According to Conan, he will be playing the role of Vish'ka in the GMA Telebabad soap. "I'm out of character this time. I'm playing a higante (giant). As you can see, I'm completely away from my usual romcom roles," he jokingly said.
He added, "[I'm the] leader of the [barbarian] tribe [called Askano]. And basically, I've lived for hundreds of years and having that ability, I've become the best."
Vish'ka will lead Askano in the absence of his kin. It was also a tribe that once served Sapiro before the last great war.
When asked how does it feel to be working with Filipino actors, Conan answered, "Brilliant! Everyone was really humble. It's really good, very easy to work on set."
