Yen Santos is ready to do intimate scenes with Piolo Pascual for their movie Once in a Lifetime.
The 24-year-old actress said she initially got distracted when doing scenes with the hunk actor, who is her ultimate crush.
“'Yong mga first and second day of shooting po namin, nag-adjust po ako kasi sobrang starstruck ako sa kanya.
“Sobrang gwapo niya, hindi ko maiwasan na ma-distract talaga,” Yen told entertainment reporters in an interview after she signed a four-movie contract with Regal Entertainment on Tuesday, August 30.
The former All of Me actress is thankful that they already shot their scenes in New Zealand because she had the chance to bond with Piolo and their other co-stars.
She said, “Siyempre, nakatulong din 'yong in between takes na bonding namin, kwentuhan.
“Kaya bago kami umuwi na kami ng Manila, mayroon ng bonding kaya naging comfortable na rin po ako.”
For this reason, Yen says she's ready to shoot her intimate scenes with Piolo.
“Bago naman kami umuwi, okay na ako dito, kampante na ako,” she said.
Asked what she would do to prepare for those scene, Yen jokingly replied, “Magtu-toothbrush, magmumumog ng maraming Listerine.”
Meanwhile, Yen expressed her gratitude to Regal Entertainment for giving her this opportunity to star in her first movie and to do it with one of the prime actors of ABS-CBN.
“Nakakataba talaga ng puso 'yon kasi sa dinami-rami ng artista, ako 'yong nabigyan ng chance para makapareho siya.
“Tanong ko rin, 'Bakit nga ba ako?'
“'Yon nga po, timing lang din po talaga. Kung talagang para sa'yo, para sa'yo.”
However, she admitted that because of this opportunity, she started receiving negative comments.
“Mayroon naman pong mga ganyan, hindi naman po maiiwasan.
“Kaya lang po, may mga taong naniniwala so, 'yon na lang po ang mas importante sa akin ngayon,” she concluded.
