'Glee': Charice talks about 'first big movie role'--'Here Comes the Boom'

In between shooting on the "Glee" set, Charice Pempengco has been very busy filming a role in a new movie. "Here Comes the Boom" is currently being shot in Boston. And while this is Charice's second movie, it is her first substantial role in a "big movie." Talking with "The Inquirer" this weekend, Charice talks about the experience.

“… Boom” has been “a fun experience. I can’t wait to go back and do more scenes,” she said. “Kevin, Salma Hayek and Henry Winkler are really nice. That is what I like about doing a movie.”

Playing the role of a Filipina martial arts student, Charice's character is somewhat similar to her role as Sunshine Corazon on "Glee."

“My character’s name is Malia (which she pronounced Ma-lah-ya) de la Cruz,” Charice said. “I am Kevin’s student. I’m part of the school’s music program. I play the piano. Kevin plays a high school biology teacher who sidelines as a martial arts fighter to save our music program. Malia is like a brainiac. She loves music and biology. She’s one of the people who supports Kevin.”


Charice has enjoyed working with the cast of "Glee," but during a conference call with the Glee Examiner, she revealed that in general, she prefers filming movies.

"In filming movies, there is more time to get to know the people."

Charice will return for a few more episodes of "Glee" this season.
