It was also revealed during the recent Kapamilya trade launch that Matteo is the new game master for Biggest Loser Doubles, which he will co-host with Iza Calzado. “It’s my dream show dati pa kasi it’s all about fitness and helping people become more conscious about their lifestyle. I want to help spread the word about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating right, and working out.”
When asked how he feels now that he’s in the frontline in terms of celebrity athletes, the 23-year-old maintained that it was just timely that he has been very active in sports. “Hindi naman frontliner. Basta nandun ako. I love triathlon. Marami akong natutunan dun about myself, about my body, and nutrition. I want to encourage everyone that it’s not just about being physically fit but the discipline and other values that you learn from it.”
Matteo further shared that he’s set to star in a new teleserye with a female lead whom he previously worked with. However, he couldn’t disclose details about the project yet. In the meantime, he’s busy shooting a new indie film. “It’s my second indie film. It’s about a kid from Laguna that gets kidnapped and has his organ taken away. It’s an advocacy to stop organ trafficking.”
With all the new projects coming his way, Matteo claimed that his love life has to take a backseat for now. As it is, he’s still tight-lipped about the real score between him and former Paraiso co-star Jessy Mendiola. “Ok naman. She’s working on something new. Nagkikita lang kami ‘pag libre time namin. We’re friends. We see each other. Basta masaya kaming dalawa.”
