Kapamilya star Joshua Garcia revealed that there was a time in his career in which he felt that he became boastful.
The 23-year-old actor made the revelation in a Youtube vlog of his fellow Kapamilya artist, Enchong Dee.
The said Youtube video premiered last January 22, in which Joshua and Enchong talked about their work, finances, and life in general.
In the video, Enchong asked Joshua if he ever felt that he became boastful at the height of his love team with Julia Barretto.
“Feeling mo yumabang ka?” Enchong asked.
Joshua admitted that his fame went over his said saying, “May dumating na point na yumabang ako.”
“’Yun ‘yung time na parang feeling ko, hindi ako ‘yun,” he continued.
Enchong also admitted that he felt like he was able to witness that certain point in Joshua’s career. He explained that the young actor would act differently compared to how he first started in the showbiz industry.
“I feel like nakita ko ‘yung part na ‘yun. Weirdong weirdo kami kay Joshua Garcia. Kasi nakita ko siya sa ‘PBB.’ Tapos nakita ko ‘yung difference nung kasagsagan ng love team niyo ni Julia. Dumadating sa rehearsal, naka-shades, ‘yung parang John Lloyd Cruz,” said Enchong.
Joshua rose to fame in 2016 with his critically acclaimed performance in the top-grosser Vince and Kath and James and in the primetime series The Good Son. His acting skills gained recognition from the netizens in which they tagged him as the ‘next John Lloyd Cruz.’
Joshua explained himself saying that he did feel that he became overconfident with his fame but not to the point that he would compare himself to John Lloyd. He said that the change in his attitude was brought about by the relationship he had at the time.
“May time na yumabang ako pero hindi ko naman inisip na parang next John Lloyd. Hindi ko alam, kasi every time nagkakaroon ako ng relationship, nag-iiba talaga ako,” he said.
Enchong further explained that he is happy that Joshua was able to realize that he is becoming a bit boastful and was able to adjust himself.
“Hindi kasi natin mararamdaman na yumabang talaga tayo. It’s always other people that will see it and will feel it. Because I see you now, mas ikaw ito. Mas relax ka. ‘Yung natural and very light Joshua,” said Enchong.
“But I am happy that you know that it happened to you and you know that you need to adjust,” he added.
Aside from ‘The Good Son’, Joshua Garcia also starred in several hit Kapamilya series such as The Greatest Love (2016), Ngayon at Kailanman (2018), and The Killer Bride (2019).
He also starred in different films with his former onscreen partner and girlfriend, Julia Barretto, like Love You to the Stars and Back (2017), I Love You, Hater (2018), and Block Z (2020).
