Matagal na rin ako sa industriya. It’s been a while na rin so para sa akin gusto ko na rin mag-try ng bagong stuff.“Before nung nasa PBB pa ako hindi pa ako marunong mag-Tagalog and stuff like that least now, hindi naman ako super dire-diretso ang Tagalog pero at least Taglish kayang kaya ko na. There can be more acting experiences that I can try. “Yung last na acting ko was in <a href='https://ent.abs-cbn.com/lovethywoman'>Love Thy Woman</a>. Unfortunately, that was right before the pandemic and things had to change.

Someday. Maybe. A Filipino homegrown artist can be on a big, big screen in Hollywood. That would be a dream come true for everyone I think,” he said.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/12/13/fresh-scoops/5-interesting-facts-about-pbb-connect-host-rich-190352'>READ: 5 Interesting Facts about ‘PBB: Connect’ host Richard Juan aka ‘Online Oppa ni Kuya’</a>Dubbed as the ‘Online Oppa ni Kuya’ when he hosted PBB Connect this year, Richard said he would love to do a local remake of the K-drama series ‘Start-Up’ if given the chance.“Definitely Start-Up.

So I want to play the role na ganun na you are the underdog pero people are rooting for you, parang ganun. Hopefully, team good boy kasi,” he added.
