Coco Martin is ‘Juan dela Cruz’
Coco is indeed back on primetime television, and this time on a role we never seen him before. But the same Coco Martin, who works hard on his role, is involve in this upcoming teleserye. “Sa bawat proyekto gusto ko talaga involve ako sa proyekto para alam ko yong takbo ng kuwento na ginagampanan ko,” he commented. He is one of the creative consultant of the project and he is proud of it.
Coco could relate with his character. He divulged that “Juan dela Cruz” is patterned to his personal traits in real life and that TV viewers will see the real Coco through his role. “Kapareho ko siya dahil kinokonsider ng creative team yong characteristics ko. Hindi ako mabuti, hindi rin ako masama. Dahil bawat is sa atin may aswang sa loob natin,” he remarked.
On his getting ready for the role, Coco admitted that he wasn’t able to do as much as preparation as he can. “Hindi ako nagkaroon ng enough time. Pero don ko pinapractice sa taping. At kahit anong role kung naniniwala ako sa role at gusto ko yong role, nagagawa ko naman.”
When asked about his onscreen partner for this teleserye, Erich Gonzales, the young actor has all the great things to say about her, “Isa siya sa magagandang artista. At kapag nagka-eksena kami, nagkakaroon ng chemistry.”
Coco Martin is the original choice for the role and he is in awe about it. “Nakaka-overwhelm para mapili ako. Siguro may mga katangian sa akin na nakakarelate ang mga Pinoy,” he said. On what does he think are his traits that every “Juan dela Cruz” (Pinoy) can relate, “Siguro hindi ako natatakot na magkamali dahil don ako natututo. Lagi kong tinuturing yong sarili ko na kaisa ng mga tao at open akong paggalitan para meron akong ground na matuto at maikorek ang mga pagkakamali ko.”
