"It’s crazy. Honestly, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala."
These were the words of Inigo Pascual as he described his experience bagging a role in the Hollywood series Monarch by Fox.
In an exclusive interview with MJ Felipe of ABS-CBN News, Inigo admitted that things haven’t yet sunk in for him.
"Every time someone congratulates me about it, hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in sa akin na it’s happening. It all happened so fast ever since I did the audition," he said.
The singer-actor relayed that he performed two songs for his audition.
"I had to sing two songs. One was a country song and one was a pop song," he shared.
He also relayed that he celebrated his birthday last September 14 on the set of Monarch wherein he shared a conversation with actress Susan Sarandon.
"She’s honestly so sweet. I had this talk with her on my birthday. I celebrated my birthday on the set and I told her all I want for my birthday is a picture with you. Sabi niya you’re so sweet. Tapos we had this conversation for 20 minutes and grabe sobrang down to earth na tao," he relayed.
