James Reid and Nadine Lustre has been inseparable this past few months ever since their careers went up when they made the movie "Diary ng Panget" then "Talk Back and You're Dead". On their third movie "Para sa Hopeless Romantic" Nadine will play the role of Rebecca, the girl who loves to write lovestories with sad endings, which was caused by the sudden decision to break up by her boyfriend, Nikko, which will be portrayed by James Reid.
Although Nadine said that James and her are just really friends, she added that she treats James as her close friend since she can confide with him her problems and other things.
When asked about the success of their love team she added that they don't know why their love team worked but they really have this chemistry that they can't explain.
This is her biggest break ever since she's been getting a lot of endorsements and projects lately. She started out young but this is her biggest project yet.
A lot of things have changed in James Reid's showbiz career since the success of “Ang Diary Ng Panget.” After James’ stint on “Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash” in 2010, he had few TV projects until 2014 came along. Since then he's been busy doing magazine covers, endorsements and malls shows.
According to James, everything's been happening really fast and he wouldn't be where he is right now without Nadine which is why it's a teamwork. One wouldn't succeed without the other which is why they work hand in hand. He added that before, he was not really serious with having a showbiz career but now, he is really serious about his chosen craft more than ever.
James said that although Nadine is the closest girl in her life right now, he admitted that they're just friend. They want to focus on their career more. Many look up to them because they're famous and that made them even more responsible with their actions.
Both James and Nadine admitted that they're hopeless romantics. They've experience hearth ache, their fair share of love experience but they never stop dreaming of finding that one true love that will eventually happen to them someday.
Direk Andoy praised all the cast of this movie because even if they're all young, they took it seriously. They're working really well and can deliver as much as other veterans. With Nadine and James, he added that compared to the first time he worked with them, they are
completely mature and more comfortable to each other even though they have a kissing scene in this movie. He added that the movies will not work if the actors were not cooperative.
