Alden still VP Binay's choice to portray him in biopic


Kapuso actor Alden Richards is still Vice President Jejomar Binay’s top choice to portray him in a biopic.

The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) standard-bearer made the pronouncement anew in a radio interview on Wednesday.

"Sana yung ngayong lumalabas sa Yaya AlDub," Binay said when asked who he wanted to play him in the movie.

Alden is the other half of the phenomenal AlDub love team on GMA-7’s noontime show, Eat Bulaga.

Binay had said two months ago that he was eyeing Alden to portray his life should a movie be made about him.

But Alden's involvement in politics is a long shot, with the heartthrob previously declaring that he wasn't interested in endorsing anyone.

"Ako po, personally, I really don’t want to endorse po," he said. "Iba po 'tong showbiz sa politics. I don't wanna mix it po."

Senator Vicente Sotto III, a longtime Eat Bulaga host, had also shut down any possibility of the AlDub love team to be campaigning for any candidate in the 2016 elections. —Kathrina Charmaine Alvarez/JST, GMA News
