On April 28, Viva actor Sean de Guzman admitted that he felt proud of getting recognition in acting.
At the media conference for Fall Guy, which LionhearTV covered, de Guzman attested how hard he worked for his career in acting.
“Nakakatuwa and nakaka-proud sa sarili ko na ‘yung lahat ng mga pinaghirapan ko dito sa pelikulang ‘to at sa mga previous projects ko, na kumbaga nagsisimula ng kumbaga ma-recognize, nagsisimula ng mapansin ng tao.
“Siyempre, ibang level ‘yung pakiram na’yun na parang hinahangaan ka ng ibang tao.”
He then maintained his mindset in taking in the praises and recognition.
“Pero siyempre, nasa sa’yo ‘yan kung paano mo ite-take ‘yun, kung paano mo i-aabsorb sa sarili mo.”
He also shared how he remained humble despite his fast-track success as an actor.
“Ako naman po, lagi ko namang iniisip na palaging kailangan still learning, kailangan matuto pa rin kahit marami tayong nare-receive na papuri.
“And huwag nating ilalagay sa ulo kasi kapag nilagay natin sa ulo ‘yung ganong papuri, lalaki ‘yung ulo, magiging kampante ka, parang sa next movie mo, parang iisipin mo, ah kaya mo na ‘yan. Magaling na ako. So lagi kong iniisip na hindi pa rin ako magaling para mayroon pa rin akong mailabas, para may mapapatunayan pa rin akos a taong nanonood sa akin.”
De Guzman won best actor awards at the Chithiram International Film Festival in India and the Anatolian Film Awards sa Turkey in 2022.
