His videos have also gone viral, gaining millions of views on the platform.</p><p>In an interview with Bianca Gonzalez for the Cinema One show<em> The B Side</em>, Dennis shared that he always had a comical side, but he only chose to show it to a few people in his circle. He also admitted that he was initially reluctant to create a TikTok account.</p><p>&quot;Pili lang &#x27;yung mga pinapakitaan ko nun (pertaining to his comical side) nung time na &#x27;yun. Actually last year nag-decide ako na gumawa ng account ng TikTok. Sa dati ko pang manager pinipilit na niya ako sabi ko hindi ako yan. Di mo ako mapapasayaw sa camera. Ayoko &#x27;yung mga nakikita ko na bigla na lang pinapatong lang &#x27;yung mga cellphone tapos bigla na lang nagsasa-sayaw,&quot; he recounted.</p><div><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vWQgMG2FmZo" title="The B Side Full Interview with Dennis Trillo | Cinema One" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>But even when he switched management, he was still encouraged to open a TikTok account.</p><p>&quot;Nung nagpalit ako ng management pinilit pa rin ako so sabi sige siguro talagang kailangan kong gawin ito. Sa mga first videos na ginawa ko, siyempre napilitan lang ako pero sabi ko sige subukan ko lang. Nung umpisa hindi pa masyado until siguro nakasabay ako sa isang trend, tapos &#x27;yun nagtuluy-tuloy na,&quot; he said.</p><p>The <em>Green Bones</em> star later on found fulfillment in reaching a lot of people with his content.</p><p>&quot;Masaya rin pala lalo na &#x27;pag dumadami na ang views at nakikita mo &#x27;yung reaction ng mga tao na nakakataba ng puso and sa tagal ko sa industriya, utang ko rin sa kanila &#x27;yun eh na makita &#x27;yung side ko na &#x27;yun at i-enjoy siguro kahit papano,&quot; he remarked.</p><p>When asked what was the turning point of his TikTok journey, he shared: &quot;Siguro &#x27;yung nag-cartwheel. Pwede palang umabot ng ganito karaming views tapos puro kalokohan lang ipapakita mo eh may side naman ako na ganun so sabi ko sige pakita ko sa kanila. Nag-enjoy naman sila so tinuluy-tuloy ko pa rin.&quot;  </p><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@dennistrilloph/video/7424109446223170823" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7424109446223170823" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dennistrilloph?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@dennistrilloph">@dennistrilloph</a> Dennis YOLO!

The actor relayed the story behind the said content. </p><p>&quot;Nasa Japan kami ng buong pamilya. Nagi-isip kami ng content. Si Jen (Mercado) &#x27;yung nag-suggest nun. Sabi niya, &#x27;Sige bukas pagpunta natin sa Disneyland bili tayo ng crop top mo.&#x27; So &#x27;yun binaon ko &#x27;yung crop top dun sa Disneyland. Nagbihis ako dun sa harap nung castle so &#x27;yun shinoot namin ng isang mabilis lang. Siguro wala pang 5 minutes. Nung time na &#x27;yun, sikat &#x27;yung crop top ni Carlos Yulo, ginaya ko lang,&quot; he shared.</p><p>When it comes to creating content, the actor learned that he needed to have strategy as well.</p><p>&quot;Ngayon kahit puro mga kalokohan &#x27;yan kailangang mong may strategy... kailangang alamin mo kung ano &#x27;yung magpi-pick up, ano &#x27;yung uso. Siguro &#x27;yung pinaka-unang [criteria ko] dun is kung matatawa ba ako dun sa gagawin ko tsaka ko siya ilalabas,&quot; he said.</p><p>Dennis shared that he also now has an official videographer to shoot his TikTok videos.</p><p>&quot;Nung umpisa ako lang talaga gumagawa lahat. Until recently, siguro mga last month meron kaming hinire na magvi-video lang para mas i-upgrade &#x27;yung quality ng mga content,&quot; he relayed.</p>
