Erich Gonzales is back in the country after spending some weeks in Thailand to shoot her upcoming movie with Thai heartthrob Mario Maurer. “We’re almost done with the movie,

pero

there’s still sequences left

na isu

-shoot

namin

and

‘yon,

exciting

kasi ipapalabas na siya ngayong

October,” the actress shared during Yes Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful Stars event last Monday, June 3. The rest of the scenes are expected to be shot in Ilocos.

Erich related that she had so much fun in the company of her foreign leading man while in Thailand. “He is very fun to work with,

napaka-ano niya

, kid at heart,” she beamed. “Very playful and

kaming lahat

[including]

mga

Thai actors okay

kaming lahat sa

set.

Kasama ko po sa

Thailand

si Ate

Joy Viado so

siya ‘yung nagdadala ng

comic relief.”

The actress also confessed that she had to adjust in the beginning since it was her first time to work with a foreign actor. “At first

talaga siyempre po ‘yung

culture differences,

pero

when I got to know him

sobrang

cool

siya. Wala talaga akong masasabi sa batang ‘yon sobrang bait talaga

.”

She also revealed that she met Mario’s long-time girlfriend, Sumontip Leuangthai, who also goes by the nickname Gubgib. “I’ve met his girlfriend,

nag

-visit

siya.

They’ve been together for nine years. She’s such a sweetheart, I love Gubgib,” Erich said. “

Nagbisita siya sa

set.” She continued that Mario’s special someone came with food for everyone.

Though Mario’s status is public knowledge, Erich is not worried that less people might show support to their team-up. “For me

po ‘yung

audience

natin ngayon

they’re very open, as long as

maganda ‘yung

story,

maganda ‘yung pagkakagawa ng proyekto

, I know they’re supportive

po.

”

Erich’s tone then changed and became a bit hesitant when asked about the non-showbiz guy that she previously admitted that she is dating. “Okay

naman

. I’m very happy with everything that’s going on

sa buhay ko

.”

When asked directly if she is now in a relationship, her safe answer was, “I’ll let you know

po

. I’m dating a non-showbiz guy and I’m enjoying that.”
