00:00There was a time that you used to do voicing, and you even dubbed, I think, right?

00:10Oh yeah, when I started in the showbiz, I mean in the movies, I was a dubber, I got a dubber.

00:18What I dubbed was what the English made of our movies back then,

00:23that was shown in Okinawa, in Hong Kong, in Hawaii.

00:26So I was always the voice of Joseph Estrada, the English.

00:30All the English voices were mine.

00:33What I want to say to the kids, I told Leo off-cam,

00:38impressive is a weak word, right?

00:42Your body of work in the theater is magnificent.

00:45It's so beautiful.

00:47I was reading your materials last night, and I said,

00:49Leo did all of this?

00:51Yes.

00:52Equus, Caligula, all the big, big theatrical roles.

00:57But, you know, I'm just so happy.

00:58That's why I meant it when I said I am honored to be in your presence.

01:01But let's talk about, just quickly, two minutes,

01:05the congressman, Manik Manaug, how did that come to be?

01:09In 1989, we couldn't get an interview with the congressman.

01:14Mr. Shuley of Junor Bano said,

01:18you do it.

01:20I said, okay, I'll invent a character,

01:23but I want to use a Puntong Batangueño.

01:28He said, okay.

01:30So I asked Nani Perez, who was the congressman at the time,

01:34and Bono Adasa,

01:36the combination of the two,

01:38that's the congressman, Manik Manaug.

01:41He said, you think you know it all, but you're stupid.

01:48He's so good, but he's stupid.

01:50Okay, so that's how it was born.

01:52When they say, you know, you talk to women, you talk to men,

01:56you always hear this line, you know,

01:59sex appeal is about sense of humor.

02:02Is that true?

02:04I don't know.

02:08I'm not a woman.

02:10But even men.

02:12They would say, I like funny women.

02:14She makes me laugh.

02:16Not me.

02:18I don't like funny women.

02:20You don't like funny women.

02:22Okay.

02:24You like them strong.

02:26Maybe.

02:27No, you know why?

02:28Because we're talking about your wife Gina, for example.

02:30Our friend Sheree.

02:32How was your relationship before our friend Sheree passed on?

02:37Before?

02:39We were very close.

02:41Even Gina and Sheree are close.

02:43Are good friends.

02:45I'll show you a picture.

02:47There.

02:48Beautiful.

02:50Happy, happy, happy life.

02:52And my children, they grew up.

02:54They're siblings.

02:56Every time you're asked in interviews,

02:58how many children do you have, you always say, two, one, three.

03:00Two, one, three.

03:01Two in the first, one in the second.

03:03That's how simple it is.

03:05Because it's my fault.

03:07I don't want to add to that.

03:09I don't want to be a hypocrite.

03:11The congressman doesn't want that.

03:13Yes.

03:15Although the congressman understands that.

03:17Okay.

03:19Last question, Leo.

03:21Quickly, what is the difference

03:23between acting in television,

03:25in movies,

03:27and now in socmed?

03:29Well, there's no difference.

03:31As an artist,

03:33you need to distinguish

03:35where you're acting.

03:37What platform?

03:39Yes, in theater,

03:41you'll use something different

03:43than in movies.

03:45In theater, there needs to be tension.

03:47So, the exercises there are tension exercises.

03:49But in movies and TV,

03:51it's relaxing.

03:53Give it a line.

03:55For example, I love you.

03:57In theater, how would you say that?

03:59You need to position

04:01the proscenium there.

04:03Because that's the proscenium.

04:05That's the difference.

04:07There's no proscenium.

04:09When we talk,

04:11he'll adjust there so he can get me.

04:13I love you.

04:15So, it's different. It depends on where you are.

04:17In theater, there's tension.

04:19Because there's tension.

04:21It's larger than life.

04:23This is life itself.

04:25Right.

04:27Leo, thank you very much.

04:31Thank you.
