Jake Cuenca has never been ashamed about his rebel past. In his interviews, he would often talk about being a disobedient teenage son and an irresponsible student. It was during those times when he toyed with the idea of joining showbiz.
But in his interview with StarStudio Magazine, the 22-year-old star revealed how he discovered showbiz to be a tough competitive world. He was only 14 when he struggled to land a role on TV. All that he was given back then were bit and supporting roles. With few jobs came little income, so at times he would swallow his pride and ask for money from his parents. “I also didn’t have a car so I would take the bus or MRT to tapings,” he told StarStudio.
Add to that the harsh discrimination that looms around showbiz. Jake shared that one time when he was just a newbie, he heard someone whisper that he should just stick to being a model because it seemed he had no chance of improving his acting. Deeply hurt, Jake had no choice but to suck it all up. “It was really not easy. I began to think that maybe showbiz was not for me because I wasn’t landing work, I wasn’t generating enough money or excelling.”
Find out what helped Jake rise above these trials and become one of the hottest leading men of today and how showbiz taught him the value of discipline. Get a copy of the September issue StarStudio Magazine for the full exclusive interview plus other showbiz features.
