Alden Richards wants Joshua Garcia to portray his life story on 'Magpakailanman'

Alden Richards already has his eye on an actor who should portray him if he ever gets another biopic of his own, and it's none other than Joshua Garcia.

In a virtual press conference, Alden said, “Uy, si Joshua Garcia nasa GMA na. Bakit hindi siya, diba?”

It’s been 10 years since Alden's life story was first featured on “Magpakailanman” and so much has changed.

If his story was to be featured again, Alden said he wants a feel-good, inspirational episode this time around.

“['Yung] life story ko when we were kids, mahirap po kami, 'yung condition po ng mom ko, 'yung towards her deathbed," Alden said. "Tapos 'yung nag-start po ako maging artista, etcetera. Gusto ko po sanang maging highlight naman kung sakaling magkaka part two is I want the episode to be a feel good episode yet inspirational.”

“Syempre, sa journey naman po ng buhay, hindi naman lahat nagiging masarap ang journey," he added. "In every good, there’s always a bad. And in every bad, there’s always a good.”

The actor was also asked whom he would want to play on “Magpakailanman.” Alden took a while to come up with an answer, but then said, “Si FLG? Si Mr. Gozon.”

He added with a smile and laugh, “Portray natin ang buhay ni Mr. Gozon kung papayag po si boss.”

Alden is all set for a month-long guesting on “Magpakailanman” in August, wherein he will be portraying four diverse roles.

“Magpakailanman” airs every Saturday at 8:15 p.m. on GMA Network, and is livestreamed on GMANetwork.com, GMA Network’s YouTube channel, and “#MPK’s” Facebook and TikTok pages. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
