WATCH: Enrique Gil returns to acting via comedy flick 'I Am Not Big Bird'

MANILA, Philippines — After four years of hiatus, Enrique Gil surprised his fans with the release of the trailer for his upcoming starrer "I Am Not Big Bird." 

Last seen on the 2020 nightly series "Make It With You" with perennial screen partner Liza Soberano, Gil's big screen return shows the actor portraying a guy who is mistaken for an adult star named Big Bird while on a trip with his friends in Thailand. 

The film, set for release on Valentine's Day, February 14, also stars Pepe Herrera, Red Ollero and Nikko Natividad.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Gil said "I Am Not Big Bird" is an ode to '90s comedy. 

"'Yan ang nakaka-miss sa '90s comedies. We wanted to bring it back. We wanted to deliver it," he said.

The release of his movie comes right after the release of Soberano's debut Hollywood starrer, "Lisa Frankenstein," which will be screened in Philippine theaters on February 7.
