On July 11, McCoy De Leon said sorry to Viva’s head Vic Del Rosario for refusing some projects from the entertainment company.
At the story conference of their upcoming movie Deleter, De Leon said he declined offers because he wanted to do projects that would make him happy as an artist.
“‘Yung happy ako sa role na magagawa ko, kumbaga gusto ko ‘tong gawin agad. Kasi may mga times talaga na– sorry Boss Vic, di ko natatanggap ‘yung iba, kasi di ko– sabi ko, baka di ko po magawa, kasi di po ako masaya gawin. Pero, thankful ako sa kanila and Deleter ‘yung role na binigay sa akin.”
He then asserted that he would show the audience a different McCoy through his role in the upcoming movie Deleter.
“Kaya noong tinanggap ko ‘to, sabi ko, ayaw ko rin gawin ‘to noong ginawa ko dati. ‘Yung nakikita din lang ng iba dati, gusto ko ‘yung masaya ako at tsaka mayroon akong growth at may maipapakita akong iba. Kumbaga ‘yung tatatak sa ibang tao.”
He also noted that he wants to make himself happy while entertaining Filipino viewers.
“Kasi kung gagawa ako ng project, ayaw ko hayaan na, nakita ko na ‘yan sa iba, ngumiti ka lang din, ngumiti ka lang dito. Ayaw ko naman ng ganon, kaya time naman for us to change, time naman for us to show something new naman. Siyempre actor kami, nag-eentertain ka din ng tao, masaya din na ma-entertain ang sarili, masaya din ma-entertain ko ‘yung mga viewers.”
As for their upcoming movie, Deleter stars Nadine Lustre, Louise Delos Reyes, and McCoy De Leon.
Deleter tells a story of a content moderator who starts having unexplained experiences after deleting a sensitive video of her co-worker.
The award-winning director Mikhail Red helms the production of Deleter. He worked on movies like Arisaka, Block-Z, Rekorder, and Birdshot.
