"Actually, hindi ko po siya niligawan pero siya po 'yung pinaka-unang naging crush ko sa GMA," Ruru said of his 'Video City' co-star Yassi Pressman.
Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid revealed that Yassi Pressman, his co-star in the upcoming GMA Pictures and Viva Films movie titled Video City, was one of his first celebrity crushes.
When he was still competing in Protégé: The Battle for the Big Artista Break in 2012, Yassi became Ruru's partner in a dance number.
"Actually, hindi ko po siya niligawan pero siya po 'yung pinaka-unang naging crush ko sa GMA," he told reporters at the story conference of Video City.
"Ngayon niya lang nalaman 'yan, kaya salamat po. At least alam na niya ngayon," Ruru added while laughing.
Ruru then explained that when he was still making his entry into show business, he would often have a crush on celebrities he would meet in GMA.
"Si Yassi 'yung naging pinaka-una kong naging kapartner sa 'Protégé,' parang mayroon kaming ginawang sayaw doon, tapos nung mga panahon na 'yun, lahat ng makita kong artista, nagiging crush ko. Lahat, like si Barbie [Forteza], Bea [Binene], Lexi Fernandez, so lahat talaga.
"Pero si Yassi 'yung una kong nakatrabaho kaya siya 'yung pinakauna kong naging crush."
'Video City' tells the story of Han (Ruru), a film student who travels back to the 90s where he meets Ningning (Yassi), a woman who will change his life.
The movie is directed by Raynier Brizuela; co-written by him and Che Espiritu, writer and director of 2018 Cinemalaya film Pan de Salawal.
