MANILA — Liza Soberano, who will be doing a movie with Gerald Anderson, admitted that Anderson was her first celebrity crush.

“Dati pinapanood ko lang siya sa ‘Tayong Dalawa.’ Siya yung unang male actor na hinangaan ako kasi sila ni Kim Chiu ang unang pinanood ko na teleserye.

(I used to watch him in ‘Tayong Dalawa.’ He was the first actor that I admired because he and Kim Chiu were the first stars I watched starring teleserye.)

The two stars will be part of the next big-screen project, “Everyday I Love You,” with Enrique Gil and Anderson, as the third wheel.
