Coco Martin comments on being the replacement of Aljur Abrenica in “Apag”

Coco Martin admits that it was awkward for him to do a kissing scene with rumored girlfriend Julia Montes.

Martin and Montes are cast as an onscreen couple in the upcoming film “Pola,” which is directed by Brillante Mendoza.

FreebieMNL had the chance to ask Martin about his kissing scene with Montes during the March 28, 2023 press conference of his film “Apag” which was held at SM North Edsa The Block.

“Ibang-iba ang pelikula namin na iyon,” says Martin with a laugh.

How did he feel while shooting his kissing scene with Julia Montes?

Siyempre, nakakahiya. Nahihiya kami,” says the actor who has worked with Montes in several TV shows and movies in the past.

How would Coco Martin compare his kissing scene with Julia Montes in the past and their kissing scene now?

Siyempre, nakakahiya pa rin. Nakakahiya kasi may ibang tao. But siyempre dahil work, naitawid naman.
