Enchong Dee says being compared with Xian Lim is not an issue

Enchong Dee feels re-energized that he was able to maximize his summer vacation before he starts working again. The actor related that he went cliff diving and shark diving in Hawaii and watched an NBA game and broadway shows in the US.

Enchong is currently shooting for his movie The Reunion and will also soon start taping for his new teleserye, which will also star Maja Salvador, Xian Lim and Kim Chiu. In the teleserye Ina, Kapatid, Anak, Enchong will be paired with Maja for the first time. “It’s another chapter of your career, of whatever work you have,” he said.

He added that he is excited to work with Maja, who known for being a good actress. “Sana matulungan niya ako [pagdating sa acting]. Hindi namin alam kung ano ie-expect. Ang teleserye nga umaabot ng isang taon kasama ‘yung preparation, parang panibago na iba ‘yung makakapareha mo, hindi katulad ng movie na maikli lang so hindi namin alam kung ano ie-expect.”

Coincidentally, in both the new teleserye and the movie, Enchong will be working with Xian. The two young actors have been constantly compared to each other nowadays. The athlete-turned-actor shared that comparison is normal and understandable and the good thing is that he and Xian don’t let the competition get the best of them. “Hindi mo maiiwasan kasi ‘yung ginagawa namin pareho. It’s a good thing na hindi kaming dalawa ang nag-clash. Okay kami, magkaibigan kami, kaya wala kaming kailangang maging isyu kasi okay kami,” he clarified.

Since they are co-stars, Push.com.ph asked Enchong if he and Xian got to talk about being pitted against each other. Enchong replied, “Hindi. Kasi hindi naman talaga siya big thing para [sabihin na], ‘Pag-usapan natin ito, bro.’ It’s just another thing that’s part of your work. ‘Di big thing ang bagay na ito.” He agreed that the comparison between them could motivate them both to be on their toes and prove that they are perfect for whatever role or work is assigned to them.

Meanwhile, Enchong said that the movie is almost finished. The Reunion will also star Julia Montes, Jessy Mendiola, Megan Young, Kean Cipriano, and Enrique Gil. Enchong said that one good result of doing the movie is that they all became good friends. “Ang hirap pala, pare-pareho kayong makukulit. ‘Pag nagsama-sama parang clash. Pero it’s a good clash kasi ‘yung energy namin naghahatakan kami pataas, kasi ‘yun ang kailangan ng movie, uplifting ‘yung movie, eh,” Enchong explained.
