The 46-year old director said Kapamilya actor Enrique Gil seemed more similar to John Lloyd in her eyes based on a confrontation scene in hit movie “My Ex and Whys”.
“He will never be John Lloyd. John Lloyd will always be John Lloyd. No matter how good Joshua is, he can only be Joshua!”
Box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina explained why Joshua Garcia will never be John Lloyd Cruz. The 46-year old director said that Joshua has its own strengths as an actor.
“Hindi kasi ako naniniwala dun eh, ‘yung mga ‘next next’ kasi iba si John Lloyd, incomparable as much as Joshua is incomparable. He has his own strengths, Joshua will make it on his own,” she said.
Joshua had the opportunity to work with Direk Cathy in the reunion movie of Robin Padilla and Sharon Cuneta, “Unexpectedly Yours.”
Furthermore, Direk Cathy shared it was Enrique Gil who she sees John Lloyd’s style of acting. They worked together in the 2016 hit movie, “My Ex and Whys.”
“Ang actually nakita ko pa si Quen, parang nakita ko si Lloydie sa ‘My Ex and Whys’ ‘dun sa isang confrontation scene. ‘Yung staff ko ang nagsabe ‘Direk para siyang si John Lloyd’, hindi ko nakikita talaga. To me he’s unique. Siguro [they have similarities]? But I don’t see it,” she said.
On the other hand, Direk Cathy shared her working experience with the JoshLia love team. She admired the working ethics of both Joshua and Julia during the entire taping of the movie.
“‘Kung tutuloy niya ‘yung ugali niyang ganyan, magaling siyang bata, magaling sila ni Julia. Si Julia, I give very little instructions. I will just tell her kung anong gusto ko, anong emotion, ganun din si Joshua, nagagawa nila ng sarili nilang version. To me sobrang gaan sa director ng ganun. They’re natural. They have undeniable chemistry. Okay sila,” she said.
Direk Cathy also compared JoshLia to other famous love teams in the industry. She cited the love team’s strengths to other on-screen partners that made them extraordinary.
“Sila ang uniquely funny maybe because of Joshua, nadadala niya si Julia eh. Joshua to me is very good for Julia. Kasi di’ba si Julia mukang masungit, mukang suplada, tinatanggal ‘yun nung Joshua, so nagiging mas reachable si Julia because of Joshua. Unique sa kanila ‘yun kasi KathNiel is not known for that, neither ang LizQuen, pero sila parang Sarah Geronimo-John Lloyd Cruz na baliktad, ang light si Joshua,” she stated.
