While many fans felt disheartened about Alden being a solo artist, he said that being in a love team isn’t really necessary to be successful in showbiz.
“Minsan hindi talaga kailangang nasa isang love team ang tao,” Alden told entertainment reporters at the official launch of his athleisure collection “Avel x Alden.”
He cited that he and former Kapuso celebrity Louise Delos Reyes met relative success way back in 2012 through the romance drama One True Love.
“That was also successful and hindi kami in real life,” Alden added.
For him, the use of God-given talents and the quality of a series or a film’s story are the things that matter the most to hook the audience.
“Naniniwala po ako na kapag mahusay at maganda ang materyal, doon kakapit ang manunuod,” he said.
Alden continues to receive praises and attention from the online world for Hello, Love, Goodbye which many believe saved him from the setbacks of his acting career. After being mocked and criticized online, the film has paved the way for him to rise up again and gather new fans.
