To get the woman he loves and is obsessed with, he takes a mysterious potion that will turn him into a young handsome man to win her heart.“In general I had so much fun. As an actor, you really have fun working with a director who allows you to play at the same time guides you. Para lang kaming naglaro the whole time. when I read the script I knew it was going to be challenging. But I knew Tito Dido, I knew him na from before and I knew it wouldn’t be difficult for me to kind of copy him. He turns into me. And then at the same time I always wanted to work with direk Ato (Bautista). I skimmed through the script and right away I said yes. It was an easy yes for me,” he shared.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/27/fresh-scoops/jake-cuenca-on-playing-a-monster-in-the-horror-fil-189262">READ: Jake Cuenca on playing a monster in the horror film ‘Sitsit’: ‘Medyo nakakatakot talaga’</a></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/22/fresh-scoops/look-jake-cuenca-ivana-alawi-star-in-iwant-origi-189171">READ: Jake Cuenca, Ivana Alawi star in iWant original film &#x27;Sitsit&#x27;</a></div>Jake said playing the alter ego of somebody normal was a big acting challenge for him. “Gusto ko makuha yung essence ni tito Dido kasi siya yung nagiging ako dito so kailangan ko siyang kopyahin.
