The two recently signed on to do the movie adaptation of <i>Once Upon A Princess. </i></div><div><br/></div><div><i>“Sinabi ko nga sa kanila na kinabahan ulit ako</i>. Before<i> pag gumagawa ako ng pelikula kahit papaano may</i> confidence<i> na alam mo </i>it will turn out good. <i>Dito parang wala akong</i> expectations, everything’s a blank.<i> Parang</i> we’re just going to fill it up, whatever is going to happen <i>sa</i> shooting. So<i> ngayon</i>, honestly <i>may takot </i>(laughs),” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>After more than three years of working on separate projects, Enchong said he has yet to see the difference in Erich. Once Upon A Princess is set for a release date in mid-March. “<i>Malalaman namin sa</i> shooting <i>yun kung may</i> difference,<i> pag nasa</i> process <i>na kami </i>of working together on <i>Once A Princess. Siguro kinailangan din namin yung time</i> apart para since<i> Katorse</i> halos everyday kami for two to three years<i> kaming magkasama</i> and now three years <i>din kami nagkaroon ng</i> break and then <i>magkakasama ulit kami,</i> we’re hoping<i> na sana naging</i> mature<i> kami </i>along the way (laughs),” he admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>When it comes to the looks department, he admitted he is impressed by how even more attractive his co-star has become. <i>“Pero si</i> Erich<i> pag kinompare mo yung mga</i> photos<i> niya </i>before and now <i>parang mas bumabata pa siya lalo,” </i>he added. </div><div><br/></div><div>When their love team took a break, Enchong took it as a good career move. <i>“Siguro </i>at an early age we knew <i>na kailangan naming mag-</i>grow apart as an actor and as an actress so <i>nung sinabi rin sa amin na </i>we’re going to go our separate ways,<i> tinanggap namin yun kasi alam naman namin na marami kaming matututunan kapag may mga nakasama kaming ibang tao sa ibang proyekto</i>. Now, working together again, whatever we got from our past shows apart,<i> puwede naming ito dalhin dito</i> and who knows <i>mas magiging maganda yung</i> results,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Enchong also admitted that he is lucky that he and Erich have natural chemistry. “I think yun yung edge naming<i> dalawa eh kahit kanino</i>, the moment<i> na magsama kami nawawala yung</i> inhibitions<i> naming dalawa. Ewan ko kung bakit </i>(laughs).<i> Gamay namin yung isa’t isa kahit may tampuhan kami, pag magsama kami sa isang eksena parang wala. Kahit</i> good mood<i> kami tapos</i> bad trip <i>yung eksena, nagagawa pa rin namin. </i>It’s weird but I think that’s what they call chemistry,” he explained. </div><div><br/></div><div>Now that they are both older, Enchong said it’s about time they move on to do more serious drama and he said this movie is going to be different from their past romantic comedy. “Now we’re not getting any younger so definitely we just talked about it <i>na</i> it’s going to be mature, <i>hindi siya</i> rom-com, it’s going to be a romantic film. And I remember that the last romantic film that I did was I Do din, parang always it’s a different theme but never a romantic so this is the more mature story. So<i> makikita nila yung</i> jump from<i> I Do</i> to <i>Once Upon A Princess,</i>” he shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>Fans of their love team “EnRich” have also made their presence felt to Enchong which he and Erich both appreciate. <i>“Kasi nagugulat din kami, nagkikita na lang kami sa </i>Instagram <i>din, parang nandun din sila</i>. They’re posting photos and when we announced<i> na</i> we’re going to do a movie together for 2014,<i> parang</i> all of a sudde<i>n bigla silang nabuhay</i> and posting photos, editing photos, like even when we celebrated Christmas in two different countries,<i> dinidikit nila yung </i>photos! So you know <i>na</i> they never left us,” he said.</div><div><br/></div>
