Vina Morales, Gladys Reyes reveal celeb friends thought 'Cruz vs. Cruz' promo video was real
Gladys Reyes and Vina Morales recently went viral for their online exchange as their "Cruz vs. Cruz" characters, with some netizens and also celebrities believing the promotional video.
In Thursday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' Vina admitted she was initially hesitant to go through with the video, fearing that some people might actually believe it was real.
'Actually, noong sinabi nga sa 'min parang nagdadalawang-isip kasi baka marami talagang maniwala. Marami nga talaga,' she shared.
Aside from her friends from the United States, the actress also revealed that some of her celebrity friends, such as Martin Nievera, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Pops Fernandez, thought the video was real.
''Yung friends ko from US, 'yung mga hindi nakakaintindi [tinanong ako], 'Are you OK? Is everything OK?' Kasi hindi nila naiintindahan,' she said.
'Tapos biglang I had work next day, si Martin Nievera sabi niya 'Why did you do that? Don't ever do that again. I was about to call you. I was worried.' Alam mo 'yung mga ganon. Sila Ruffa [Gutierrez], sila Pops [Fernandez].'
Even Tito Boy himself admitted to believing it was legitimate at first.
Meanwhile, Gladys shared that she was happy with the netizens' reactions to their viral exchange.
'Nakakatuwa lang pong maraming naging interesado, nag-react. May mga nakarelate. Imagine 12 million views, 15 million views sa Facebook,' she said.
Gladys also jokingly clarified that the man she referred to in the video was not her real-life husband, Christopher Roxas.
'Pero gusto ko pong humingi na paumanhin sa mga akala po nila… Wala naman po akong sinasabi, sa totoo lang kasalanan niyo rin. Wala naman akong sinasabi na si Christopher [Roxas] ang tinutukoy ko doon eh. Assuming kayo eh. Hindi. Pero 'yon nga talagang si Felma, si Vina Morales, siya talaga ang sinasabi kong Felma doon,' she added.
"Cruz vs. Cruz" follows the story of the two families of Manuel Cruz. He left his original family in the Philippines to work abroad and provide for them. During his time as an OFW, he meets a woman who lures him to marry her after she gets pregnant.
Aside from Gladys and Vina, it also stars Neil Ryan Sese, Kristoffer Martin, Lexi Gonzales, Elijah Alejo, Caprice Cayetano, Pancho Magno, and more.
"Cruz vs. Cruz" is directed by Gil Tejada and will premiere on GMA Afternoon Prime on July 21 at 3:20 p.m.
