Sharon, Gabby reunite in commercial
One of Philippine cinema’s most well-loved love teams of all time has reunited for a new McDonald’s television commercial.
Yes, about 16 years after they last shared screen time together in Laurice Guillen’s “Tayong Dalawa,” Sharon
Cuneta and former husband Gabby Concepcion are back together in a commercial to promote McDonald’s bestselling Chicken McDo and French fries.
Accompanied by a nice acoustic rendition of the Willy
Cruz OPM classic “Kumusta Ka,” the commercial opens with the actress dubbed as the Megastar enjoying her Chicken
McDo and French fries at a McDonald’s restaurant.
The camera then pans to Gabby who approaches Sharon and asks, “Do you mind if I join you,?” Sharon then ups the kilig factor by replying, “Ikaw naman, parang wala tayong pinagsamahan. (It’s not like we haven’t been through a lot of things together).”
The two exchange meaningful stares and smiles while no one else in the McDonald’s store seems to notice. While the two engage in conversation, Gabby tries to wipe the lips of Sharon with a napkin as the camera eventually pans away.
Prior to its online debut of the commercial yesterday Friday at 10:20 a.m., both Sharon and Gabby promoted the commercial with handwritten notes with references to their most popular movies together like “Dear Heart,” “P.S. I Love You,” “My Only Love” and “Tayong Dalawa.”
“Okay – just got an update from McDo. Before anything comes out on TV, you will all be able to see the long version of our ‘gift’ to you at 10:20 a.m. on digital muna. So check mcdo.ph Facebook page, and McDo ph’s YouTube Channel! Then we air on TV after! Spread the word!!! Thank you! Enjoy!!! Will be posting links ASAP,” the two posted separately.
Sharon also made sure to tag their daughter KC Concepcion on her Instagram post who promptly acknowledged it and posted, “Well played, fam. #NeverInMyWildestDreams.”
The McDonald’s commercial comes on the heels of three new Valentine videos by rival fast food chain Jollibee under its now annual #KwentongJollibee campaign. As of posting time, it had amassed over 1.7 million views on Facebook after only eight hours online. –InterAksyon.com
