Ruru Madrid expressed his interest in working with Coco Martin for a project, especially one in the action genre while hoping that an opportunity would come in the future.
Madrid is the lead of the Kapuso action drama “Black Rider,” which is being shown at the same time as the Kapamilya series “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” where Martin serves as the lead actor, co-director, and creative director.
“Of course. Kahit sino, handang makatrabaho si Sir Coco, especially pagdating sa action. Wala pong pagdadalawang isip sakali man,” Madrid said on the sidelines of the Box Office Entertainment Awards last May.
(Of course. Anyone would be willing to work with Sir Coco, especially when it comes to doing something of the action genre. I have no second thoughts if it ever happens.)
Madrid said while the opportunity to work with Martin has yet to come, he is already “looking forward” to that possibility.
“Looking forward ako diyan. Sana mapagbigyan kami at maging plano ito ng Panginoong Diyos (I’m looking forward to it. I hope the Lord will allow it to happen and it would be part of His plans),” he said.
In an April 2024 interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Madrid said he is “not competing” with Martin despite their shows having the same timeslot, and instead sees it as a competition with “himself.”
Madrid and Martin appeared to be on good terms with each other, as the two exchanged hugs at an event last October 2023.
