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.
