Stuck On You stars Yves Flores and Iyo Canlas share what it was like working with each other in their new Boys Love series.
In their interviews, Canlas admitted feeling pressure in working with Flores in the series.
“Well si Yves Flores has been in the industry for a long time na. matagal na s’ya sa industriya, n’ong una n’ong malaman ko na sya yung partner ko parang kinabahan ako syempre may pressure din ‘yon.
“Nagkaroon s’ya nang successful teleserye being partnered up with another actor, so dagdag din ‘yon sa pressure na madami nagi-expect na baka sila ulit pero ako ‘yong naging partner for this series.”
Flores, on the other hand, lauded Canlas, especially on how he portrayed the role.
“Si Iyo bilang isang baguhan, magaling s’ya. Mahusay. Nagawa n’ya ‘yong character at parang wala akong makitang iba na gaganap na Reb kung hindi s’ya. ‘Yon ‘yong palagi kong sinasabi, wala na akong makitang ibang artista na babagay doon sa character.”
As for their working dynamics, Canlas said Flores approached him first. He said it made him feel comfortable on the set.
“So si Yves naman kasi parang n’ong una hindi ko alam kung paano s’ya i-approach kasi ‘yon nga mas matagal na s’ya sa industriya.
“Tapos n’ong nakita ko nga ‘yong script ang haba, baka ako lang pala ‘yong hahabaan baka s’ya sanay na sanay na.
“Pero, it was nice. Kasi si Yves mismo ‘yong lumapit sa akin. S’ya mismo ‘yong nag-chat sa akin na, ‘Uy, gusto mo ba mag-run through ng lines.’ Ang humble lang na s’ya ‘yong unang nag-reach out sa akin. And it made it feel more comfortable.”
Flores then revealed his reason for approaching Canlas first, admitting that he wanted to make the scenes come out as natural as they can be.
“Si Iyo sobrang bait, ako agad ‘yong nag-approach sa kanya, bago kami mag-shoot kasi ayaw kong hindi s’ya maging komportable sa akin lalo na dalawa lang kami sa set.
“Para alam mo ‘yon, lahat maging natural. Ayun parang naging magkaibigan kami after ng shoot hanggang ngayon nag-uusap pa rin kami. Nagbabalitaan. And ang nakakatuwa pa doon, para ko s’yang malayong kamag-anak, pareho kaming Canlas eh.”
Flores previously portrayed a gay role on the Kapamilya drama series, A Soldier’s Heart, while Canlas appeared on Cheat, the Series.
Canlas and Flores star in the upcoming BL Series, Stuck on You, under Ride or Die. The story revolves around the two guys who hooked up during the pandemic. However, things take a turn when they become stuck with each other after their community goes on strict lockdown.
