Kiray Celis Says Enchong Dee's Lips Are Much Softer Than Derek Ramsay's, Compares 'I Love You To Death' To 'Heneral Luna'

KIRAY CELIS’ first movie where she played a lead role, “Love is Blind”, is a certified blockbuster. The follow up project to that, “I Love You to Death”, is now about to be shown and Kiray admits she can feel intense pressure as its July 6 play date nears. “Sa ‘Love is Blind’, may Derek Ramsay and Solenn Heussaff na kasama sa cast,” she says. “This time, kami ni Enchong Dee talaga ang magdadala sa movie so sana, suportahan pa rin ng viewers.”

As a child star in “Goin’ Bulilit”, did she really dream of being a lead star some day? “Hindi ko siya pinangarap o hinintay. Noong gawin ko ang ‘Love is Blind’, di ko nga na-feel na bida ako. Pero ngayon, dito sa second movie, yes, I felt na oo, akong bida rito. Actually, mahirap magbida kasi required kang unang dumating sa set, tapos ikaw rin ang huling napa-pack up. Unlike before na suporta lang ako, after isa o dalawang scenes, nakakauwi na ako. At mas mahirap ang role ko dito sa ‘I Love You to Death’. Mas grabe ang mga pinagawa sa’kin ng director naming si Miko Livelo. Makikita nyo naman sa movie.”

But we heard she had a grand time in her kissing scenes with Enchong Dee? “Yes, pinatikim sa akin ni Enchong ang tunay na sarap.”

We’re told she even grabbed Enchong’s butt. “Yes, kasi nahihirapan ako nung una kung paano ko siya yayakapin o hahawakan. Naiilang ako. E, hinawakan niya ang puwet ko, so hinawakan ko rin ang puwet niya at pinisil-pisil ko pa.”

Was she affected by it? “Yes, babae ako, e. Marupok, so naapektuhan ako. Nung hinihimas-himas niya ang legs ko, may naramdaman ako kasi lalaki siya, e. Kung babae siya, bale wala lang. E, sa kanya, may na-feel akong malisya.”

She also had kissing scenes with Derek Ramsay before. So which did she enjoy more, the lips of Derek or Enchong? “Yung kay Enchong. Mas malambot ang lips niya.”

We tell her the trailer of their movie doesn’t have much impact. Unlike “Love is Blind” where viewers were really laughing after watching it. “That’s to be expected kasi comedy ang ‘Love is Blind’, so laugh out loud talaga ang mga tao. Iba naman itong ‘I Love You to Death’ kasi horror-comedy ito. At saka, para itong ‘Heneral Luna’, na hindi malakas nung mag-umpisa pero dahil sa word of mouth, naging big hit.”

Playing the parents of Kiray in “I Love You to Death” are Janice de Belen and Betong Sumaya, and supporting them are Michelle Vito, Kuk Son Yong, Paolo Gumabao, Devon Seron, Trina Hopia Legaspi, Nico Nicolas, Christian Bables, Jon Lucas and Dino Pastrano, opening in theatres on July 6 and will be up against Jaclyn Jose's "Ma Rosa". So who would you want to watch first: Kiray or Jaclyn?
