Last week, the actor announced his upcoming comedy film “I Am Not Big Bird,” sharing the screen with a personally handpicked cast. Now with this new role, he plans to bring creative events and content too!
“Even if we are no longer there and I don’t have to perform, I’m still giving entertainment to the fans in my own way,” he told ABS-CBN. “Even if I’m no longer able to work with my physical body, I’m still providing content. Not only to the fans, but to my colleagues in the industry, for future artists, for international acts, or just to connect the fan with their idols. That’s the legacy we want to leave.”
