BEA Alonzo and Dennis Trillo’s series, “Love Before Sunrise,” will be gracing our television screens soon.
The project marks their reunion, 20 years after they first worked together.
Not even Dennis Trillo is immune to being starstruck — especially when in the presence of Bea Alonzo.
During a presscon on Saturday, Sept. 16, the Kapuso actor said he was nervous when he first started taping with his Bea.
“Noong first day sobrang ninenerbyos talaga ako,” Dennis said. “Na-sa-starstruck ako every time may eksena kami.”
“‘Pag nasa taping ako, chine-check ko ‘yung breakdown, kung gano karami ‘yung eksena namin ni Bea,” he added. “Kasi ibig sabihin kailangan ko galingan sa eksena na ‘yun.”
Dennis called Bea the “Box Office Queen,” and said he felt pressured.
“Napakagaling [ni Bea], ilang pelikula rin niya ang napanood ko,” he said. “Nakakakaba na experience.”
However, things smoothened in time.
“Once nakuha namin ang aming rhythm, and camaraderie sa set, talagang naging maganda ang flow at naging komportable,” he said.
For her part, Bea revealed that she had an uneasy feeling on their first shooting day.
“‘Yung first day sa set namin, sa totoo, may ilangan,” she said. “Ako, medyo naiilang ako kasi you had to do scenes na dapat kami na, nasa relationship na kami.”
“So parang, at first, medyo mahirap s’ya… but then, we’re professional actors, so we got over that,” Bea added.
On a brighter note, Bea said that it helped them in some way.
“Kasi ‘yun nga, sabi ko kanina, may sense of [familiarity],” she said.
The Kapuso actress also shared that Dennis’ “mysterious” side helped them.
“So, kahit papaano, I guess ‘yung mystery, kasi I think he’s very mysterious. I guess nakakatulong ‘yun in terms of like ‘yung ‘falling in love stage’ naming dalawa,” she said.
In “Love Before Sunrise,” Dennis and Bea are soulmates whose right love happens at the wrong time. It’s a collaboration project between GMA Network and Viu Philippines.
Joining them in the cast are Andrea Torres, Sid Lucero, Nadia Montenegro, Sef Cadayona, Cheska Fausto, and Vince Maristela.
The much-anticipated series will start airing on Sept. 25 on GMA Primetime. (GMA Integrated News)
