Mas naging proud pa raw sila sa kanilang tambalan dahil napagtagumpayan nila ang mga challenges na hinarap nila sa shooting ng bago nilang serye sa ABS-CBN.
Sa naganap na presscon ng “Can’t Buy Me Love” kamakailan, puring-puri ni Donny ang leading lady niyang si Belle na mas gumaling pa raw bilang aktres.
“I was able to discover na kaya pa pala niyang maging mas mahusay. Ang galing. I thought that, you know, she’s been in the industry for quite some time.
“Ever since she was a kid, she knows her craft, yung atake niya ganun na lang. But no, she always surprises me and everyone with the performances she gives,” pahayag ni Donny.
Aniya pa, “It’s more of a surprise to me na yung mga binibigay niya sa mga scenes, she can do more, mas magaling and mas nag-exert pa ng ibang atake.”
“It’s always a proud moment for me when I see that,” dugtong pa niya.
Para naman kay Belle, “For me mas nagiging evident kung gaano siya ka pursigido sa ginagawa niya.
“Like all the more I work with him, it actually also inspires me to work even harder, so I’m happy to go through this journey with him,” sabi pa ni Belle.
Ito ang unang pagkakataon na gaganap na rich kid si Belle habang isang mahirap na binata naman ang character ni Donny. Ibang-iba raw talaga ang mga role nila sa “Can’t Buy Me Love” sa mga past projects nila.
“I think more of the question is what the similarities are because there are so many changes and there are so many new things in this series that you haven’t seen in our past projects,” aniya pa.
Hindi lang daw ito basta romcom, “There are diverse genres, actually one show with romcom, drama, action, thriller, mystery, everything that you can think of.
“You will feel varied emotions when you watch it. And you will also ask questions at the end of show like what will happen next?
“So, it’s nice that we’re able to portray challenges that are challenging to us. And we give a different flavor of kilig, chemistry here na hindi namin nabibigay dati,” aniya pa.
Sey naman ni Belle, “We are both grateful to be here. Thank you very much. I think a factor, too, is being aligned with one another, being aligned in the sense that we both have the same goal and that is to deliver a great project. And I just can’t wait for you, guys, to watch Can’t Buy Me Love.”
Samantala, natanong naman ang DonBelle kung okay lang bang makipag-date kahit walang pera o budget. Sagot ni Belle, “Yeah, because love cannot be measured by money, so it’s okay.”
Agree naman si Donny sa sagot ni Belle, “But I also think that you should also be aligned with your partner. So, if your goals are aligned na yung focus niyong dalawa is mag-date-date muna.
“Kasi ang hirap nu’n kung gusto niyo rin mag-settle eh, wala rin kayong parang savings and stuff. So, it depends on like what you both agree on. But Belle is right. You don’t need money para magmahal,” sey ng aktor.
