- Ken Chan will not have a problem playing a father role.
- He also believed that playing a parent will not reduce his charisma as an actor.
- The actor accepted the father role wholeheartedly the moment it was offered to him.
Ken Chan admits that his role in My Special Tatay is the most challenging so far in his career, but he is confident he can play the role well.
This might be the first time he will be playing a father role in a series but that doesn’t mean he knows nothing about being one.
The actor explained, “Ako po kasi first time kong maging tatay sa isang teleserye, pero kasi sa totoong buhay hilig ko po talaga ang bata kaya hindi po malaki ang adjustment ko pagdating sa kapag ka-eksena ko po yung baby.”
Ken doesn’t believe that playing a young father will hurt his “TV heartthrob” image.
“Kaya naman po tatay yung role ko dito, yun ang pinaka-core ng istorya. Ito ay about sa mga ama, tatay, daddy, papa, lolo, tito, about sa may mga anak.
“Wala pong problema sa akin na magiging ama sa istorya lalo na sa story ng My Special Tatay.
“Noong nabasa ko po at in-offer sa akin ito, hindi ako nagdalawang isip na tanggapin to.”
Ken Chan expressed his delight over his new series at the grand media conference on August 28. Present during the conference were fellow cast members Jestoni Alarcon, Teresa Loyzaga, Carmen Soriano, Lilet, Candy Pangilinan, Arra San Agustin, Rita Daniela, Jillian Ward, Bruno Gabriel, and the new child star JK Giducos.
