EUGENE DOMINGO says doing the sequel “Kimmy Dora & the Temple of Kiyeme” is much more taxing than doing the original three years ago. “Dati kasi, kakaunti lang ang scenes nina Kimmy at Dora together,” she says. “This time, lagi silang magkasama dahil they have to accomplish a mission, so mas nakakapagod dahil papalit-palit ako ng costumes at hairdo. Naging horror movie din kasi ito, not just comedy, kaya mas challenging. Then, we shot on location in Korea in the midst of winter. Noong first shooting day namin sa temple sa bundok, negative 17 degrees ang weather. The next day, minus 20 degrees na. Naghihintayan na lang kami sa set kung sino ang unang maninigas sa lamig at titimbuwang. But it’s all worth it kasi masasabi kong mas maganda itong sequel than the original.”
In the movie, Uge’s leading men, Dingdong Dantes and Zanjoe Marudo, offer to marry her. How about in real life? “Naku, kayo naman, hindi na kayo nagsawa sa katatanong niyan. Basta kontento na ko, satisfied sa estado ko ngayon.”
Isn't she envious that her good friend Ai Ai de las Alas is said to be planning to marry current much younger BF Jed Alvin Salang in December. “A, talaga? Wala naman siyang sinasabi sa’king kakasal na siya. Basta tinatanong ko lang kung happy siya and she says she is, so happy ako para sa kanya at di ako naiinggit.”
