James Reid on kissing Nadine Lustre: ‘It’s like natural already’

James Reid and Nadine Lustre admitted they are still getting used to their rising popularity which has their fanbase growing all over the world. “We’re very grateful. Even the OFWs and overseas fans. We do it really for the fans. Those watching the show they feel love, they feel like they can love again. Hindi namin in-expect na it would be this big so I didn’t really know how to react. It’s overwhelming. It’s a new feeling. I’ve never expected anything like this kasi first teleserye namin and ang daming OTWOListas. Achieve na achieve! (laughs),” James shared during the On the Wings of Love Media Day event held last October 12 inside ABS-CBN.

Nadine also shared the same feeling as her love team partner. “I’m super happy and super grateful. Hindi ko alam pero until now kinakabahan pa rin ako kasi siyempre gusto ko yung ginagawa namin mas marami pa ang makaka-appreciate tapos madami pa kaming pakikiligin, mas  marami pang manunuod. Super happy lang talaga,” she said.

One of the most anticipated parts of On the Wings of Love are the sweet and romantic moments between their characters Leah and Clark. But Nadine admitted they try to keep things light on the set during tapings. "Before (the scene) tawanan and after the scene more tawanan pa po (laughs). Meron kaming isang BTS na lumabas. Actually tawa kami ng tawa. Ganun naman all the time. Sa tingin ko medyo nasanay na kami,” she revealed. When asked if she has gotten used to James’s lips already, Nadine demurely said, "Nahihiya akong sumagot niyan (laughs)."

With the show already confirmed to be extended up to Valentine’s day next year, Nadine said she looks forward to seeing how Clark and Leah’s love story unfolds as well as the huge support they get form fans here and abroad. “Parang speechless lang kaming dalawa. Hindi namin akala talaga. Parang hindi pa rin kami makapaniwala na ganito kalaki yung OTWOL. Pero super thank you sa suporta niyo, pag kinikilig kayo kinikilig din kami kasi kinikilig kayo,” she shared.

James said that Jadine fans will be happy to know they can expect more kissing scenes on On the Wings of Love. "Oh yes. Marami (laughs),” he said. The Kapamilya actor also admitted that kissing onscreen has never been a problem for him and Nadine. "Nasanay na kami. Actually we don’t really talk about it before or after. Parang we already know what to do. It’s like natural already,” he explained.
