Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo


Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo go viral with their hilarious 'Bebot Challenge'!

Kapuso couple Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo have once again shaken up social media after joining the latest trend, the “Bebot Challenge.”

The challenge, which typically features a dramatic “before and after” glow-up using early 2000s aesthetics, took a funny turn with the Kapuso couple.

In Jennylyn's Instagram post, she shared their hilarious take on the trend that is currently making waves on social media and capturing the interest of netizens and fellow celebrities in the industry alike.

“Bebot ba kamo? Join tayo jarn,” Jennylyn wrote in the caption.

In the video, Jennylyn is seen looking fresh and gorgeous at the start, leading up to the transition part of the challenge. When the transition hit, a hilarious Dennis appeared, sporting women's clothing and a wig.

The actor was clearly "feeling himself" as a "Bebot" in the challenge, continuously striking poses and acting glamorous until the very end of the video.

Adding to the fun was Jennylyn's caption on the video, which included a hilarious hashtag for her husband's transformation: “#fromdennistodenise.”

Netizens couldn't get enough of the clip, with the comment section quickly filling up as fans shared their hilarious reactions to the couple's antics.

“The plot twist we needed! Hahaha,” a netizen wrote in the comments.

“Grabe nashook ako @mercadojenny,” another fan commented.

“Bebot ngaa,” wrote another netizen.

Even fellow stars like Shaira Diaz, Eugene Domingo, and Camille Prats couldn't help but react to the video shared by the celebrity couple.

“Nagulat ako sa kilikili @dennistrillo @mercadojenny HAHAHAHA,” Shaira commented.

“Laro,” wrote Eugene.

“Kakainissssss,” Camille wrote in the comments.

The clip captures Dennis's playful side and humor while Jennylyn was doing his makeup. Their daughter, Dylan Jayde, was also spotted in the video, clearly delighted by her father's transformation.

At the end of the video, Dennis couldn't help but crack a joke, saying, “Ang laki ko, ang laki kong babae!”
