How The 'Stars Aligned' For Charo And Dingdong's First Film Together

It's Not Hard To Say That Seeing Charo Santos and Dingdong Dantes Together On Screen For The First Time Is Worth The Seven Years It Took To Happen.

The STAR attended an early screening of their upcoming movie, "Only We Know," directed by Irene Villamor. Although we can't say much yet due to a non-disclosure agreement, we came out of the theater thinking that whoever thought of bringing the two together pulled off a casting masterstroke. This film will prove that unconventional stories like this have a place in Philippine cinema.

During the screening, there were laughs, tears and squeals in reaction to the movie that tells the story of Betty (Charo) and Ryan (Dingdong), whose age difference doesn't matter in their developing relationship, the nature of which only they fully know and understand. Betty is already a retired literature professor long separated from her husband, when she gets to know Ryan, an architect still grieving over the death of his wife.

The image used for the official poster is one of the most crucial scenes that also best captures their chemistry, which we learned from the stars was also a process in itself.

On how they broke the ice on set, Dingdong said during our interview: "It was a long process because this was seven years in the making. So from the first meeting until we (started working on our) characters, our connection also gradually built up.
