MANILA - Actor John Lloyd Cruz was surprised when his newest leading lady, Jennylyn Mercado, said that they worked together over a decade ago.

Mercado, who stars in the upcoming romantic film "Just the 3 of Us" with Cruz, revealed that she had a scene with the actor in the ABS-CBN series "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay" aired from 2002 to 2003.

This was way before Mercado joined and won the talent competition Starstruck, which catapulted her to fame.

"Ikaw ang kaeksena ko, hindi mo maalala?" Mercado told Cruz, who was visibly surprised.

Mercado recalled that she worked as an extra during the show: "Kasi, nag-extra ako dati. Tinawagan ako ng manager ko, [sabi niya] baka pwede kang mag-extra sa soap nila Bea (Alonzo), 'yung Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay.' Eh wala akong alam, hindi talaga ako umaarte, wala akong alam. Tapos [sabi ko] sige, subukan ko lang."

"May kissing scene pa nga tayo doon," she reminded Cruz.

Cruz, who obviously forgot about his first encounter with Mercado, explained: "Grabe, ang hirap doon sa show na 'yon. Parang every taping day pang-MMK (drama) ang ginagawa ko. Masyadong intense 'yung show."

"Hahanapin ko 'yon sa iWant TV," he assured the actress.

Mercado then quipped: "Oo, iba pa itsura ko noon, mahaba na maitim ang buhok. Tapos medyo morena ako. Ngayon kasi, medyo maputi na ako."

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, "Just The 3 Of Us" will hit theaters nationwide on April 27.

Sophia turned 22 years old back in December 2024.

It was in September 2023 when the Filipino singer became one of the finalists of the reality talent show The Debut: Dream Academy.

"Para sa pangarap 🫶🏼 A dream that you wish will truly come true. I am beyond grateful for all the love, support, experiences, and opportunities I am receiving. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you all ✨ Maraming salamat po," she posted on her Instagram page in September 2023.

By November 2023, Sophia secured her spot as one of the final six members of global girl group KATSEYE, marking the beginning of a promising music career.

Sophia made her debut in June 2024 as a member of KATSEYE with the release of their first single "Debut." The group quickly gained traction, followed with their breakout hit "Touch" in July 2024.

The group reached another milestone in August 2024 with the release of their first extended play (EP), SIS (Soft Is Strong). To promote the EP, KATSEYE embarked on an Asia tour in September 2024, performing in South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan.

During a media interview in the Philippines, Sophia expressed her gratitude for the massive support that their Filipino fans have shown, especially for their hit song "Touch," which made its way onto the Billboard Philippines Hot 100.

"I feel like 'Touch' resonates with people. A lot of it comes from its sound and the choreography, and I feel like just how much we put into it and the intention. We’re so, so grateful," she said on the success of the track in the country.
