Hiro Peralta is still overwhelmed on whats happening in his career as he portrays a lead role and the love interest of Kris Bernal for GMA Network’s new drama series “Little Nanay” with “Philippine cinema’s Superstar,” Nora Aunor.
“Little Nanay” is the first leading man role for Hiro Peralta and he feels blessed to work with the Superstar Nora Aunor.
In an interview, Hiro expressed, “I feel blessed na sabihin at tawaging ako ang leading man ni Kris dito sa Little Nanay at honored na sa akin ibinigay ng GMA Network ang karakter ni Archie. Hindi ko palalampasin ang chance na ito.”
On previous interviews, Hiro admitted that Kris Bernal is his long time crush.
He will be portraying the role of Archie, Tinay’s (Kris Bernal) childhood friend and the father of her unexpected pregnancy during her teenage years. This is a challenging role for Hiro as he portrays a young man that suddenly became a father but still unsure of what he likes and not ready for any responsibilities.
Hiro said that he felt nervous during his first scene with the Superstar Nora Aunor, but later on he becomes comfortable and at ease around her.
“Ang kinabahan lang po ako ay no’ng si Ate Guy ang nakaeksena ko. Kasi first time ko po siyang makatrabaho. Pero sa sunod na taping day namin, okey na. At ease na ako. ‘Yong pinakahuling eksena namin ni Ate Guy, ‘yong nalaman niya na nabuntis ko si Kris na apo niya. Sinugod niya ako sa bahay at iiyak ako in front of her. At first, hirap akong umiyak. Pero natatangay ako at napaiyak na rin nang ibinato na ni Ate Guy ‘yong line niya”.
The young actor admits that he previously suffered from depression and had thoughts of giving up his show business career until he is given a chance to star in “Pari Koy.”
“Pari Koy opened my eyes na hindi lahat ng eksena kailangan mong magpa-cute at na-realize ko ring mali ang approach ko sa career ko. Wrong approach pala ang ginagawa ko, ngayon mas positive na ako at up ang motivation ko. Gusto kong maayos na ang career ko at gusto ko maging katulad nina Nora Aunor, Bembol Roco at Eddie Garcia,” Hiro Peralta added.
