Body Talk with Enchong & Erich

Like Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin who didn’t pretend that there was “something” between them during the promo for Star Cinema’s Maybe This Time that did very well at the tills, Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales aren’t “fooling” the public by pretending to be lovers in Once Upon A Princess, also from Skylight Films of Star Cinema, which is showing nationwide starting on Wednesday, Aug. 6. It’s their third movie starrer together, following the indie Paano Ko Sasabihin in which they turn deaf-mute when face-to-face with each other and the rom-com I Do.

In fact, Enchong happily told the movie press that he now has a girlfriend whose name he’s withholding “because she’s not from showbiz” and Erich herself is proudly wearing a ring (engagement?) given to her by her boyfriend, said to be a mall magnate’s nephew 10 years Erich’s senior.

But in Once Upon A Princess, directed by Laurice Guillen, Enchong and Erich get out of their comfort zones and dare do, according to the press bulletin, “a number of intimate scenes.” Also starring JC de Vera (part of the love triangle), the movie is about a young woman whose life turns upside-down after she falls from (her family’s) grace.
