Lexi Gonzales, Kristoffer Martin share what it's like working with Vina Morales, Gladys Reyes in 'Cruz vs. Cruz'
The Sparkle stars guested in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Tuesday where they talked about what it's like working with the two veteran actresses.
Kris and Lexi play Jeff and Andrea, the children of Vina's character, Felma.
According to Kristoffer, he thought he would be intimidated working with Vina.
"Pero hindi, storycon pa lang namin, sobrang approachable po, walang wall," he said. "Siya pa 'yung makikipagusap sa 'yo," he said.
"Tapos nanay pa namin, so hindi kami nahirapan. Day one po namin sa taping, hindi kami nahirapan," he added.
While Kristoffer has worked with Gladys before, Lexi, for her part, had only been with the veteran actress in their promos for the show.
"Si Ms Gladys, sa promos pa lang namin siya nakakasama so for, and other stuff including the show. Wala pa kaming eksena together pero lahat mababait sa set," she said.
The two also told Tito Boy that they have not been slapped by Gladys yet.
"Nag-r-ready pa lang kami, wino-work out ko pa lang 'yung face ko," Lexi quipped
"Ako, iniiwas ko na po 'yung character ko sa character niya. Ako na 'yung nag-a-adjust, hindi ko binabanggit 'yung pangalan," Kristoffer added in jest.
"Cruz vs. Cruz" follows the story of the two families of Manuel Cruz (Neil Ryan Sese). He leaves his original family -- Felma and their children --in the Philippines to work abroad and provide for them.
However, while there, he meets a woman, Hazel (Gladys), who lures him to marry her after she gets pregnant.
"Cruz vs. Cruz" is directed by Gil Tejada and premiered on GMA Afternoon Prime on Monday. Catch it on weekdays at 3:20 p.m.
