Sina Robin Padila at Angelika dela Cruz
(para sa pelikulang Hari ng Selda)
tampok sa taklob-pahina ng Mr. & Ms. (March 19, 2002)

Larawang Tribiya

          Sina Robin Padilla at Angelika dela Cruz ang mga pangunahing bituin sa Hari ng Selda (2002), ang unang pelikulang kanilang pinagsamahan. Ang pelikula ayon kay Padilla ay tila larawan ng tunay niyang buhay dahil 70 hanggang 80 porsyento nito ay batay sa kaniyang mga naging karanasan sa bilangguan. Si Padilla ay nakulong ng tatlong taon, at sa mga panahong ito siya lumipat ng pananampalataya sa relihiyong Islam.

          Si Padilla ay kasama ni Deo Fajardo Jr, ang mentor niya at discoverer at director ng pelikula, sa pagsulat ng script ng Hari ng Selda. Marami sa eksena ng pelikula ay kinunan mismo sa loob ng bilangguan sa Muntinglupa.

          Para naman kay Angelika, ito ang kauna-unahang pelikula kung saan mayroon siyang pakikipaghalikan sa kaniyang katambal.
