Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards made a guest appearance on ABS-CBN’s ‘It’s Showtime.’
The unexpected move brought delight to fans, as Alden joined the hosts to promote his upcoming film in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), titled ‘Family of Two (A Mother & Son Story),’ alongside the legendary Sharon Cuneta.
The hosts of ‘It’s Showtime’ warmly welcomed Alden, expressing their disbelief and excitement at having him on their show, especially considering his roots in the rival noontime program, ‘Eat Bulaga!’ Alden, acknowledging the network rivalry, used the opportunity to emphasize unity in the entertainment industry, aiming to bring joy to viewers.
During the segment ‘MeChoose, MeChoose,’ Alden actively participated, contributing to the show’s vibrant atmosphere.
He even joined the trending “What’s up, Madlang People?” greeting, creating a buzz on social media.
Mega Star Sharon Cuneta, who also joined Alden in the guesting, expressed her admiration for the young star’s humility and friendliness. The hosts commended Alden for his pleasant demeanor, highlighting the importance of big stars maintaining a down-to-earth attitude.
Alden’s appearance on ‘It’s Showtime’ comes ahead of the release of ‘Family of Two,’ a film where he fulfills a dream he shared in 2019 about wanting to work with Sharon Cuneta in a project centered around a mother and son relationship.
