Veteran actress Elizabeth Oropesa has shared her candid thoughts, declaring the late Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ), also known as “Da King,” as the best kisser she experienced onscreen. In a recent interview with Boy Abunda, Oropesa reminisced about her filming days with FPJ, describing their kissing scenes as exceptionally passionate, akin to the indulgence of Belgian chocolate.
Oropesa, who has starred alongside FPJ in films such as “Aguila,” “Bontoc,” and “Alupihang Dagat,” expressed her admiration for FPJ’s tender and loving approach to onscreen kissing. Her revelations come years after the passing of Susan Roces, FPJ’s wife, out of respect for her memory.
In her disclosure, Oropesa also touched upon the industry’s whispers about George Estregan, known for his kissing scenes, while sharing her own experiences with co-actress Alma Moreno. Oropesa’s openness about her onscreen experiences provides a glimpse into the personal dynamics and professional respect among actors in the Philippine cinema industry.
