Liza Soberano & H.E.R. on Their Friendship & Karaoke Duet in the Philippines (Exclusive)

H.E.R., Liza Soberano and Dave Franco dished on their new animated adventure “Forgotten Island.” 

“Extra” spoke with the three about the movie, which focuses on the fear of losing friendships.

H.E.R. personally connected with the movie, saying, “I experienced that with my best friend because we went to different schools at one point in our lives. At one point, I moved away very far and it was challenging to see each other and there would be long amounts of time that we didn’t get to hang out or even talk. When we would come back together, it would be like nothing ever changed and we would just pick up right where we left off. That’s how I knew we’d be best friends for forever.”

In the movie, H.E.R. and Liza’s characters have a close friendship, but they didn’t get much time to build chemistry!

Liza explained, “We actually didn’t really have the opportunity to because everything kind of just came together along so quickly. Like I auditioned, I did a callback audition and then I found out that that was like my first session. We were fortunate enough to have two sessions together… We got to really like talk to each other for the first time."

They’ve gotten closer during the press tour with Liza noting, “We traveled to the Philippines together.”

According to H.E.R., “It’s all the in-between moments that have really made us form, like, a real friendship.”

H.E.R. and Liza also dished on their new original song “BRB,” which is featured in the film. 

Liza shared, “We were singing to it on the karaoke machine in the Philippines.”

As for Dave’s role in the film, he plays a weredog named Raww, but he's more of a cat guy in real life!

Dave stressed, “People always try to pit cat people against dog people. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Like, yeah, I've grown up with cats, I have an affinity towards cats, but I love dogs. Who doesn't love dogs?"

He added, "It's more about just like making sure that cats aren't fully vilified in pop culture. Typically, when they're in an animated movie, they are the villain." He called out the Latvian animated movie "Flow," noting, "The cat is the hero, and it won and Oscar because it told the truth about cats. They're the hero."

H.E.R. agreed, "Cats get bad PR and its not fair."
