One of GMA Network’s top leading men Alden Richards attended the opening night of the Hanoi International Film Festival last November 23 where he represented the short film ‘Kinabukasan’.
Under the helm of Director Adolfo Alix Jr, ‘Kinabukasan’ is topbilled by the Superstar of Philippine cinema, Nora Aunor and Kapuso Network’s Prime Leading Man, Alden Richards. It is a story about reconciliation, forgiveness, and accomplishing unfinished business. Kinabukasan is nominated under the short film category.
In an interview, Alden shared that his experience acting with Ms. Nora Aunor was fun yet very challenging. “Siya ‘yung epitome ng perfect acting eh. Natural na natural. Alam mo na ‘yung mga words na ginagamit niya ay galing sa puso talaga. Sobrang nag-enjoy talaga ako na nakatrabaho ko siya at mas lalong nadagdagan ang self-confidence ko dahil nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makatrabaho ang nag-iisang Superstar.”
He added that he’s proud to represent the country in an international film festival. “It’s such a blessing to experience attending this film festival. I was able to meet the stars and directors from different countries at paniguradong isa ito sa highlights ng aking career bilang isang aktor. The experience inspires me to do more and be the best that I can be.”
Also, Alden was featured in a Vietnamese entertainment website www.ngoisao.net wherein they referred Alden as “Diễn viên nổi tiếng của” or Philippines’ Famous Actor.
Alden is currently the host of Bet ng Bayan and one of the mainstays of Sunday All Stars.
