Kahit kino-consider na Gomburza na pinakamalaking nagawa: CEDRICK, most challenging at nerve-wrecking ang role sa ‘Andoy’

IKINASAL nitong Pebrero 25 ng taong kasalukuyan at ngayon ay may five-month old son na sina Cedrick Juan at Kate Alejandrino.

Paano sila nagkakilala ni Kate?

“Oh, well we know each other for a long time in the industry,” umpisang kuwento ni Cedrick.

“Matagal na rin. We… parang the first time I met her, we had an audition for a short film for QCinema, it was I think mga, 2016.

“It was a direk Janus Victoria Film, yung Viva Viva Escolta, na eventually ang naging kasama ko si Anna Luna and yeah, for that and yun nga, films na… film industry, and also nasa Idea First ako before for 5 years and may mga ginagawa rin siya na mga Idea First Company film.

“So yun, parang ano na, colleague.”

Ano ang mga traits na nagustuhan ni Cedrick kay Kate?

“I think it’s always about being open sa mga pinag-usapan and not just always being emotional about it.

“Sometimes, minsan kailangan mong gamitin yung brainwaves, not just the emotions. I think it’s always what I really like about Kate, yung ganun bagay.

“Yung parang we can talk things out, na huwag kang mag-hide or mas maganda pag-usapan natin, para mas magkaunawaan tayo, mga ganun bang bagay.”

Magbibida si Cedrick sa “Andoy,” isang psychological/torture/horror film.

Kasama rin sa pelikula sina Jennica Garcia, Albie Casiño, Angelica Lao, Victor Relosa, Paolo Gumabao at Aya Fernandez.

Mula sa Wonderlust Films, angk magsisilbing feature length directorial debut ni Mark Putian, na kilala sa mga short films at music video.

Sa “Andoy,” sa palagay ni Cedrick ay ito ang magiging pinakamalaking role na gagampanan niya sa lahat ng nagawa na niyang projects?

“Well, I would still consider Gomburza na malaki, kasi historical film siya and for me, inspiration talaga siya for many, even for our national hero, Jose Rizal.

“I think with Andoy, one of the most challenging roles na gagawin ko at nagawa ko. Yeah, kasi parang may pagka nerve-wrecking yung role niya.”

Mas excited ba siya or may takot siya na gawin ang pelikulang to?

“I think, mas yung fear… ayoko siyang mag-burrow agad sa isip ko.

“Mas yung challenge, I think yung mas challenge sa akin ay to really dig deeper dun sa personality ni Andoy.

“Especially yung mental condition niya, na yeah, wala akong ganung mental condition na feeling sudden outburst, but somehow I can relate to that.

“I think yung challenge lang ay talaga yung how to tap my inner demons and there’s nothing wrong with that. Siguro lang ang mahalaga lang din dito ay safety ng lahat, and hanggang saan yung puwede mong gawin for this project, pero not really harming everyone.
“So I think yun, because sometimes may mga actors kasi na may tendency na parang pwede nilang i-reason out na, ‘Ah, I did it for the art, let’s do it for the art’, and hindi na tayo ngayon ganun. Let’s do it for the art and safety of everyone as well, so yeah, iyon,” mahabang paliwanag pa ni Cedrick.
