The BL actor revealed his top crushes in local showbiz during his exclusive interview with PUSH. “Si Robi Domingo, Ryan Agoncillo, and Drew Arellano. Crush ko sila ever since I first saw them on TV!! Because what’s not to love?” he said.To other aspiring artists especially from the LGBTQ community, Adrian shared his humble advice. “To be good to people. To be clear with your goals. To keep pushing, especially on the hardest days. And to never stop learning about your craft!” he added.
