00:00
I saw that you already have 18 major awards, is that right?
00:05
I don't know.
00:06
I checked your Wikipedia, 18.
00:08
Wow, that's a lot. I'm not counting.
00:10
I did my research, 18.
00:12
That's what you were reading earlier.
00:14
Hello everyone, I'm Dennis Trillo.
00:17
And I'm Sam Milby.
00:18
And today, we're doing Esquire Philippines one-on-one.
00:31
Do you have any hidden vocal talents?
00:34
Like beatboxing or yodeling that you've never shared with your fans?
00:40
I wish.
00:42
I really wish.
00:43
Actually, I've always wanted to learn how to beatbox.
00:47
I don't have that.
00:49
Really? You've never tried?
00:51
I tried. I tried and failed.
00:53
It's not like that.
00:54
You can sample it.
00:56
Oh no, I failed.
00:59
Really?
01:01
I'll try.
01:03
But I've always wanted to.
01:05
You?
01:07
My hidden vocal talent,
01:09
I don't know if a lot of my fans know this,
01:11
I really like to rap.
01:15
No way!
01:17
When I was young,
01:19
that's what I studied.
01:21
Rapping.
01:23
Andrew E. Francis.
01:25
He can rap as well.
01:27
I can't.
01:29
So,
01:31
sample it.
01:33
Sample?
01:35
Here we go.
01:37
Check this out, y'all.
01:55
Sample?
02:07
What's that?
02:09
Rapper, rapper, bro.
02:11
Huh?
02:13
Brandy Samuel.
02:15
Brandy Samuel.
02:17
Okay.
02:19
I don't know.
02:21
I was like, are you freestyling right now?
02:24
Memorize it.
02:26
What's one musical instrument
02:28
you wish you could master overnight?
02:30
Piano.
02:32
Hey, we're the same.
02:34
Piano, really.
02:36
Because I want to study music production here.
02:40
And in music production,
02:42
of course,
02:44
in all the instruments
02:46
that people use,
02:48
in the digital audio workspace,
02:50
you use the keyboard.
02:52
Most of the time,
02:54
biggest frustration.
02:56
What's the weird food combination
02:58
that you secretly love, but for others,
03:00
it's super weird?
03:02
Maybe this is something I recently discovered.
03:04
Actually, my wife
03:06
is the legend.
03:08
For Sinigang,
03:10
there's a dipping sauce
03:12
with fish sauce
03:14
and there's sugar.
03:16
There's sugar?
03:18
Yes.
03:21
There's fish sauce and sugar.
03:23
There's a lot of sugar.
03:25
I don't know.
03:27
It's a trip.
03:29
It's okay.
03:31
It's weird.
03:33
Try it.
03:35
I'll maybe try that.
03:37
If you weren't in showbiz,
03:39
what do you think
03:41
you'd be doing right now?
03:43
I think
03:45
as a musician,
03:47
I love music.
03:49
It's my first passion.
03:51
And this year,
03:53
I want to do music production.
03:55
I really want to,
03:57
in terms of sound engineering,
03:59
I want to even become
04:01
color grading.
04:03
I even have the controller for color grading.
04:05
For movies?
04:07
I do very basic
04:09
video editing.
04:13
Computers and tech stuff.
04:15
I'm very introvert.
04:18
I like to stay home a lot.
04:20
So,
04:22
what do you do?
04:24
What's something
04:26
you're really proud of?
04:28
Yes,
04:30
I saw
04:32
18 major
04:34
awards.
04:36
I don't know.
04:38
I checked your wikipedia.
04:40
Wow, there's a lot.
04:42
I did my research.
04:44
18.
04:46
Aside from the awards
04:48
we receive from artists,
04:50
I think having
04:52
a complete family
04:54
is the most important thing.
04:56
At the end of the day,
04:58
all the hard work you put in
05:00
as an artist,
05:02
whatever you do,
05:04
you do it for the family.
05:06
I think
05:08
it's good to feel
05:10
that you have someone
05:12
who helps you.
05:15
And maintain
05:17
a happy life.
05:19
Cheers!
05:21
That's right.
05:23
When you only live for yourself,
05:25
it's not a habit.
05:27
When you're serving other people,
05:29
you're giving to them.
05:31
You have a purpose
05:33
in your family.
05:35
That's important.
05:37
Who is an actor
05:39
you've worked with
05:41
that has taught you a valuable lesson
05:43
about the craft?
05:45
Have you worked with a lot of people
05:47
who teach you?
05:49
Yes, a lot.
05:51
I came from TVB.
05:53
I was in the first season of TVB.
05:55
It wasn't a search
05:57
to become an artist.
05:59
But when TVB House came out,
06:01
all the housemates
06:03
became artists.
