Alden Richards is the hottest male celebrity of 2015 and he doesn’t need an award to affirm that. One only needs to look at his jampacked mall shows, record-breaking albums, magazine covers, and product endorsements, as proof of his stardom.
The Pambansang Bae is at the top of his game. His team up with Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza as the other half of AlDub, has pushed his career to uncharted territories.
Is there anything more that he could wish for?
By now, most people know that Alden Richards got into showbiz upon the prodding of his mom, who wanted him to become an actor. Alden wanted to be a pilot but pursued acting upon his mother’s death.
He got his break in 2011 when GMA launched him as one of the leading men in the drama series, Alakdana. He became a GMA Artist since then and signed a five-year contract with the network. From then on, he was featured in several tv series and won awards and critical acclaim for his acting skills.
In an episode of “Magpakailanman” in 2013, Alden Richards said that all he wished for was to fulfill his mother’s dream for him. At that time, he said that wish had been granted. He said the same thing in the 2015 replay when he was being interviewed by Mel Tiangco. Alden reiterated that he was doing everything for his mom and his loved ones.
Alden Richards said in that Magpakailanman episode that he sacrificed his love life for his career. In his past interviews, he always said that his priorities only include his family, career, and God. He said having a love life will only distract him.
But now that he is successful in his career, could Alden Richards still see love as a distraction?
With the rise of the AlDub love team, Alden Richards is singing a different tune. In his interviews with the press, he is saying that it’s possible that he and Maine Mendoza can be a real item in the future.
Recently, people are noticing that Alden Richards is not just acting anymore. When he broke down and cried while singing God Gave Me You to Maine Mendoza on September 26, a lot of people felt that his feelings for Maine had deepened more than he cares to admit.
In the Kalyeserye segment of Eat Bulaga, he often sings his hit single “Wish I May” to Maine Mendoza. The lyrics of the song indicate a guy’s wish to express his love and to “find a way to your heart.”. It is obvious by the way he sings it every time to Maine, that he was wishing for that, too.
Last October 24, Alden hugged Maine Mendoza and cried while he was hugging her tightly. Maine, for her part, was very emotional too. And with that tight embrace, Alden has fulfilled his wish. He has expressed what he felt, and more importantly, he might have found a way to Maine Mendoza’s heart.
