On May 5, Tony Labrusca revealed that he had to conquer his fears of the deep waters while filming his latest movie, Breathe Again.
During the media conference for the Vivamax movie, Labrusca said he had many firsts in filming Breathe Again, including conquering his fears of swimming in deep waters.
“Ang dami ko kasing first dito sa film na ‘to pero ang pinakamahirap para sa akin ay ‘yung conquering my fear of the ocean. Mahilig ako sa dagat pero ayaw ko talaga ‘yung nagswi-swimming sa hindi ko nakikita ‘yung ilalim. May mga eksena kami na feeling ko nasa gitna na kami ng dagat. Na parang ina-anxiety na ako.Â
“May isa kami na gabi, nag-dive kami na nakaka-ano eh kung first time mo, pero na-conquer ko siya eh. Tsaka masaya pala. Kaya sobra talaga ako nag-enjoy.”
He then recalled how he and his co-star Ariella Arida filmed most of their scenes while on water.Â
“Pag gumagawa po ako ng ganong eksena, medyo gets ko na po kung anong mangyayari or paano ko siguro ia-attack. Lagi lang po akong nahihiya minsan sa co-actor ko kung ano ‘yung gusto nila or ano ‘yung kaya nila or saan sila komportable.Â
“Pero, ‘yung sa amin kasi ni Ara, medyo nakakatawa siya kasi may mga eksena kami, buong araw kami na nasa dagat. So medyo nagpapaalam na kami sa isa’t isa, na ‘oy medyo maalat na ako, baka pag hinalikan mo ako dito medyo salty na.'”
He then described working with the movie director Raffy Francisco as ‘easy.’
“Tsaka sobrang stress free kasi si Direk, so hindi siya ‘yung napagod kami or anything, kaya wala. Kahit intimate scene, parang ewan ko basta easy lang siya.”
Labrusca stars in his comeback Viva movie Breathe Again.Â
Joining him are Viva artists Ariella Arida and Ivan Padilla.Â
Under the direction of Raffy Francisco, Breathe Again streams on Vivamax on June 3, 2022.
