Meryll Soriano is pretty much used to seeing actors go to extremes in order to portray a particular movie role.  However, when John Lloyd Cruz had to shave his head for their movie Conman: Honor Thy Father, she admits that although they were laughing about it at first, everyone held their breaths when the moment of truth came. In Conman: Honor Thy Father, one of the eight official entries to the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), Meryll Soriano and John Lloyd play a married couple who resort to desperates measures.  Meryll’s character is accused of swindling money from churchgoers who invested in a get-rich-quick scheme.  John Lloyd had to shave his head in one of the key scenes of this crime drama. “Una, ginupitan siya, tapos kinalbo na. Nung nag-shave si Direk Erik ng ulo niya, naging confident na si JL,” recalls Meryll. “Habang shine-shave, kabang-kaba kami para sa kanya. Siyempre, precious sa kanya yung buhok niya. Kung ako nga ang kakalbuhin, [sobrang kakabahan rin siguro ako],” adds the actress. This is not the first time Meryll and John Lloyd are working together. “We worked together in Betty La Fea before…but now, everybody got to see his transformation. Every time we do a scene, I’m very impressed. He’s so humble. We collaborate: ’Anong gagawin natin? Takot ka ba sa eksena ito?’” she says about her co-star.  In Conman, John Lloyd's character resorts to his shady past as an acetylene gang member in order to raise millions of pesos needed in order to ensure the safety of his family.  Their respective portrayals are something to watch for in this movie.  “It’s so substantial, and not fake. Hindi kailangang magpaganda o magpaguwapo. It’s different altogether for him, and I’m very happy to have witnessed that and to be part of that,” ends Meryll.
