00:05 How is it working with Jasmine? How is it working with Lizelle and Raver?

00:10 How are you?

00:11 Oh, working with Jas, I guess this is my second time working with Jas.

00:16 One is I did a film with her, but this is the first time we've been together for a long time.

00:21 And Jas is a good friend. Jas is the nina of my son.

00:26 Really?

00:27 And yes, it's one of the most...

00:28 So easier?

00:29 It's easier. With Raver, he's a barricada ever since I started showbiz.

00:35 So it's very easy to...

00:36 Who's the best dancer? Raver or you?

00:38 Of course, me.

00:39 I know that.

00:40 Of course.

00:41 So Raver is also easy to work with.

00:43 Also easy.

00:44 How do you know him?

00:45 Yes, we just play on set when we're doing a scene.

00:50 With Lizelle, that kid, my God, her eyes are so beautiful when she's on stage.

00:58 I mean, I don't know. I think I talked to Director Louris regarding Lizelle.

01:03 We said that the kid's eyes are beautiful. It's very expressive.

01:07 That's an asset.

01:08 You know, she'll reach far when she does what she's doing now.

01:16 It's so beautiful.

01:17 As Ms. Viola Davis said, "Drown in the eyes of your co-actor."

01:21 Yes.

01:22 Since you mentioned Louris, who's directing "Asawa ng Asawa Ko," how was it?

01:26 Didn't you, Bruce, feel intimidated?

01:29 She's one of the most talented directors and actresses in the country.

01:34 So how was it?

01:35 I mean, it was...

01:37 Okay, I'll be honest.

01:38 I was super, super nervous and intimidated by her.

01:42 Because there's a little backstory.

01:44 Because her daughter, Ms. Anna Peleo, she's my acting teacher for almost five years or so.

01:53 So she told us, "Here's my mom. She'll direct for you.

01:58 So you have to workshop with me so you'll know how she does it."

02:01 So we did the workshop and everything.

02:04 And when we went to the scenes,

02:11 Director Louris told me, "Just relax. Don't be so tense."

02:18 And I was like, "I'm not doing anything."

02:21 Wait a minute. Take me to that moment.

02:23 Take me to that moment.

02:24 You were there, right?

02:25 You were in that scene.

02:27 What were you doing?

02:28 No, I wasn't taking it yet.

02:30 Oh, you weren't?

02:31 So how did Director Louris know that you were not relaxed?

02:35 Yeah, but here's the thing.

02:37 I think it's because of my shoulders.

02:39 I always say that I'm too...

02:41 You can see my muscles.

02:42 So I was just like that.

02:44 I was just waiting for the scene to start.

02:46 Then Director Louris suddenly said to Mike,

02:51 "Bruce, just relax."

02:54 Right?

02:55 Okay, Bruce, relax. What did you do?

02:58 Like that.

03:00 I said, "Sorry."

03:02 So you started with the scene. What happened?

03:04 My face was red.

03:07 Then we repeated the scene three times.

03:10 That was my first ever scene with Director Louris.

03:13 And I was super nervous.

03:15 But after that, I learned that you always have to be comfortable in scenes.

03:20 And I also learned from Joem.

03:23 Of course!

03:25 But isn't it hard to relax when they tell you to relax?

03:29 Yes.

03:30 There are times when you're supposed to stand here,

03:35 and then you're supposed to go three steps forward.

03:38 It's easy in real life, right?

03:39 You stand here, and then here.

03:41 But when you're in front of the camera,

03:44 I don't know, for some reason, if you're not an actor,

03:47 it's like it's hard.

03:50 I'll stand here, and then I'll walk.

03:54 How do I do it?

03:55 Yes, that's right.

03:56 I guess it comes from experience.

04:00 Acting is a repetitive process.

04:04 You do it all the time for it to be natural for you.

04:09 I guess that's what you do.

04:12 That's why every time you do workshops,

04:14 you repeat every exercise

04:19 so that you can relax when it comes to acting in front of the camera.

04:24 You don't have to think of the camera.

04:26 You don't have to think about anything.

04:28 You just feel the moment.

04:30 You just have to do what your character is supposed to do.

04:36 But it's easier said than done, right?

04:39 Relax, be in the moment.

04:41 Be present.

04:42 I understand that.

04:43 But for a non-actor, it's hard.

04:45 Mom, dad, and my heart know that

04:48 when you say, "Relax," or "Be in the moment,"

04:52 this is your character.

04:54 That's why I always have so much respect for actors.

04:56 Thank you.

04:57 Because what you do is hard.
