Young actress Kim Chiu admitted to have slapped singer Bugoy Drilon a tad harder than necessary while they were re-enacting a scene from the Vilma Santos film, “Dahil Mahal Kita: The Dolzura Cortez Story.”

“Lumipad ang ulo niya [Bugoy] pero di naman siya nagalit,” Kim said candidly in a taped interview aired in “Showbiz News Ngayon” on July 16.

The re-enactment happened in Dolphy Theater inside ABS-CBN in front of Santos. It was in lieu of a planned TV remake of the award-winning movie about the first Filipina to publicly admit that she has AIDS.

The scene that Kim and Bugoy relived was of the confrontation between Dolzura and her doctor when she was told of being afflicted with the disease.

Although Kim is yet to be picked for the remake, the actress was asked if she will use the project to move away from her tandem with Gerald Anderson who is said to be interested in working with another actress, Erich Gonzalez.

“Basta, ako, idol ko si Gerald. I am his number one fan,” said Kim.
