At the presscon of their soon-to-be released movie "My Only
U," Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga admitted that they nearly
fell in love in the past and they didn’t do it just for show.
"We became too close for comfort, sabihin na natin,"
said Vhong. "Yes, that was even before we started work on our
first movie together, ‘D’ Anothers.’
"Kasi si Vhong ang una kong naging kaibigan
when I first joined ABS-CBN," said Toni. "At sabihin na
nating napaka loveable din naman niya."
But surprisingly, even with the big box office success of "D’
Anothers," Star Cinema didn’t pair them right away in another
movie. Vhong instead was given his own solo movies such as "Supapalicious,"
where he had Valerie Concepcion for his leading lady. Toni, for
her part, was teamed with other leading men. She, in fact, did
two movies with Sam Milby, "You Are the One" and "You’ve Got Me"
(which also starred Zanjoe Marudo).
Both Vhong and Toni admit they are happy working together in
"My Only U." Star Cinema insiders said that this is different
from the movies Vhong and Toni did before.
"Iba ang ginawang approach nila Vhong and Toni
sa funny moments nila sa ‘My Only U.’ At tiyak
maiiyak ka sa kanilang drama scenes," they said.
"My Only U," directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, is about the
friendship of Bong (Vhong) and Winona (Toni). Bong falls in love
with Winona who only has a few moths to live.
"We all gave ‘My Only U’ our own unique touch," said Direk
Cathy. "And that, I believe is the greatest asset of the movie."
