Kelvin Miranda on comparisons with Daniel Padilla, being labeled 'maangas'

Kelvin Miranda is aware that he is being compared to Daniel Padilla.

In the latest episode of "Your Honor," the Sparkle star addressed criticism that he is copying his fellow actor and that he is "maangas."

"Hindi ko naman siya ginagaya, tol. Kumbaga, siguro parte na 'to ng kinalakihan ko kasi 'di naman ako lumaki sa mayamang pamilya eh, may gintong kutsara sa bibig, sa street talaga," Kelvin said.

"Dun kasi ako nanggaling, so baka hindi sanay 'yung tao na hindi ako masyadong proper gumalaw," he added.

Kelvin also shared his thoughts on being compared to Daniel.

"Hindi ko naman sinasabing hindi siya compliment, hindi ko rin naman siya tine-take as a compliment, kasi alam naman natin sa showbiz na kailangan may sarili kang identity. Hindi pu-pwedeng pare-parehas, hahanapin mo talaga kung para san 'yung sarili mo," Kelvin said.

Meanwhile, he explained that he probably appears "maangas" because of his poor vision.

"Hindi ako sanay na nagko-contact lens. So 'pag may tao akong nakakasalubong, tapos parang kilala ko siya, parang naaninag mo na kilala mo siya. Titignan mo talaga siya na mag-squint 'yung mata mo. So sa ganung way, madalas akong [mapagsabihan na] 'ang angas mo tumingin ah,'" Kelvin said.

Kelvin said he now makes it a habit to always look down and avoid eye contact to prevent misinterpretation.

"Kalmado lang naman ako eh. Kaya lang s'yempre, nung 'di pa 'ko aware sa bagay na 'yun, na-mi-misinterpret talaga," he said.

Kelvin recently starred in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Adamus, the son of Alena and keeper of the Brilyante ng Tubig. —Nika Roque/MGP, GMA News
