MANILA \u2013 Gretchen Barretto is not shy to admit that she is a fan of actor John Lloyd Cruz. Thus, it does not come as a surprise that she is happy to be working with him for the movie \u201cThe Trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barretto said that she felt honored to be working with Cruz, who is considered to be one of the most popular actors today.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I have finally returned to the industry that I loved most, of course, there are few actors I\u2019d like to work with. I can\u2019t say how long I will be in this industry. So one of my ultimate dreams, I told myself, is to work with John Lloyd because I watch his movies. I\u2019m a big fan. I believe in his talent. And more than that, I really am the biggest fan of John Lloyd,\u201d said Barretto during the press conference held at Dolphy theater.<\/p>\n

She shared that when she was offered the part, she did not hesitate and immediately agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t feel that there was a John Lloyd on the set because he\u2019s really into his character; he is Ronald (his character) whenever he arrives on the set,\u201d said Barretto.<\/p>\n

In the story, Barretto plays the character of Amanda, a developmental psychologist and wife of Julian (Richard Gomez). Gomez will represent the 27-year-old mentally challenged Ronald Jimenez played by Cruz who is accused of raping his grade school teacher Bessy (Jessy Mendiola).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the heaviest (acting project) that I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Gretchen said. \u201cIn the beginning, I felt nervous like, \u2018Oh my God, I\u2019m a bit scared\u2019 because I didn\u2019t know what our director (Chito Ro\u00f1o) wanted me to do but later on, he\u2019d guide you in a way that he\u2019s still allowing you to do it (acting) on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trial\u201d is set to hit the movie screens nationwide on October 15. It also stars Enrique Gil, Sylvia Sanchez, Vivian Velez and Vince de Jesus. The movie was written by Kris Gazmen and Enrico Santos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
