Vhong Navarro's Dream To Work With Lovi Poe Comes True In 'Shake Rattle & Roll 14'

VHONG NAVARRO got excited when his manager, Director Chito Rono, told him he’d be in “Shake, Rattle & Roll 14”. “Kasi never pa kong napasali sa ‘Shake’ series. History na ito sa local movies na longest running movie franchise so it’s an honor to be part of it. Tapos, si Lovi Po pa raw ang makakapareha ko, di mas okay. First time ko na-meet si Lovi, sa airport from Hongkong. Siya pang lumapit sa’kin at bumati. Napakabait niya at mula noon, dream ko nang makasama siya sa movie. Kaya lang, parang imposible nga kasi we belong to two different networks. Pero heto, dahil sa Regal at sa ‘Shake’, nagkaroon ako ng chance na makatrabaho siya so this is a dream come true for me. Noong una, ayaw pa raw niya kasi sunod-sunod na horror na ang ginawa niya at may problem pa sa schedule niya. Buti naayos din ang lahat kaya sobrang tuwa namin ni Direk Chito. Sa shoot, dun ko napatunayang mabait siya talaga. Nakikipagkuwentuhan siya sa staff and crew, di gaya ng ibang artistang nagkukulong lang sa tent nila. Bihira yung gaya niyang nakikipag-bonding sa lahat. Tapos, sa acting, mata pa lang niya, umaarte na. Wala pa siyang ibang ginagawa, kita mo na sa mata niya ang emosyon.”

Among his colleagues in Streetboys, he’s the only one still active and does lead roles. What happened to the rest? “Si Spencer Reyes is married and lives in London. May nagwo-work sa Dubai but most of them, sa Universal Studios ngayon in Singapore nagtatrabaho.”

Danilo Barrios has split his partner JC Parker. Has Jhong Hlario also separated from his British wife he met while part of “Miss Saigon” in London? “Yata. Siya na lang ang tanungin nyo.”
