Richard and KC will miss each other

By Joseph Peter R. Gonzales

Now that their movie When I Met You under GMA and Regal Entertainment has been completed and ready for its Feb. 11 release, Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion revealed that they would surely miss each other.

?Definitely, I?ll really miss KC, especially the high energy she has shown while doing the film. Even if for example, she still lacked sleep, it wouldn?t reflect on her attitude in the set. She uplifts everyone with her infectious high energy level. That?s why she?s well-loved by the whole staff and crew. I will also miss all her tofu meals. She?s a vegetarian in case you don?t know,? Richard announced.

?As for me, I?ll miss Chard?s very relaxed disposition. He made every day in the set a fiesta moment. He doesn?t get stressed easily. He made our working days memorable and I admire him for that,? countered KC.

Based on the film?s trailer, it?s obvious that director Joel Lamangan did a great job. One entertainment writer even said that When I Met You is better than For the First Time.

?We?re happy that in spite of all the initial hitches, the movie turned out [to be] fine. In fact, in our last shooting day, we hugged Direk Joel tight for the wonderful result after viewing the rushes. He told us [that] doing the project posed as a challenge for him [not sure] if he could still pull it off in the light-romantic drama genre like When I Met You. Personally, he liked his work and we?re thankful that he was pleased with our performance,? Richard stated.

?Regarding the issue that When I Met You is better than our first movie, perhaps, it?s because we had more time doing it. We had enough time to improve the scenes. That was definitely good for the movie. That?s why we all turned in inspired work,? KC said.

Many are waiting to see their kissing scenes in the film that will tickle their fans to no end.

?That?s something they should all watch out for. As the story progresses, the kissing scenes become more passionate!? assured the handsome heartthrob.

Interestingly, when Richard celebrated his birthday on the set of the movie, KC surprised him with a unique gift.

?I saw an endangered fresh water turtle. I brought it to the set and presented it to Chard. I know that he?s an environmentalist and is active with his Green Peace Movement. We turned the turtle to the right authority to ensure its safety,? she told the movie press.

?I was touched. I appreciated her concern for my advocacy. I consider that turtle as our most solid memory of Palawan!? Richard said.

As to the persistent question about the true status of their relationship, the two gorgeous stars seriously answered:

?For the record, it?s still not us. We can?t force it. We?re not rushing. In the first place, we?re still young. We still have a lot of goals to fulfill. At this point, it will be very hard for us to commit!?

This time Dennis gets Heart

After the highly successful Gagambino, which will end next month, Dennis Trillo?s next project for GMA-7 will be for the afternoon program block. Here, he?ll be with Heart Evangelista whose Luna Mystika is also a certified top rater.

?I will surely miss Gagambino and all the people involved in it,? according to the dashing actor. ?It?s simply blood, sweat and tears for all us, so to speak, just to bring only the best for our loyal patrons. But it?s all worth it. Because of their unending support, we consistently registered high ratings. In our last weeks, expect for more highlights.?

His next project is a dramatic vehicle, which he welcomes gladly.

?Actually, doing an action-fantasy like Gagambino is physically draining. In fact, I have minor bruises or scratches every now and then. I think that next show with Heart will be a breather. I also did numerous drama shows before I did Zaido and Gagambino so I also miss this stuff.?

Dennis doesn?t hide the fact that he admires Heart ever since. He admits he became happy when she decided to move to the Kapuso camp.

?Yes, I wouldn?t deny that I have a crush on Heart and I?m glad that we?ll be given the chance to work together. But I?m not entertaining the thought that we?ll be linked romantically since she made public her involvement with a non-showbiz guy,? quips Dennis.
