Baron maintained that he is good friends with Kiko and highlighted how the latter would even spend some nights in his home and celebrated his birthday with them.

“Nung time na kami ni Kiko Matos–– I was hanging out in UP ng madalas. We did a special project called Beast Mode, a social experiment. Nag premiere kami sa Amsterdam so nine months ako naka in character to be as crazy as possible,” he recalled.

Included in the nine months was the orchestrated bar fight he had with his fellow actor.

He admitted how he had animosity with the government at that time due to the extra judicial killings (EJK) that were happening then.

Baron revealed in the same interview that he was also getting illegal dr&gs from police officers in the past which fueled his disdain with the EJKs that were being heavily publicized by the media.

“Anti-government kasi ako nung time na yun eh. Yung pinagkuhanan ko ng dr&gs before galing din sa mga police ng time na yun. Nung nag kakaroon ng EJK, I was getting mad about the killings kasi nag papalit ulo yung mga tao,” he shared.