06:05
It was such a phenomenal show.
06:07
I have no experience in acting
06:09
or singing.
06:12
It was just a few commercials.
06:14
My first movie was Direk Cathy.
06:16
Close to you.
06:18
With Jonoid and Dea.
06:20
I was so lucky
06:22
that I was the first
06:24
to work with them.
06:26
It was the biggest love we met.
06:28
At that time also,
06:30
it was with Jonoid and Dea.
06:32
For me,
06:34
it was a learn as you go.
06:36
I didn't know Tagalog.
06:38
It was really a learn as I go.
06:40
My first TV show was
06:42
Maging Sino Ko.
06:44
It was with Pip,
06:46
Anne, Jonoid and Dea.
06:48
It was more with
06:50
Shinji Gutierrez.
06:52
I was given
06:54
such a big opportunity
06:56
to work with
06:58
veteran actors.
07:00
People that I could learn
07:02
so much from.
07:04
I remember one thing
07:06
that Direk Cathy said.
07:09
New actors,
07:11
they like big movements.
07:13
As Direk Cathy said before,
07:15
I know it's not an actor's perspective,
07:17
but she said,
07:19
sometimes less is more.
07:21
Especially in movies,
07:23
because it's a bigger screen.
07:25
A small movement
07:27
maximizes the big screen.
07:31
The smaller the movement,
07:33
sometimes it's more just...
07:35
Don't do a lot of movements
07:37
It's connecting
07:39
with your co-actor also.
07:41
Less is more.
07:43
It's easy to remember.
07:45
It's easy to apply.
07:47
What's a skill
07:49
you're trying to learn
07:51
before and after?
07:53
The one we talked about earlier,
07:55
I'm also a frustrated guitarist.
07:57
Although I know
07:59
the basics of reading chords,
08:01
but drums,
08:03
plucking,
08:06
it's hard.
08:08
Guitar and piano,
08:10
but I never tried the piano.
08:12
I only tried the
08:14
Simply Piano app.
08:18
I have Playground
08:20
or something.
08:24
Simply Piano is also
08:26
what we like.
08:28
I don't have that.
08:30
I need time.
08:36
I was excited
08:38
because I haven't worked with him yet.
08:40
I remember
08:42
the first time I worked with him.
08:44
We did an ad with
08:46
Ginger Latchian.
08:48
It was a long time ago.
08:50
It was in...
08:52
Batangas?
08:54
Pasig?
08:56
Yes, I remember.
08:58
In that open area.
09:00
It was in different locations.
09:02
It was on an island.
09:04
We took pictures
09:06
with plated cards.
09:08
We did that.
09:10
We were together.
09:12
It was before
09:14
2006 or 2007.
09:18
Before that,
09:20
I did a close-up commercial.
09:24
I also auditioned there.
09:28
I was in the final casting.
09:30
When I saw the commercial,
09:33
I was like,
09:35
he's the one who was removed.
09:39
Those were our first encounters.
09:43
I learned about my work.
09:45
I said,
09:47
I'm sure there's a lot to do.
09:49
It's a long project.
09:51
I was excited but a little intimidated
09:53
because it was the last movie
09:55
I watched with him.
09:57
I was thinking,
09:59
what if I pass?
10:01
I was wrong.
10:03
He's really good.
10:05
He's a good guy.
10:07
He's humble and down-to-earth.
10:09
He's simple.
10:11
He's generous.
10:13
I was excited to work with him.
10:17
Same feeling.
10:19
I was really excited
10:21
because it was my first time
10:23
watching the original.
10:25
It's a beautiful story.
10:28
It's really a nice,
10:30
cute story.
10:32
I found the character
10:34
different.
10:36
Something I haven't done before.
10:38
Challenging.
10:40
I was able to do it well
10:42
because it was a very challenging role for me.
10:44
Very different.
10:46
I was excited
10:48
because the movie we did together,
10:50
Jen,
10:52
it did well.
10:54
I enjoyed working with her.
10:56
Director Lana.
10:58
Yeah, Jun Lana.
11:00
It was a lot of fun.
11:02
And of course,
11:04
the 18 multi-awarded Dennis Trillo.
11:08
It was the first time
11:10
we worked together.
11:12
But when we were working,
11:14
we were doing the workshops.
11:16
He's not show-based.
11:18
Just very genuine,
11:20
very authentic,
11:22
very down-to-earth.
11:25
Alright, guys.
11:27
Our movie,
11:29
Everything About My Wife,
11:31
is coming out this February 26.
11:33
It's directed by Director Yael Torrido.
11:35
Of course,
11:37

11:39
and Jen Ricardo.
11:41
This is under Creation Studios
11:43
and GNA Films
11:45
and also Glimmer Studios.
11:47
Watch it
11:49
