Padilla and his love team partner, Kathryn Bernardo, are often compared by fans to Reid and his on-screen leading lady, Nadine Lustre.
"Wala, wala namang ilangan. Kapwa nating artista 'yan. Kaibigan natin 'yan," said Padilla on the sidelines of the press conference of his upcoming series with Bernardo, the remake of the hit soap "Pangako Sa 'Yo," which will debut on May 25.
Padilla went on to say that he considers Reid a friend, saying that they have worked together for Star Magic shows.
"Magkaibigan kami ni James. Talagang dati pa... magkaibigan na kami," he said.
In a previous interview, Reid said he hopes to have the opportunity work with Padilla and Bernardo, a highly popular love team in local show business.
