<p>As one of the lead stars in Viva Films’ latest barkada film <em>Call Me Papi</em>, Albie Casiño admitted that he was challenged by the range of emotions that his character Ben had to go through in the film.</p><p>“I always say that as an actor, you take your work home with you. So I feel like when you do a role, you really put yourself into the role and when the role’s done you take a little bit of that role with you. So after shooting this, I became more focused lang on the trajectory of my life I guess,&quot; he told PUSH.  </p><p>&quot;I can’t explain it. It’s like before because nga I as so used to living day by day, I really wouldn’t look too far forward. I was a very “I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it” type of guy, na if it’s not my problem now, why worry about it now?” he added.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClvhARSOYYM/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1263642.2999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A330722.39999997616%2C%22le%22%3A330761.7999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="745" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cks70m2PB5n/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A1263661.3999999762%2C%22ls%22%3A330722.39999997616%2C%22le%22%3A330761.7999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="768" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/11/26/fresh-scoops/exclusive-albie-casi-o-admits-he-s-ready-for-fathe-204011"><u><strong>READ: Albie Casiño admits he’s ready for fatherhood: &#x27;A lot of my friends already have kids&#x27;<br/></strong></u></a></div><p>The 29-year-old actor said that fans will definitely see a different side of him onscreen through his latest film.</p><p>“After shooting this movie and getting involved in the character, I was able to take a part of it with me now that the fans will be able to see a more serious side of me. I like to laugh, make jokes, and make people laugh. But dito very serious yung character ko eh. I don’t even crack a single joke the whole time,” he remarked.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOJrynpqzu/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A1263688.0999999046%2C%22ls%22%3A330722.39999997616%2C%22le%22%3A330761.7999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="745" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/11/10/fresh-scoops/albie-casino-admits-he-is-not-the-marrying-type-203603"><u><strong>READ: Albie Casiño admits he is not the marrying type of guy<br/></strong></u></a></div><p>Having made his acting debut in 2010 in the ABS-CBN hit remake of the series <em>Mara Clara</em>, Albie’s career hit a bump when his name got involved in his ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann’s pregnancy in 2011 which was proven to not be true.</p><p>Last year, Albie claimed to have lost millions in projects and endorsements due to the paternity controversy but he has since moved on from the issue and is focusing on getting a second wind in his career.</p><p>The <em>Call Me Papi</em> revealed to <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com"><u><strong>PUSH</strong></u></a> how he was able to resist quitting the industry altogether.</p><p>“Siguro just by taking it day by day lang. When you’re facing tough times or tough problems, you feel that they’re a lot bigger and a lot harder than they actually are. But I feel like that’s the opposite of what happened to me eh,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Now, I look back and I need to sit back and really look to see and realize how big of an issue it really was back then. So for me, I had no choice but to live my life day by day. So it wasn’t like I was focusing on a goal, focusing on proving the haters wrong, it’s just that I was living my life every day and then it just added up to that,&quot; he added.</p><p>&quot;It wasn’t my goal to stay in acting and to prove my doubters wrong but it just ended up happening because I was just living my life day by day. It’s wasn’t my goal to do that,” he shared.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/11/2/fresh-scoops/albie-casino-opens-up-having-adhd-196669"><u><strong>READ: Albie Casiño opens up about having ADHD</strong></u></a></div><p><em>Call Me Papi </em>opens in theaters nationwide starting December 7, Wednesday.</p><p>Starring Albie Casino, Enzo Pineda, Royce Cabrera, Lharby Policarpio, and Aaron Concepcion.
