John Lloyd Cruz, set to appear in GMA soon?

It seems like John Lloyd Cruz, after almost five years of staying away from the limelight, is going to stage a comeback so strong it would rock the entire entertainment industry.

The award-winning actor, who made showbiz headlines recently when he inked a contract with fellow artist Maja Salvador's newly minted talent management agency, Crown Artist Management (CAM), was seen in what appears to be a meeting with Wowowin host Willie Revillame.

This is not the first time John Lloyd sat down with Willie since he left showbiz.

In the May 19 episode of Wowowin, Willie narrated he and John Lloyd had a heart-to-heart in Puerto Galera, “Gusto ko lang batiin 'yung kaibigan nating si John Lloyd. Kagabi kasama ko siya, nasa Puerto Galera kami. Nagkuwentuhan kami sa buhay. Tinanong ko siya, 'Bakit ka ba huminto?' Maganda 'yung mga rason niya eh.

“'Burnout ka na. Ito na lang po ginagawa ko araw-araw. 'Pag gising ko, shooting. 'Pag tulog ko, 'pag gising ko, shooting.' 'Yun bang binigyan niya ng halaga 'yung sarili niya. Dapat ganyan din tayo eh.”

Could this be a hint that John Lloyd Cruz, the once-elusive actor, whom everybody thought has completely left showbiz behind, will make his long-overdue comeback with the Kapuso Network?

The 37-year-old's last big project was in 2017 when he did a movie with Sarah Geronimo. He then shocked everyone when he suddenly took an indefinite leave of absence from the entertainment industry in October 2017. The public later learned that he had chosen to lead a private life with fellow actress Ellen Adarna, with whom he has a son named Elias.

Will John Lloyd just make occasional appearances in Wowowin, or will he go back to doing full-on teleseryes?

While this photo may yield more questions than answers, it makes one undeniable statement: John Lloyd is back and the Kapuso network is ready to welcome him.
