Ruru Madrid expresses interest in directing

Aside from acting, Ruru Madrid is also eyeing getting into directing.

On Wednesday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Ruru was asked if he has any interest in taking on a directorial job.

“Gusto. Sobrang gusto,” Ruru said.

The Sparkle actor confirmed that he will get there, and it’s something that he wants to do in the future.

“Yes. And anytime soon,” he added.

Ruru stars in “Lolong: Ang Pangil ng Maynila,” which is set to air its grand finale on Friday.

Ruru had wrapped up his taping for the series and signed off as his title character, saying playing the role of Lolong was never easy because it comes with some sacrifice. 

“Dumaan kami sa matitinding pagsubok, lalo na nung hindi ako makagalaw dahil sa injury. Kailangan naming baguhin ang takbo ng kwento. Pero hindi tumigil ang laban. Hindi bumitaw ang bawat isa. Lahat nag-step up, nagkaisa, at piniling lumaban para sa isa’t isa,” he said. 

The Kapuso Primetime Action Hero first played the title character in 2022 when "Lolong" Season 1 premiered.  

In "Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila," Lolong moves to Manila for a fresh start after losing his powers. There, he encounters action-packed adventures and challenges. 

The series airs Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras" on GMA Prime.
