On December 21, actor-comedian Empoy Marquez reacted to getting called the ‘Ultimate Leading Man.’
At the media conference for ‘My Zombabe,’ which LionhearTV covered, Marquez thanked those who considered him the ‘Ultimate Leading Man.’
“Para po sa akin, hindi ko nga po alam kung saan galing ‘yun, pero–ang hirap kasi dito kay Direk Bobby. Pero ‘yung Ultimate Leadingman, ay thank you sa lahat ng mga naniniwala at sumusuporta mula noong ako ay nag-umpisa hanggang sa kasalukuyan. ‘Yun po. Asahan ninyo po na pagbubutihan ko ang pagtratrabaho ko.”
He then clarified that he doesn’t let pressure get to him with his newly found leading man status.
“Wala po, kasi lahat ng proyektong ginagawa ko is lagi kong iniisip na ano lang na pang-araw-araw na buhay. Totoo ganon lang. Enjoyin mo lalo na ‘yung mga project mo, ginagawa mong trabaho, kasi kapag nagkaroon ka ng pressure, mayroon diyang tendency na ma-rattle ka, something ganon, kabahan. So enjoy lang.”
Marquez gained the leading man status after working in the widely celebrated movie ‘Kita-Kita’ with Alessandra de Rossi in 2017.
