The Rising Tensions in “House of Lies”: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
If you haven’t tuned in to “House of Lies,” starring the dynamic duo of Kris Bernal and Beauty Gonzalez, you’re missing out on some serious drama! As the storyline heats up, the on-screen conflicts between their characters, Thea and Marj, have become nothing short of explosive.
Imagine this: in a recent episode, Marj—played by Beauty—grabs Thea and shoves her right into a cake! This jaw-dropping moment wasn’t just for comedy; it erupted after Marj discovered Thea’s affair with her husband, Paolo (played by Mike Tan). And if that wasn’t enough, Thea later finds herself in another sticky situation, being pushed into a punch bowl and dragged outside by an angry Marj. The intensity of these confrontations has captivated viewers and left many on the edge of their seats!
In a heartwarming report by Aubrey Carampel on “24 Oras,” both Kris and Beauty shared their love for doing these exhilarating catfight scenes. “As much as possible, I try to do everything,” Kris expressed passionately. Filming these scenes can be exhausting, requiring them to redo their makeup and shower between takes, but for Kris, it’s worth every drop of sweat. “Seeing the comments from viewers cheering me on makes it all feel so rewarding,” she shared, laughing, “Sometimes, I’m even scared to leave the house because people are so into my character!”
What’s refreshing is the bond between Kris and Beauty during these intense moments. Kris shared how the two discuss and rehearse their scenes together, creating a fun atmosphere even when things get heavy. “It’s not a burden at all, it’s actually quite light,” Kris noted.
Beauty echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of their physicality to ensure the scenes feel realistic. “I’m really grateful Kris is always game for everything,” she said, highlighting the incredible teamwork fostered by their director, Jerry Lopez Sineneng, and the talented production crew. “We’re just having fun! It’s truly a happy set,” she added.
And let’s not forget about the other half of the drama! On-screen rivals Mike Tan and Martin Del Rosario bring their own charm to the show. “We’re quite the playful bunch,” Mike admitted, revealing their lighthearted moments before filming the gripping scenes. “Right before each take, we reset and share a laugh, and then—bam! It’s all emotions on set,” he continued.
“It’s all about striking a balance,” Martin chimed in. “During shoots, it gets serious, but once the cameras stop rolling, it’s all about having fun!”
