Dennis Trillo says he was 'starstruck' with Bea Alonzo while taping 'Love Before Sunrise'

Not even Dennis Trillo is immune to being starstruck — especially when in the presence of Bea Alonzo!

During a presscon on Saturday, the Kapuso actor said he was nervous when he first started taping with his "Love Before Sunrise" leading lady.

"Noong first day sobrang ninenerbyos talaga ako," he said. "Na-sa-starstruck ako every time may eksena kami."

"'Pag nasa taping ako, chinecheck ko ‘yung breakdown, kung gano karami ‘yung eksena namin ni Bea," he added. "Kasi ibig sabihin kailangan ko galingan sa eksena na 'yun."

Dennis called Bea the "Box Office Queen," and said he felt pressured.

"Napakagaling [ni Bea], ilang pelikula rin niya ang napanood ko," he said. "Nakakakaba na experience."

However, things smoothened in time.

"Once nakuha namin ang aming rhythm, and camaraderie sa set, talagang naging maganda ang flow at naging komportable," he said.

In "Love Before Sunrise," Dennis and Bea are soulmates whose right love happens at the wrong time. It's a collaboration project between GMA Network and Viu Philippines.

Joining them in the cast are Andrea Torres, Sid Lucero, Nadia Montenegro, Sef Cadayona, Cheska Fausto, and Vince Maristela. —with reports from Carby Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
