In an interview with ABS-CBN North America Bureau, July 3, Lee has only nice words for his kababayan, Charice.
“She’s unbelievably lovely. She’s a tough girl. I always think of her as still being young. “˜Po’ nang “˜po.’ I told her, “˜You don’t have to say that to me. I feel really old if you keep doing that.’ But she said it’s just how she grew up,” Lee related.
Lee has been exploring Hollywood in the past 15 years. He has played various Asian roles in Hollywood but it is his first time to play a Filipino in “Here Comes the Boom.”
