Coco Martin Shares His Most Unforgettable Moments in “You’re My Boss” with Toni Gonzaga

Kapamilya star Coco Martin recently sat down with Toni Gonzaga for an exclusive interview on Toni Talks, where he shared some of his fondest memories from their hit film “You’re My Boss”. The conversation quickly turned into a fun and lighthearted trip down memory lane, leaving fans laughing and reminiscing along with the two stars.

Coco began by expressing how “You’re My Boss” remains one of his favorite projects to date. Despite being known for his serious and action-packed roles, the actor admitted that working on a romantic-comedy was a refreshing experience. However, what truly stood out for Coco were the film’s English dialogues—a challenge that unexpectedly turned out to be a source of comedy.

“Honestly, hindi naman ako nagpatawa doon,” Coco revealed, laughing. “Pero hindi ko rin aakalain na nakakatawa pala ako. Yung experience natin na English-English!” he added, referring to the movie’s many scenes where he had to deliver lines in English, a task he found both fun and nerve-wracking.

Toni, who starred opposite Coco in the film, couldn’t help but chime in with her own humorous take. “Alam mo, ipagawa mo na lahat kay Coco—nudity, lahat magagawa niya yan. Wag mo lang siyang ipa-English!” she said, bursting into laughter, which Coco joined in on. The playful banter between the two highlighted their chemistry and the camaraderie they built while working together.

In “You’re My Boss”, Coco played a simple man thrust into the high-pressure corporate world alongside Toni’s character, a high-powered executive. The contrast in their personalities and the hilarious situations arising from their differences were among the movie’s highlights. Fans couldn’t get enough of Coco’s efforts to deliver his English lines with sincerity, often resulting in unintended comedy that endeared him to the audience.

Coco went on to explain how the experience taught him to embrace his limitations and turn them into strengths. “Ang importante naman siguro, nage-enjoy ka, and at the same time, napapasaya mo yung audience,” he said.

The interview also touched on how “You’re My Boss” showcased a different side of Coco, proving that he’s not just an action star but also a versatile actor capable of thriving in any genre. “Minsan kailangan mo rin mag-step out of your comfort zone,” he added, emphasizing the importance of growth and taking on new challenges in his career.

As the conversation continued, Toni and Coco shared a few behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the set. One particularly memorable moment involved Coco struggling to say a tongue-twisting English line, which left the entire cast and crew in stitches. “Sobrang daming takes, pero sobrang saya ng lahat. Yun yung mga moments na hindi mo talaga malilimutan,” Coco shared with a smile.

Toni also praised Coco for his dedication and work ethic, saying, “Ang galing talaga ni Coco. Lahat ng ginagawa niya, binibigay niya yung best niya, kahit mahirap.”

The interview concluded with Coco expressing his gratitude to fans who continue to support his projects, whether it’s in drama, action, or comedy. “Nakakatuwa lang na hanggang ngayon, pinapanood pa rin ng mga tao yung You’re My Boss. Salamat sa suporta!”

As the laughter-filled episode of Toni Talks wrapped up, fans were left with a renewed appreciation for Coco Martin’s versatility and his willingness to embrace challenges, even those as daunting (and hilarious) as speaking in English.

Whether it’s through intense action scenes or heartfelt comedic moments, Coco Martin continues to prove why he remains one of the most beloved stars in Philippine entertainment. And with stories like this, it’s no wonder why his fans just can’t get enough!
