If there’s one person Zanjoe Marudo looks up to when it comes to comedy, it’s seasoned funny man and host Vic Sotto.

“Ewan ko, kung saan man ako dalhin, pinapanuod ko na siya mula pa noong bata ako. Hanggang ngayon sila pa rin ang pinapanuod ko. Hindi na sa akin nawala iyon. Nakuha nila yung market na ganoon,” Zanjoe said at the press conference of “The Illegal Wife,” his new movie with Pokwang.

Zanjoe even posts photos of Vic’s noontime show, “Eat Bulaga” on Instagram. 

Style and attitude

Zanjoe admires Vic’s comedic style and attitude. 

“Yung pagiging relaxed na tao. Yung pelikula niya, kahit comedy laging may lessons. Lagi siyang mabuting tao. Pwede rin sa drama and comedy.”

Zanjoe adds that Vic was nice to him when they met at ABS-CBN’s Christmas special.

More to learn

“The Illegal Wife” director Tony Reyes shared that Zanjoe’s character in the movie has Vic and Joey de Leon’s style.

“Alam kasi nila talaga na idolo ko si Bossing (Vic). Lagi kong pinapanuod yung projects niya. Kaya natuwa ako nung nalaman ko na si direk Tony Reyes yung director namin. Lagi niyang kasama si Bossing, so parang kasama ko na rin. Sabi niya, yung character ko halong Joey de Leon and Vic Sotto raw. Kailangan ko raw laruin yung character,” Zanjoe explained.

Although he has been doing comedy movies and TV shows, Zanjoe knows he still has to learn more about the genre. 

“Hindi ko masabi pa na isa akong komedyante kasi hindi ko naman kaya na iwanan mo ako sa stage mag-isa at patawanin lahat ng audiences. Kaya lang siguro ako natatawag na komedyante kasi may mga projects ako na comedy. Sinusunod ko lang yung sinasabi sa akin.”

Less pressure

Zanjoe plays an amnesiac, who is led to believe by Clarise (Pokwang) that they are getting married.

“Nung una mahirap. Kahit may drama may bale pa rin ng comedy. Ngayon mas nabawasan ng kaunti kasi kasama ko so Pokwang. Dalawa na kami ngayon.”
