MANILA, Philippines — Blockbuster director Cathy Garcia-Molina saw John Lloyd Cruz in Alden Richards while directing the blockbuster movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye.”
During the movie’s blog conference on Thursday in Quezon City, "Direk" Cathy said her basis of acting is the on-leave Kapamilya star and she saw John Lloyd in Alden in the movie.
“Without ano to the John Lloyd fans ha, hindi ko kino-compare pero alam niyo naman na ang aking (batayan) ng actingan ay ang aking panganay na si John Lloyd. Merong mga portions na nakikita ko si Lloydie sa kanya (Alden). Meron siyang mga bitaw ng linya na 'parang si Idan ha.' Meron siyang bitaw na parang natural. At hindi lang ako nakapansin pati staff ko,” Direk Cathy said.
“Ang gusto ko sa kanya nung nakinig siya noong sinabi kong 'unlearn everything' kasi sabi ko, 'gusto ko yung rawness mo,' and naibigay naman niya. To me, acting is no acting at ayun ang gusto ko sa kanya,” she added.
In response, Alden said John Lloyd is one of his idols in the entertainment industry, so he is happy with what Direk Cathy said.
“Idol ko 'yun eh! Dun ako naging fan ni Direk Cathy, ni Idan at ni Miss Bea Alonzo, dun talaga sa 'One More Chance',” Alden confessed.
