ANG maging isang piloto ang pangarap noon ni Alden Richards. Kaya lang naudlot ito simula noong pasukin na niya ang showbiz.
“Piloto talaga, is always been a dream,” deklara pa niya. “Pero now, na my field of work is acting, medyo I’m looking also at the possibility of directing as well.
“Kasi parang I’ve lived my 10 years in showbiz acting in front (of the camera). I’m doing my job in front of the camera, so parang it’s a very interesting angle also to do things behind the camera,” dugtong pa ni Alden.
Nagbigay rin ng dahilan ang Kapuso hunk actor na bida ng teleseryeng The Gift ng GMA-7 kung bakit gusto niyang pasukin ang pagdidirek.
“I’d like to know how is it working with an actor, with the staff, with your team. And parang the writer writes the story, visualize and creates the concept of the story but the director gives life to the story along with the actors,” lahad ni Alden.
Nakangiting patuloy ng aktor, “Parang nai-imagine ko minsan ‘yung ako yung magse-set-up, I call the shots, I motivate actors, kasi I’m so inlove with the craft, I’m so in love with acting and I want to share it to a lot of people at do’n sa mga tao na really wanted to do acting as well.
“Parang mas mabibigyan lang ako ng authority to coach someone of I’m a director and not a co-actor coz I don’t usually give instructions to people specially ‘pag we’re on the same level – actor to actor. But if you’re a director, that’s a different story. ‘Pag director to actor conversation, you can give advice, pointers and instructions to them.”
Nagbigay rin ng tips si Alden kung paano niya hina-handle ang pressure.
“All of us have jobs everyday. All of us deal with lot of pressure everyday, stress and parang ang tip ko lang is really to enjoy what you’re doing. Find the joy within what you’re doing kasi minsan, hindi naman lahat, pero ‘yung ilan sa atin that’s what we lack, eh, to find something beautiful in what we do.
“So para hindi ma-pressure at para ma-enjoy natin yung mga bagay na ginagawa natin araw-araw it’s always about looking at the beautiful side of it – the beauty within what we’re doing and being relax about all the situations that’s coming our way,” pagbabahagi ng aktor.
Dapat din daw na i-enjoy lang natin ang buhay dahil maigsi lang ito.
“Let’s enjoy life kasi sobrang igsi ng buhay and life is very unexpected. Today masaya ka, kinabukasan you’re devastated and dapat walang room for negative thinking sa buhay. Parang hindi dapat ini-encourage ‘yon kasi hindi natin alam kung ano ang mangyayari the next days, weeks or years to come.
“Hindi masyadong nag-iisip ng mga bagay na hindi pa naman nangyayari. Huwag din masyadong pessimistic. I-enjoy ang buhay dahil napakasarap mabuhay, napakasayang mabuhay,” sambit pa ng aktor.
Si Alden ang celebrity endorser ng Embassy Whisky na nagkaroon ng launching kamakailan lang. Tinanggap ng aktor ang maging liquor endorser bilang bahagi ng kanyang pagbabagong image.
“Well, of course, I’m of age naman na rin, I’m 28 na and parang it’s alright to be an ambassador of a liquor as long as you promote drinking in a moderate manner naman.
“Hindi na rin talaga ako nagdalawang isip to say yes to a liquor endorsement this year kasi hindi naman tayo pabata. And at the same time, I’m also a whisky drinker whenever I have parties, ganyan. It’s really for something new na rin for me this 2020. I’m always looking forward din to be part of new families that’s why I said yes to this,” rason pa ng aktor
