Way before his continuous successful stints in hosting, Drew Arellano was first an actor.
He starred in the youth-oriented series Click with JC de Vera, Bianca King, Valerie Concepcion, Mark Herras, Jennylyn Mercado, Yasmien Kurdi, and Rainier Castillo, among others.
It may have been a long time ago but he has vivid memories of the experience and couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
“Natatawa lang ako sa sarili ko kasi [kapag] naaalala ko 'yun. Natatawa ako sa sarili ko kasi alam kong hindi ko baluarte 'yun,” he said.
The host of Biyahe ni Drew, AHA!, and Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban has gladly found his niche and shared how he knew from the beginning that his friend JC de Vera was made for acting.
”Si JC, kasama ko 'yan [sa Click] eh. Nakita ko [na] si JC talaga was made for acting. I mean, kanya kanya rin 'yan eh,” he added.
Though he laughs at his experience in being an actor, he is deeply grateful for the life-changing opportunity as he did not only gain an experience, but also met the love of his life.
“If I can get anything from acting, that’s where I met my wife. Nag-click kami eh,” he laughingly remarked.
