Coco, who played the role of a poser journalist in “Noy,” was overwhelmed by the reception even foreigners gave it.
“Nakaka-flatter kasi ang daming nanood na mga foreigner. Sobrang na-appreciate nila ‘yung pelikula,” he said on “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Nov. 22. He also appreciates it that fellow Filipinos attended the screening.
“Nakakatuwa kasi ‘yung suporta na binigay sa atin ng kapwa Pilipino natin na taga-doon. Ibang experience para sa akin. Iba sa Hollywood,” the young actor said. As “Noy” is the country’s entry to the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 83rd Academy Awards, Coco will return to Hollywood by December or January to drum up interest for the movie.

A hit in the presscon attended by the Hollywood press, Coco was besieged with seemingly never-ending questions, an experience he will never forget.
“Sabi ko nga nu’ng nasa Q & A ako, hindi matapos. Sabi ko, na-experience ko na lahat ‘yan. Ito ibang experience naman. Nakakatuwa kasi sobrang napansin ‘yung pelikula at kung sino man ako.”
While there, Coco met Michael Copon, an actor who appeared in “One Tree Hill.” The two easily bonded together. “Nagkukuwenthan kami doon kasi sabi nga niya gusto niyang pumunta sa Pilipinas. Gusto niyang magkatrabaho kami. ‘O, sige’,” he shared.
Admitting receiving a few inquiries while in Hollywood, Coco, humble that he is, does not want to brag about it.
“Nakakaanong sabihin pero merong mga nagkakainterest sa atin. May nag-i-inquire. Ayokong nag-e-expect. Ayokong pinang-uumpisahan ang mga ano,” he said.
