The Kapamilya actor is the first ever Filipino celebrity to become the brand ambassador of the American clothing line.
Having been one of the most sought-after celebrities in the country for more than a decade now, Daniel Padilla has already held several sold-out concerts in major venues like Araneta Coliseum. Thousands of his fans have already met him and his real-life partner, Kathryn Padilla, in fan meetings and showbiz appearances.
That said, Padilla could not help but get thrilled at seeing fans in big numbers again.
He noted of the crowd he met at the Mossimo. “It was wild kasi everyone was so excited to go out. Bumabalik na yung mga nga events and kanina, everyone was just excited na magkita-kita lahat nang personal. Pero siyempre hindi pa rin puwedeng mawala yung safety natin and everyone was wearing masks. Namiss ko rin yung pakiramdam na ‘yun na makita uli yung mga tao.”
Padilla is the first Filipino celebrity to endorse the American clothing company, which was founded in 1986. During the press conference, he emphasized the importance of maintaining his style and identity when working with various brands. He stated that it was the reason he accepted Mossimo’s offer in the first place.
The actor shared, “Isa pang rason kung bakit ako na-excite sa Mossimo is, they are open for collaborations. Importante sa akin ‘yun kasi I have my own style, hindi ba? Kasi for me kung kukunin man ako ng isang endorsement o isang brand, I think kukunin nila ako because of myself, hindi ba? Ayaw ko lang ‘yung kukunin ako, tapos babaguhin ‘yung imahe ko. That’s why nagustuhan ko ang Mossimo.”
The actor revealed that he would be doing movies and a TV show next year. However, he noted his need to take a short break, before returning back to work next year.
