Aside from his desire to be paired with the actress someday, he likewise shared that one of his dream roles is Scottish actor James McAvoy's character in 2016 American psychological horror-thriller film Split.
“The person there has a multiple personality [disorder] disease, and I would love to portray that kind of role,” he added.
Before landing his dream role, Brent is among the star-studded cast of GMA Network's upcoming drama, which is coined as the first Muslim series in Philippine TV titled Legal Wives starring Dennis Trillo, Alice Dixson, Andrea Torres, and Bianca Umali.
“I did a research about the Maranao culture, and we did a swab test and followed health protocols before, during, and after the taping,” Brent said of his preparation ahead of the show's lock-in taping.
Legal Wives follows the story of Ishmael (Dennis), a Muslim Maranao royalty who will marry not one but three beautiful women named Amirah (Alice), Diane (Andrea), and Farrah (Bianca).
