John Lloyd Cruz to mark movie comeback with Jasmine Curtis-Smith

John Lloyd Cruz is officially returning to the big screen and he’s doing it with Jasmine Curtis-Smith!

According to Aubrey Carampel’s “24 Oras” report on Tuesday, Jasmine said in a press conference that their film was expected to come in the “next coming months.”

Meanwhile, John Lloyd revealed that the Kapuso actress was his personal choice for his leading lady because he was impressed by her versatility when she guested on his sitcom “Happy ToGetHer.”

“’Yung role na ginawa niya nung pilot episode namin, I think mahirap ’yon. Hindi lahat yata magagawa ’yon. Ang galing na nakita ko ’yon. Kaya niyang mag-transition from seryosong materyal to a sitcom,” he said.

Jasmine said she was grateful to John Lloyd for seeing her talent. She is also looking forward to exploring more of what she can do with their upcoming project.

“In my first 10 years, puro drama. ’Yon talaga yung na-highlight sa’kin pero gusto ko naman mapakita yung range ko na kahit anong genre, kayang pasukin,” she said.

John Lloyd inked a partnership with GMA Network after making his television comeback in June.

It was followed by the premiere of his sitcom “Happy ToGetHer,” which airs every Sunday. – Franchesca Viernes/RC, GMA News
