For her part, Bangs said she doesn't know where her friendship with Kian will lead but to but admitted that she enjoys the actor's company.

"Tingnan natin kung anong mangyayari. Kasi sobrang click kami kasi pareho kaming Gemini, sobrang we share the same interests in life," she said.

She added that their closeness is not just for the promotion of the movie, they really get along well on and off camera.

"Hindi naman kami inuutusan. Hindi rin siya sinasabihan na maging close kay Bangs. Walang ganun. Kung ano yan eh choice niya yan," he said. (Sunnex)
