Angel Locsin doesn't need to teach John Lloyd Cruz how to act in a fantaserye

Many are excited about the first team up of Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz via the upcoming ABS-CBN fantaserye, Imortal. When reporters interviewed Angel on the set, she shared how she is having a great time working with John Lloyd. “Okay kami ni John Lloyd kasi nakakatuwa, kung titingnan mo tahimik lang. Pero kapag nakakwentuhan mo na ang dami niyang alam. Kaya kapag may eksena kami, looking forward talaga ako. Kasi in between takes, kapag set-up, nakakapagkwentuhan kami. Ang dami kong natututunan sa kanya na bago. Exciting talaga.”

Whenever they would get to chat on the set, John Lloyd would talk about his relationship with his family and the other things that he does outside of showbiz. “Nalaman ko rin kung gaano siya ka-attached sa family. Hanggang ngayon nakatira pa rin siya kasama ‘yung family niya. Ipinakita niya sa akin ‘yung bagong bahay niya. Nakwento niya ‘yung mga investments niya, mga ibang plano niya sa buhay. Pero siyempre marami pa rin akong dapat ma-discover sa kanya kaya excited ako na makasama pa siya every day.”

Also according to Angel, Imortal paved the way for her to get know the “John Lloyd” known for his acting prowess and professionalism. Angel shared, “Kasi first time ko talaga siya maka trabaho. Ang alam ko lang sa kanya e ‘yung kung ano ang alam ng lahat, na napakagaling niyang aktor. Nakita ko kasi kung paano siya mag prepare sa isang eksena. Walang biro, kina-career niya talaga. Darating siya sa set alam na niya ang linya niya. Kapag tinawag na siya, tatayo agad ‘yan. First time kong nakakita ng artistang bagong gising…. ‘di ba tayo kapag bagong gising mo-moment muna, pero siya tayo agad. So ako, mapipilitan na ring tumayo agad.”

With this, Angel said there’s no need for her to assist John Lloyd in doing a fantaserye like Imortal. This project is John Lloyd’s first fantasy series, while Angel has done several in the past. She played a wolf/woman in the teleserye Lobo which earned her a Best Actress nomination from the International Emmy Awards. “Hindi ko na siya kailangan i-guide kasi ang galing galing na niya umarte! Tumigil nga siya! Ha ha ha!,” the actress answered with a laugh.

She further revealed that John Lloyd handled his fight scenes in Imortal with grace. “Bago sa kanya angfantaserye,pero parang hindi naman! Ganun siya kagaling. Hindi obvious na bago sa kanya ‘to. Action star na kaya ‘yan! ‘Yung action scenes niya hindi pilit. May lalim. Natural. Leading man pa rin ang dating niya.”
