Artist Nikko Natividad revealed about doing his dream acting project Pedro Penduko at a media conference with the press, including LionhearTV, on September 8, 2022.
Natividad listed the types of roles he wanted to do with him joining Viva Artist Agency.
“Iniisip po nila lagi na comedy ‘yung bagay sa akin, ako, naniniwala ako na kaya din ng serious role, na ‘yun din ‘yung gusto ko ma-try talaga. Pero siyempre, kung tatanungin ako kung ano ‘yung dream project na gusto ko makuha, gustong-gusto ko po talaga ‘yung Pedro Penduko.
“Kasi, favorite movie ko ‘yung kay Janno Gibbs na Pedro Penduko. Pag nasa bahay ako, iniimagine ko na kaya ko siya, kung ako gaganap doon, ‘yung pag ka comedy niya, ‘yung humor niya, gustong-gusto ko kasi ‘yung humor ni sir Janno Gibbs na medyo naughty din.”
He then recounted his talks with former Hashtags member Wilbert Ross regarding an action-comedy project similar to ‘White Chicks’ by the Wayan Brothers.
“Nag-message din sa akin si Wilbert noong malaman niyang magVi-Viva ako. Sabi niya, ‘Sana magkatrabaho tayo.’ Tapos nag-iisip kami ng movie, so sabi niya, kung gagawa kami ng movie, ang gusto niya parang White Chicks, parang action-comedy.
Tapos sabi ko sa kanya lagi ko siyang binibiro na sige lagi ko sayo ibibigay ‘yung mga bedscene, ‘Wilbert, wag ka mag-aalala, wag kang matatampo sa akin, pag meron, ibibigay ko sayo.'”
Natividad joined It’s Showtime’s Gandang Lalake segment in 2014, which led him to become part of Hashtags. He then joined Pinoy Big Brother in 2016 alongside McCoy De Leon. He then worked on the Kapamilya action series, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano and Hanggang Saan. He also joined the cast of Niña Niño and the Kangks Show.
