Eugene Domingo: The Next Comedy Queen Proves Talent is All You Need

Trixie Zabal | Published: Aug 26, 2009 - 11:03am

Where do you get your confidence about your body? (Eugene's swimsuit scene is a must-watch)

(Laughs) Sa rehearsal, hiyang-hiya ako. Pinagpapawisan ako, sobra! Di naman ako pala-bathing suit, di naman ako pala Boracay or pala-beach, mahilig ako sa malalamig na lugar. Di siya normal na suotin tapos si Dingdong Dantes pa ang kaharap ko. But because he was nice and was a gentleman when I asked him, "Do you find me sexy?," he said, "Very". Wow, so I said, 'Direk, action na!"

With leading man, Dingdong Dantes, in Kimmy Dora.
With leading man, Dingdong Dantes, in Kimmy Dora.

What's the one thing you discovered about your leading man, Dingdong Dantes, that not a lot of people know about?

There's more to Dingdong Dantes than the boy-next-door that we always see. Ang dami-dami pa niyang kayang gawin. He's so willing and able to experiment with his facial expressions, napaka kulit, kwela pala siyang tao. Kailangan lang niyang mag loosen up, to be given a chance to portray roles na hindi naka-kahon. Tapos malilimutan mo na saksakan siya ng gwapo. Malilimutan mo na may billboard siyang sexy sa EDSA.

What's the best thing about being the lead star in a movie?

In Kimmy Dora with Spring Films, being their first leading lady for their first film venture, they gave me the freedom to suggest, to choose, to give my inputs. That's the best part, kasi alam mo na, team effort ito.

In real life, would you want to have a twin sister?

No! 'Cause with my personality, parang dalawa na eh, so kung may twin pa ko, apat na yon.

What's a normal day like for Eugene Domingo?

Nowadays, it's always hectic. Yun ang normal day ko, for the past six months. A normal day for me is checking my calendar, fixing my bags, I like compartmentalizing things. I talk to friends, that's how I relax. Once in a while, I sing gospel songs, when I need to de-stress, when you need to turn back to zero.

    Good thing she was given a break to prove her bankability as lead star in a film.

    I've seen the movie. Its super funny! Even my husband who is picky when it comes to Filipino movies enjoyed it! Gats off to Eugune Domingo!
  • sharmainne rose Sep 09 2009 @ 10:04pm Report Abuse
    I am a big fan of Eugene,
    her brand of humor is not sarcastic, not slapstick, just original, eugene na eugene: a class of its own.

    I watched kimmydora at Glorietta, full house.
    I was standing from start to end, but all worth every cent.

    eugene is adorable and lovable...and original
    and original is always the BEST

    congratulations to the success of your movie

    I am a certified Kimmydorian.

    if ever she will play her cards well.....for sure she will be the next Comedy Queen....first, she don't need yung bulgar na pagpapatawa yung tipong OA kagaya ng ginagawa nina Ai Ai moslty and Yung nasa wawawi...yung singkit OA masyado hindi na sila nakakatawa....I admired Eugene/Cynthia Patag/Ruby Rodriguez/and Maricel Soriano

    @leoneli

    hellooo t*ng* ka ba o sobrang bobo mo talaga im sorry but i cant just take yung mga sinasabi mo, parang baliktad naman yun.. si eugene domingo effortless ang pagpapatawa di katulad ni pokwang jusko she needs to wear super daming abubot para lang nakakatawa.. AND SHE\'S NOT FUNNY AT ALL! very trying hard! si eugene simple lang pero nakakatawa at super mabait talaga sya! im not trying to make these 2 fight or whatever.. comment lang ha!

    galing ng movie, imagine ang asawa kong hindi mahilig sa filipino comedy film, napahagalpak sa katatawa, really nice film.... congrats
  • trinoma_rat Sep 07 2009 @ 09:22am Report Abuse
    i luv KD, the movie. Very funny. But i don't like the ending, it wasn't a cause for laughter, sorry to say. But ill recommend the movie for everyone, with parental guidance especially for the ending :)...and am just wondering why the cinema in trinoma cut some parts that were important? i saw them in the trailer but weren't in the movie. Like how did kimmy exchange places with dora? that was edited. In the trailer, kimmy had a dialogue like, 'pwede naman pala akong maging dora.' like i said, that scene was edited in the screening at trinoma.

    I AM SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF YOU UGE. FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN YOU WITH WITH CLAUDINE'S TELESERYE, I BECAME A FAN. SOBRA MO AKONG PINAPASAYA.I WATCHED ALL YOUR SHOWS AND MOVIES. WHEN YOU ACCEPTED PROJECTS FROM GMA7 I WAS SAD FOR THE MEANTIME BUT THEN I DECIDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO GMA7 AND WATCHED THE SHOWS THAT SHOWCASE YOUR TALENT.SAD THAT BEFORE THE TELESERYE'S FINALITY I HAD TO CANCEL THE GMA7 SUBSCRIPTION COZ IKAW LANG ANG NATURAL ANG HUSAY. NASASAPAWAN MO NA SILA AND THE PRODUCER PROBABLY GOT THREATENED THAT THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE BEING OVERSHADOWED BY YOUR ENIGMATIC TALENT. SAY MO.SUBSCRIBE ULIT AKO BECAUSE OF YOUR COOL CENTER, BUT SAD TO SAY THAT I WATCHED IT MORE WHEN YOU ARE MAIN HOST OF THE PROGRAM. NO OFFENSE SA CO-STARS MO. SI AI-AI FIRST AND SECOND SI POKIE LANG ANG PWEDE MONG KASABAY. KAWAWA TALAGA IYONG IBA. I SOUND SO BIASED. SORRY, KITA KO LANG ANG TUNAY NA TALENT.

    uge is really funny in kimi dora... naluha ako sa katatawa lalo na nung papalit-palit na siya ng character... she is really the next comedy queen... kudos also to writer Chris Martinez and to bb. joyce bernal, she's small but one terribly big talent... sana marami ang manood para sulit ang first venture ni papa piolo and ng SPRING films... thanks uge for sending me to sleep laughing out loud.

    Pokwang is better. Eugene is sarcastic, hindi ako natatawa. She makes people laugh by making someone a laughing stock. Kay Pokwang ako talaga natatawa ng todong todo.
