They say that’s what Joel Lamangan, the director, told them when they were shooting their intimate scenes. “Or you will do that again and again,” they remember the director telling them. So, they did everything to make that a perfect take and, they sighed in great relief when after Lamangan shouted “cut’ told them they did just as they were told and he was very happy.
Jake Cuenca and Angeline Quinto think the audience will love what they will see in Regal Entertainment, Inc.’s initial offering for 2017, Foolish Love.
The pair went all out in their kissing and love scenes, unmindful of other people’s presence on the set while shooting the Joel Lamangan film.
Though quite jittery at first, Angeline dropped all inhibitions and threw all cautions to the wind to give justice to her and Jake’s steamy lovemaking scenes in the movie.
In Foolish Love, Angeline plays a character obsessed to meet the guy in her dreams. She then meets Jake, who shares a name with the guy in her dreams. Thinking he is indeed her destiny, Angeline falls madly in love with Jake. Theirs was a happy relationship until Angeline realizes Jake is not the man in her dreams.
The public will see a different Angeline Quinto in the movie. The singer-actress has evolved into a daring performer who met the demands of her character without reservations.
Jake, meanwhile, showed his passion for the craft. He didn’t mind getting soaked in the rain while waiting for Angeline in one scene. For that display of dedication to finish one of Foolish Love’s highlights, Jake earned nothing but good words from the director.
In Angeline’s case, the director has nothing but admiration for her growth as an actress. Lamangan worked with Angeline in the Regal rom-com That Thing Called Tanga Na.
Apart from Jake and Angeline, the film also stars the love team of real-life couple Miho Nishida and Tommy Esguerra.
The Tommy Esguerra and Miho Nishida love team is a big discovery of Pinoy Big Brother. The pair instantly gained a huge following, which led to the birth of the ToMiho love team.
The public’s interest in the tandem didn’t escape Lily and Roselle Monteverde’s eyes ,and, so, they offered the duo their first acting break on the big screen via this year’s first romantic comedy movie, Foolish Love.
Tommy and Miho play the roles of baristas in the movie. Their boss is head over heels in love with Miho, who, however, chooses Tommy over him.
Fans and supporters of the Tomiho love team won’t be disappointed as the film showcases a lot of romantic scenes involving the tandem. Lamangan made sure of that. He says, “First time man nilang umarte sa big screen, pasado sila sa panlasa ko. Wala nang arte ‘pag sinabi kong kailangan nilang maghalikan sa scene. Bigay na bigay nga sila at ramdam ang pagiging in love nila sa isa’t isa.”
On and off cam, the pair is inseparable. The sweetness displayed on screen is even double offscreen. No wonder they are a hit in the daily Kapamilya morning series, Langit at Lupa. Though they may be an unlikely pair, there is no denying that Tommy and Miho are in love with each other.
Foolish Love opens on Jan. 25 in theaters, nationwide.
