'Kusina Master' Chef Boy Logro Now Also A Movie Star, Doing Action At That

CHEF BOY LOGRO is now not just a TV host but also a movie actor. He shares topbilling with Ronnie Ricketts in Viva-Rocketts co-production of “The Fighting Chefs”. “Ni sa panaginip, never kong naisip na makakaabot ako sa ganito,” he says. “Sa edad kong ito, sino pang magtitiwala sa’kin para kunin akong artista? Pero dumating ang opportunity, sabi ko, di sige, hanggang kaya ko pa. When Direk Ronnie Ricketts told me he wants me to be in this movie dahil pinapanood niya ang shows kong ‘Kusina Master’ at ‘Idol sa Kusina’ at natatawa siya sa’kin, sabi ko, sigurado ka? E, bagay na bagay raw sa’kin ang material kasi ‘Fighting Chefs’. Ako yung wise man na tagapayo ng grupo naming chefs against sa grupo ng businessmen na gustong palayasin yung restaurants namin in Elite Square para tayuan ng condo. Wala akong acting experience, hindi ako nag-workshop, lahat, instant lang sa set. Di ko nga alam kung tama ang acting ko. At pagdating sa dubbing, naku po, ang hirap pala. Sabi ko, ayoko na mag-dialogue, magluluto na lang ako. Malaki utang na loob k okay Direk Ronnie para umayos ang performance ko rito sa movie.”

“The Fighting Chefs” will have a special cooking promo with Chef Boy Logro and the entire cast at Robinson’s Pioneer St. on Sunday, March 3, 4 PM. It’ll have its premiere night on Monday, March 4, at Robinson’s Galleria, 8 PM, and opens in theatres nationwide on March 6.
