AS the release date for his romantic comedy movie “‘Tol” with Jessy Mendiola draws near, Arjo Atayde couldn’t help but feel thankful for the chance to finally be in a lead role after seven years of being in the industry.
In an Instagram post last Jan. 14, the 26-year-old actor admitted he is happy to finally be able to do a non-villain role and step up to the challenge of trying a very different genre this year. “‘Tol” opens in cinemas starting Jan. 30.
“All my life, I’ve always dreamt of being a comedian! To be honest, di ko alam kung paano ako napunta sa drama at action Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful, grateful, and blessed to have had the opportunity to do such roles. After 7 years of concentrating on being a villain in drama or action, who would’ve thought that my first lead role in a movie would be comedy?” Atayde wrote. (Push)
