ganyan o  kaya bading, ngayon lang naman ako nagkakaroon ng parang matinee idol look o mga agent o Don Romantico so ito binabalik lang siguro, siguro na miss ng tao ang ganoong characters ko,” Navarro said.

He even added that he is really excited to do a character he's done often enough previously: that of a good-hearted nerd.

Navarro shared that the cast, production staff and all the persons behind the series are all excited.

“Inabangan ito sa buong mundo at first time natin sa Pilipinas na magkakaroon tayo ng Betty La Fea alam ko na marami na ang excited na mapanood ito ganoon din ako nate-tense lang ako kasi sana ay magustuhan nila ang character ko as Nicolas,” Navarro said.
Navarro started his career as a member of the dance group "Street Boys". He was then discovered by Director Chito Roño, who continues to serve as his manager. He is well-known for his movies "Mr. Suave," "Gagamboy" and Supapahlicious.”

Late last year, the self-proclaimed Jim Carrey of the Philippines launched his first television series "Lastikman". Navarro is a regular performer of ABS-CBN’s weekly variety show "ASAP."
Navarro is a father to his two sons Frederick Vhong Navarro and Isaiah Vhong Navarro. He is set do a new movie “Spirit Warriors” with Director Roño.

“Ito iyong Spirit Warriors (part 2) parang ganoon actually dapat part 3 na pero dahil ibang producers na ang gagawa ay iibahin na ng konti,” the actor said.

He will also do another film with a Malaysian director that they will shoot in Taiwan.

Navarro also said that he is  also preparing for the return of his superhero character “Lastikman.”
