PNS — HOW did Cogie Domingo feel while watching the gay love scenes he did with Sid Lucero in “Muli”? “I knew we shot those scenes but when I watched it, na-shock pa rin ako,” he says. “Parang di ako makapaniwala. Ginawa ko ba talaga ito? Sid and I have three nude love scenes and we’re glad nga it was approved without cuts kasi pinaghirapan namin at pangit naman kung mase-censor lang.”
In their first bed scene, he’s shown entering Sid sideways. In the next one, he is seated while Sid does a Victory Joe on him. In another, it’s Sid who’s on top. How does he feel with the reviews saying Sid’s acting is better than his? “Totoo naman magaling talaga si Sid dito. Maski ako, nagandahan sa acting niya. What’s important is we’ve come up with a very good film about a gay love story that runs for four decades.”
What can he say about Sid’s manager, Ricky Gallardo, demanding that Sid be billed ahead of him when he’s the one who’s more senior between them since he started acting when he was 13? “Wala sa’kin yun. I wasn’t even aware nagkaroon ng ganung issue na pinag-awayan ang billing.”
We were informed that the film has two different posters. In one, Cogie’s name is billed ahead while in the other, Sid’s name is the one on top. Cogie turned 25 on Aug. 15 and vowed to be more professional now that he’s making a comeback. He’s currently a mainstay in TV5’s “Inday Wanda”. How come there’s a story that he’s backsliding and becoming unprofessional again? “That’s not true. I don’t know why sinisiraan nila ako uli.” Was he annoyed when Keanna Reeves revealed in “Paparazzi” that they had an affair? “No, hindi ako nabuwisit. We’re just friends kasi natuwa ako sa kanya noon when I was watching her sa PBB.” Does that mean what Keanna said about him is not true, including her statement that he’s “daks” (well endowed)? “Ah, ‘yun, totoo ‘yun. ‘Yung mga iba pa, ayoko nang sagutin.”
