It is no secret that John Lloyd Cruz is dearly close to blockbuster director Cathy Garcia-Molina. But because he is technically absent in the television and movie scene for now, someone at least keeps his place filled in the heart of the director, that is, Kapamilya King of Hearts, Daniel Padilla.

Apart from their obvious closeness, Molina revealed that Padilla becomes a second Cruz to her because they are already fighting.

“Kasi ito [Daniel Padilla] nagiging John Lloyd, nagiging John Lloyd ng buhay ko, nakakaaway ko na po siya,” Molina said at the recent media launch of her latest movie “The Hows of Us” top-billed by Padilla and Kapamilya Queen of Hearts Kathryn Bernardo.

“The closer you get to a person mas nag-aaway na kayo. Nagkakaroon na kayo ng dahilan para mag-away kasi nga hindi na trabaho lang,” she added.

“Nagiging personal so nasasaktan na niya ko, nasasaktan ko na siya. Kasi kung trabaho lang pakialam ko sa kanya,” she continued.

In fact, their first real misunderstanding happened while they were shooting for the movie in Amsterdam.

“Minsan nakakalimutan namin nagta-trabaho lang kami, tropahan lang kami dun,” Padilla said.

“Unang away namin Amsterdam. Ako po kasi talaga matampuhin I’m a very sensitive person. Sensitive in a good way but in a bad way too. May mga panahon na naooffend na ko ni Daniel na hindi niyan alam but because he is Daniel to me,” said Molina. /jpv
