On December 16, during the Himala ng Pasko Media Con, Nikko Natividad admitted that his naughty social media reflects his personality in real life.
He always wanted to show his authentic self on social media.
“Ganon po kasi talaga akong tao. Noon po takot po ako mag-post dahil nga kasi siyempre Hashtag ako. Dapat ano kami–dapat clean ‘yung dating, ka-respect respect. Eh dahil sabi ko, ‘ayaw ko na, gusto ko na ilabas kung sino ako.’ Kaya kung ano ako sa social media, ganon din po ako sa totoong buhay.”
As for his role in Niña Niño, Natividad shared how he accepted the project.
“Nag-meeting po ang Cignal, TV5, at buong production, naghahanap po sila ng gwapong artista na may pagka-daks so hindi na po sila nahirapan na nakita nila ako sa Instagram. So sobrang nagpapasalamat po ako no.”
He then expressed his gratitude that he won’t have heavy drama scenes in the series as he joins the cast of Niña Niño.
“Sa totoo lang po natakot po akong tanggapin ito noh, kasi sabi nila ang Niña Niño ay drama. So ang una ko pong tanong sa manager ko ay kailangan bang umiyak kasi hindi po ako marunong umiyak talaga sa mga projects. So napre-pressure din po ako kasi napapanood ko po ang Niña Niño, madalas po umiyak sila Maja si Noel.
“So ang sabi nila sa akin, wag kang mag-alala sa three months mo dito, hindi ka iiyak. So tuwang-tuwang ako.”
The cast of the series includes Maja Salvador, Noel Comia Jr., Empoy, Moi Bien, Dudz Teraña, Rowi Du, Lilet Esteban, Yayo Aguila, Giselle Sanchez, JM Salvado, Welwel Silvestre, Junyka Santarin, and Mutya Orquia.
