Even her close friends, model Georgina Wilson and actress-model Solenn Heussaff, also revealed on Twitter that they consider Norton as their top favorite actor.

Georgina and Solenn along with friends, TV host Raymond Gutierrez and actress Carla Humphries, were reportedly scene-stealers at the shoot, as some people wondered why they were there and thought they're part of the film as "extras".

Some other Filipino celebrities who also admitted on Twitter that they're a fan of Edward Norton are Jason Abalos, Glaiza de Castro, Paulo Avelino, Megan and Lauren Young, Saab Magalona, Biboy Ramirez, Karen delos Reyes, Patty Laurel and Mo Twister.
