Cruz took a major hiatus from his showbiz projects after his 2017 film Finally Found Someone with Sarah Geronimo. According to him in his November 2020 interview with Boy Abunda, the demands of his line of work can be draining, and as a creator, he wants to give his viewers something worthy of their time.
