00:00There was a time that you used to do voicing, and you even dubbed, I think, right?
00:10Oh yeah, when I started in the showbiz, I mean in the movies, I was a dubber, I got a dubber.
00:18What I dubbed was what the English made of our movies back then,
00:23that was shown in Okinawa, in Hong Kong, in Hawaii.
00:26So I was always the voice of Joseph Estrada, the English.
00:30All the English voices were mine.
00:33What I want to say to the kids, I told Leo off-cam,
00:38impressive is a weak word, right?
00:42Your body of work in the theater is magnificent.
00:45It's so beautiful.
00:47I was reading your materials last night, and I said,
00:49Leo did all of this?
00:51Yes.
00:52Equus, Caligula, all the big, big theatrical roles.
00:57But, you know, I'm just so happy.
00:58That's why I meant it when I said I am honored to be in your presence.
01:01But let's talk about, just quickly, two minutes,
01:05the congressman, Manik Manaug, how did that come to be?
01:09In 1989, we couldn't get an interview with the congressman.
01:14Mr. Shuley of Junor Bano said,
01:18you do it.
01:20I said, okay, I'll invent a character,
01:23but I want to use a Puntong Batangueño.
01:28He said, okay.
01:30So I asked Nani Perez, who was the congressman at the time,
01:34and Bono Adasa,
01:36the combination of the two,
01:38that's the congressman, Manik Manaug.
01:41He said, you think you know it all, but you're stupid.
01:48He's so good, but he's stupid.
01:50Okay, so that's how it was born.
01:52When they say, you know, you talk to women, you talk to men,
01:56you always hear this line, you know,
01:59sex appeal is about sense of humor.
02:02Is that true?
02:04I don't know.
02:08I'm not a woman.
02:10But even men.
02:12They would say, I like funny women.
02:14She makes me laugh.
02:16Not me.
02:18I don't like funny women.
02:20You don't like funny women.
02:22Okay.
02:24You like them strong.
02:26Maybe.
02:27No, you know why?
02:28Because we're talking about your wife Gina, for example.
02:30Our friend Sheree.
02:32How was your relationship before our friend Sheree passed on?
02:37Before?
02:39We were very close.
02:41Even Gina and Sheree are close.
02:43Are good friends.
02:45I'll show you a picture.
02:47There.
02:48Beautiful.
02:50Happy, happy, happy life.
02:52And my children, they grew up.
02:54They're siblings.
02:56Every time you're asked in interviews,
02:58how many children do you have, you always say, two, one, three.
03:00Two, one, three.
03:01Two in the first, one in the second.
03:03That's how simple it is.
03:05Because it's my fault.
03:07I don't want to add to that.
03:09I don't want to be a hypocrite.
03:11The congressman doesn't want that.
03:13Yes.
03:15Although the congressman understands that.
03:17Okay.
03:19Last question, Leo.
03:21Quickly, what is the difference
03:23between acting in television,
03:25in movies,
03:27and now in socmed?
03:29Well, there's no difference.
03:31As an artist,
03:33you need to distinguish
03:35where you're acting.
03:37What platform?
03:39Yes, in theater,
03:41you'll use something different
03:43than in movies.
03:45In theater, there needs to be tension.
03:47So, the exercises there are tension exercises.
03:49But in movies and TV,
03:51it's relaxing.
03:53Give it a line.
03:55For example, I love you.
03:57In theater, how would you say that?
03:59You need to position
04:01the proscenium there.
04:03Because that's the proscenium.
04:05That's the difference.
04:07There's no proscenium.
04:09When we talk,
04:11he'll adjust there so he can get me.
04:13I love you.
04:15So, it's different. It depends on where you are.
04:17In theater, there's tension.
04:19Because there's tension.
04:21It's larger than life.
04:23This is life itself.
04:25Right.
04:27Leo, thank you very much.
04:31Thank you.
