Kapuso actor Benjamin Alves recently took to Facebook to commend 16-year-old actress Charlie Fleming for her impressive stint as a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Collab Edition.
In his post, Alves wrote, “So happy to see all the great reactions to Charlie Fleming on PBB. Definitely a great kid, and an upcoming actress to be reckoned with,” highlighting his admiration for the young star’s growth and the positive buzz she’s been generating among viewers.
Fleming has been an early standout figure in the PBB house, captivating audiences with both her charm and a bit of controversy. She recently made waves when she allegedly threw a piece of fried chicken during a time of food scarcity among the housemates, sparking tension with her older co-housemates who deemed her actions inappropriate.
The incident ignited heated discussions online, initially dividing opinions among fans and fellow Kapuso housemates. However, a heartfelt conversation with “Kuya” and her peers revealed it was all a misunderstanding. Fleming’s willingness to own up to her mistake turned the tide, earning her a wave of supporters who see her potential for growth—a sentiment Alves echoed in his praise.
The young actress’s humility and maturity didn’t go unnoticed inside the house either. Her housemates granted her immunity for the week, ensuring she was safe from nomination and eviction, a clear sign of their belief in her promise as both a person and a performer.
Alves, who previously worked with Fleming on the hit murder-mystery series Widows’ War, also reflected on her development as an actress.
“She really matured in her craft while playing Sofia during Widows’ War,” he shared, recalling their time together on the show. His words underscore Fleming’s evolving talent, now on full display in the unpredictable world of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition.
