The Tatsulok gangsters are savage people – harsh and often fighting. But behind the scenes, the actors portraying these characters treat each other as true friends. No, we don’t really want to infiltrate a place as dangerous as the corners of “Tatsulok,” but we think it’d be nice to bond with the cast when the camera is not rolling.
Here’s a compilation of the Tatsulok mafia’s behind-the-scenes ‘kulitan’ and ‘astig’ moments on the set of The Iron Heart.
The group serves real gangsta goodness with a ‘class picture.’ Who do you think is the topnotcher for being cute?
Only a few dauntless women could penetrate the gang. Two of them are Selene (Dimples Romana) and Nyx (Sofia Andres). Don’t be fooled by their looks, as these strong females can break the law – and their enemy’s bones. Off-cam, Dimples and Sofia have formed a ‘motherhood’ club of two as they go on mommy dates in their taping bubble from Cebu to Iloilo.
In the previous seasons, Nyx is often seen with Eros (Jake Cuenca), the best friend whom she loved in silence. Those who’ve followed their story can vouch for how extremely good they look together. But, surprise, surprise! Nyx has chemistry with Apollo/Tisoy (Richard Gutierrez) too!
Talking about chemistry, we see tons of that in Selene and Orcus (Christian Vasquez)’s characters. And it seems their playful ‘bardagulan’ also transcends into real life. Ask these two to stop for a photo, and they would flash their wackiest poses.
In an Instagram post, Dimples proved their friendship real by sharing a cute but touching message for Christian, who fondly calls her “baby love” or “baby cakes” in the series. She mentioned that fans now call her the same, thanks to Christian’s believable portrayal.
“You have shown a different side of you here that is gangsta with a heart and a completely rockstar of an actor you truly are... Walang Selene kung walang Orcus. Sa timpla mong ikaw lang ang nakakagawa, aliw na aliw ang mga manonood natin dahil sayo,” says a part of her caption.
Adding more good vibes to the series is the quirky ‘love triangle’ between Selene, Orcus, and Darren (Fabio Ide). Who says you can’t have a little humor in a such a violent world?
The “Tatsulok” crew has many times proven their loyalty to their group and each other. And loyalty means no one gets left behind. They’re ‘all for one and one for all’ – even in dancing!
