Zanjoe Marudo: Comedy is More Challenging than Drama

Hunk actor Zanjoe Marudo admitted that he’s more comfortable with serious acting and that compared to veteran comedians, he still has a long way to go.

“It’s really difficult to make people laugh. Many people think that it’s harder to do drama but for me, comedy is more challenging.”

In “Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme” where he portrayed as Barry, Zanjoe said that he didn’t feel too much pressure because he was with great actors. Even Eugene Domingo, lead actress in the film, said that Zanjoe’s acting was great.

In “Banana Split” where he regularly tries his best at comedy, he said that if you’re comfortable with the people you’re with, your acting will come out more natural. “We’re almost like brothers and sisters in the show. We help each other,” he said.

Meanwhile in “Banana Split” this Saturday (June 30), watch out for “More Pun in the Philippines” where the cast will sing songs about the different places of the country. In “Hot Issue”, the gang will spoof Angeline Quinto’s search for her biological mom and Ruffa’s walkout in a talk show.

Catch Banana Split this Saturday (June 30) after “TODA Max” on ABS-CBN.

Angel Locsin and Dingdong Dantes Topbill 'One More Try' along with Angelica and Zanjoe

Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin will star in a movie tentatively titled One More Try opposite Kapuso hunk Dingdong Dantes. The said movie project will also star Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo under Star Cinema.

Angel Locsin stars opposite Dingdong Dantes with
Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo in the movie One More Try

Yesterday, May 8 Dingdong Dantes attended the story conference for their movie One More Try. Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo were also present in the story con, as well as the movie director, Ruel S. Bayani. However, Angel Locsin was unable to attend due to previous commitments.

The movie One More Try is said to be more daring compared to previous Ruel Bayani hit, No Other Woman. The story is so compelling and one that is not common, according to the lead actors.

“Hubad lang kami dito all the way, hindi kami nakadamit. Sobrang sexy eh,” said Angelica Panganiban, kidding aside.

“Hindi siya common na mangyari, plus the fact na napakaganda ng storya, so we’ll give our best in this one,” exclaimed Dingdong.

In One More Try, Dingdong and Angelica are married to each other but their characters will be romantically involved with the characters played by Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.

Dingdong said that he was very fortunate to be given another chance to do a movie with Star Cinema. It can be recalled that 2 of Dingdong's movie are co-produced and distributed by Star Cinema - Kimmy Dora and Segunda Mano where Dingdong received his first Best Actor award in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

“I feel very fortunate that I was given another chance. I’m very excited,” Dingdong was quoted as saying in an interview with ABS-CBN News during the story conference held on May 8. “I’m happy to work with Star Cinema again because they gave me such a wonderful experience exactly a year ago.”

Could this movie project give Dingdong another Best Actor trophy or Angel and Angelica another acting award? Will this also be Zanjoe's track to clinching one acting accolade? Only the stars know.

In lieu with this movie project, rumor has it that Marian Rivera fans are now worried since it is not only Angel Locsin that will be paired up with Dingdong but also an equally hot and appealing Angelica Panganiban. Dingdong, however said that Marian will surely support him in this movie even with doing the sexy scenes with his lead actresses.

Angel Locsin to Do a Movie with Dingdong Dantes

According to reports, Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin is set to star in a movie together with Kapuso hunk Dingdong Dantes. The said movie project is said to be a done deal already and Dingdong's manager, Perry Lansigan had already meet with Star Cinema executives for the Angel-Dong movie team up.

Angel Locsin and Dingdong Dantes movie in the works

The said movie is apparently under Star Cinema and reports claimed that Dingdong Dantes had the blessing of home network GMA-7 to do another movie under the Kapamilya movie arm.

It can be recalled that 2 of Dingdong's movie are co-produced and distributed by Star Cinema - Kimmy Dora and Segunda Mano where Dingdong received his first Best Actor award in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2011. 

In an article by Nel Alejandrino for Journal, Angel Locsin was overheard of saying that the story for her movie with Dingdong Dantes was a very good one and something to look forward to.

The said Angel and Dingdong movie will be helmed by Ruel Bayani and will also star Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo.

Aside from Dingdong Dantes, there are also reports that Angel Locsin will be having a reunion movie with another Kapuso actor, Richard Guttierez.

In lieu with this movie project, rumor has it that Marian Rivera fans are now worried since it is not only Angel Locsin that will be paired up with Dingdong but also an equally hot and appealing Angelica Panganiban.
