Actor Dingdong Dantes made his reaction after the casket he used for the movie ‘Rewind’ was sold for P250,000 on Pinoy Pawnstars.
In his Instagram post, Dingdong described how he felt when lying on the casket.
“[Medyo] malambot naman siya sa loob,” he said.
It can be recalled that Pasky Illagan, who owned St. Athanasius Memorial Chapel, where the casket was rented for the iconic scene featuring Dingdong, initially offered the collection for P1-M.
However, while the casket was authenticated as the one used for the movie, a signature from Dingdong or the other main cast, Marian Rivera, didn’t exist, so they decided to bargain the price to P250,000.
Jayson ‘Boss Toyo’ Luzadas, who produced the show, addressed Dingdong, hoping that the actor would sign the casket.
“Sir Dingdong, alam ko nanood ka lagi ng ‘Pinoy Pawnstar’ so dito sa harapan ko ‘yung hinigaan mo sa ‘Rewind’, I hope ‘pag nagkasundo kami ni sir, pasyalan mo naman ako sa aking munting shop para mapirmahan mo,” he said.
Rewind is currently the highest-grossing film of all time in the Philippines, making the props used for the movie attractive to collectors like Boss Toyo.
