Liza Soberano on 'Lisa Frankenstein' co-star Cole Sprouse: 'He never made me feel intimidated'
Liza Soberano shared what it was like working with Hollywood star Cole Sprouse, describing him as a “nice guy” and a “professional” on- and off-cam.
Liza, who plays Taffy in the upcoming film Lisa Frankenstein, talked more about the project in an interview with Media Mingle TV's Red Carpet Report. She shared how she relates to her role and what it was like being with big names in the industry, including Sprouse who plays the love interest of Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton) in the movie.
The local actress shared that while they only worked for one “pretty crazy” scene together, she was able to get a grasp of Cole’s brilliance in his craft.
“In that short period of time, I got to see how professional he is at what he does,” she shared, stressing how much of a “veteran” he is and noting that he started acting at such a young age.
“For such a young man, he is such a veteran in this industry, I would say. He started working when he was a baby and that shows, like all the experience that he's been through,” she continued.
Liza also highlighted how Cole constantly makes an effort to connect to everyone on set.
“He's constantly making sure that everybody is comfortable on set, that everybody is prepared,” she said, adding, “He also knows how to set the tone and the energy in the room, which is very important from a lead."
The 26-year-old actress also expressed her appreciation to her co-star, whom she described as “nice and humble.”
“He's such a nice and humble guy the whole time,” Liza said, sharing further how Cole helped her to be at ease on the set.
“He was really trying to help me warm up to everybody and try to get me to talk, which I really appreciated about him because it can be very nerve-wracking, working with you know, such big celebrities, such big names in the industry,” she explained.
She added, “He never made me feel intimidated by him, which was very pleasant.”
Lisa Frankenstein follows a misunderstood teenager as she reanimates a handsome corpse, who also happens to be her high school crush. The sudden, strange circumstance then leads them to embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness, "and a few missing body parts along the way."
The film marks the directorial debut of Zelda, the daughter of the late Robin Williams. It was written by Diablo Cody, who also wrote the dark comedy film Jennifer’s Body. The film is set to open in Philippine cinemas on Feb. 7.
