Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards proved to be a good sport as he gamely recreated a meme of himself.

The meme stemmed from a portrait of Alden where he is seen touching his forehead and sticking his tongue out.

The humorous pose gave birth to a lot of imitations online, which eventually went viral.

Alden did not shy away from making fun of himself as he recreated his viral pose in different intensities to rate several Filipino dishes.

Adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, dinuguan, pinakbet, and sisig got the full tongue-out reaction while lechon, pancit, tinola, and bulalo got the more demure rating.

Meanwhile, Alden is making his directorial debut in upcoming courtroom film Out of Order.

The movie is about a tangled web of broken dreams, strained relationships and deep-rooted corruption as a struggling young lawyer reluctantly defends his estranged father, a renowned lawyer accused of murder. As he takes on the case, he crosses paths again with an ex-girlfriend who is now a brilliant public prosecutor.

Alden topbills the film, alongside veteran actor Nonie Buencamino and actress Heaven Peralejo.

Out of Order is a co-production of Alden's very own multimedia company Myriad Corporation and Viva Films.

It is set to be part of the 3rd Da Nang Asian Film Festival which will be held in Vietnam from June 29 to July 5.

As the director, producer, and lead star of the movie, Alden admitted to feeling very emotional when he got the news that it will be part of an international film festival.

"Umiyak ako niyan in secret when I got the news. They were very glad to know na ito 'yung very first directorial job ko. It's a newbie director and they're a fan of that. Gustung gusto nila 'yung new blood. Hopefully sana, kahit papano, manalo tayo ng award," Alden shared.

On television, Alden will be hosting the upcoming dance competition Stars on the Floor which is set to premiere on June 28.
