Idinagdag pa niya na nang mabasa niya na maganda ang role and that it would require him to speak in Spanish in some of the scenes, lalo na siyang na-excite sa na gawin ang project. “Marunong kasi akong mag-Spanish so sumusundot ako ng mga Spanish words na wala sa script, ako na lang mismo (grins). Ang mga lolo ko kasi, foreigners pareho. Ang lolo ko sa father side [ay] Spanish, ang lolo ko sa mother side, Spanish-American—so I can speak Spanish fluently.” Pero natatawa din niyang inamin sa amin na nagsisisi siya na hindi niya naturuan ang kanyang mga anak na magsalita ng Spanish.
