Alden Richards preparing for upcoming medical drama series ‘Code Gray’

Alden Richards is booked and busy as he balances sports with his showbiz work.

According to Nelson Canlas’ report on “24 Oras” on Wednesday, Alden is not just preparing for a big race next year, but for his lead role on the upcoming Kapuso medical drama series, “Code Gray.”

“Pre-production is being done right now, so magkakaroon siguro kami ng storycon very soon,” he said.

“And most probably, middle of the year, start na ng grind,” he added.

Alden is set to play a doctor in the series.

Moreover, Alden spilled the beans on what else is to come on “Stars on the Floor” Season 2.

“Papalapit na nang papalapit din kung sino ba talaga ‘yung mapipili nating Ultimate Dance Star Duo,” Alden said, adding that the scores in the leaderboards would be crucial.

“Abangan niyo, maraming plot twists na mangyayari dito sa ‘Stars on the Floor’ dahil sobrang gagaling lahat ng mga duos na napapanood niyo every Sunday,” Asia’s Multimedia Star added.

Alden is also grateful for the triathlon relay race he recently joined in Davao City.

Aside from the heat, Alden said he struggled with the wind.

“During the last 10 kilometers, gusto ko nang mag-give up eh, kasi bumibigay na ‘yung katawan ko, bumibigay na rin ‘yung legs dahil sa pagod at init,” Alden said. “But sabi ko, either one, ‘di ko siya tatapusin tapos di-di-disappoint ko ‘yung mga taong naniwala sa ‘kin and most especially I would disappoint myself." 

“Or, I would finish it, bibigay ko lahat, I will empty the tank, and make everyone proud and happy of all the efforts I’ve done to be able to finish the race. So syempre, dun tayo sa positive, kaya tinapos natin nang ganun," he added
