DARREN Espanto is joining the cast of the upcoming Star Cinema movie, “The Hows of Us,” which stars Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.
The singer will play the younger brother of Bernardo’s character.
Espanto revealed his delight over his new role, saying that he’s “happy” and “honored” to be part of the movie.
This is his first film role.
He rose to fame as part of “The Voice Kids”, and went on to become one of the brightest young acts in the music scene.
Espanto previously expressed that he wants to try his hand at acting and acknowledged that he would like to work with Bernardo, as the actress is his biggest celebrity crush.
Described as a light romance, “The Hows of Us,” under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Molina, follows the relationship of Primo (Padilla) and George (Bernardo) over a long period, and tackles the challenges partners in long-term relationships face.
Specifically, according to Padilla, it will explore the apparent tendency of the younger generation to easily give up or lose interest, when it comes to a job or a relationship.
By the actor’s admission, he and Bernardo can easily relate to the topic of “The Hows of Us,” as they, too, are in a long-term relationship that has gone through highs and lows. (ABS-CBN News)
