LJ Reyes on Paolo Contis’ Netflix hits: ‘Now people will see how good of an actor you are’

LJ Reyes has expressed how proud she is of her partner Paolo Contis as two of his films topped Netflix’s most-watched list this month.

“Let not this night pass without me posting how proud we are of you!!!!” LJ posted on Instagram Monday as she shared a photo of Paolo posing beside a television.

Beside him, the screen flashed Netflix’s dashboard showing his film “Through Night and Day” at No. 1 of the streaming app’s most-watched shows.

“I’m so happy that now people will see how good of an actor you are and so much more!!!” said LJ.

“Through Night And Day,” which also featured actress Alessandra de Rossi, premiered July 9 and was among the trending topics on Philippine Twitter as of Sunday.

The film tells the story of newly engaged couple Ben and Jen, who have been together for 13 years. They take a trip to Iceland, Jen’s lifelong dream destination, where they'll be facing conflicts and misfortunes together.

LJ said she was thankful to see Paolo become the best version of himself, and “much more grateful that it’s unfolding right before my eyes!”

She added she was excited to show Paolo’s success to their children Aki and Baby Summer.

Paolo’s other Netflix hit, “Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap,” has consistently been on the top of the platform’s list since the film started streaming on July 2.

The film, which is about four men who wish to become the best holduppers in their barangay, is headlined by Paolo (Nicoy), Pepe Herrera (Eman), Jelson Bay (Carlo) and Jerald Napoles (Toto). – Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/RC, GMA News
