I&#x27;m okay with this because I still have the opportunity to help others,&quot; he shared.</p><p>The Kapamilya actor added how he should continue his momentum as a celebrity to try and reach out to more people who need help. He claimed that he doesn’t need to enter politics to be able to help out.</p><p>&quot;If you really want to help, the power is there, the opportunities are there. I&#x27;m just lucky because I&#x27;m a celebrity, the power is there, the influence is there and I use it in the right way,&quot; he added.</p><p>Gerald then used his recent heroic effort as an example of how he was able to inspire other people to help out.</p><p>&quot;If I wasn&#x27;t an actor, you think what I did would be trending, right? I happened to be an artist, I was photographed and filmed, but that also inspires so many other people. That&#x27;s just what I look at as my influence,&quot; he continued.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/8/17/gerald-anderson-starts-new-sports-business-venture-913"><strong>READ: Gerald Anderson starts new sports business venture: &#x27;I want this to be so successful to get to help others&#x27;<br/></strong></a></div><p>Meanwhile, his latest series Nobody marks his return to the small screen after a two-year break. The action-drama series will feature one’s loyalty, integrity, and morality that the Kapamilya actor will try to showcase.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s the perfect comeback show because it&#x27;s very challenging. This is a journey of a person who you don&#x27;t know what he really is. Is he a hero? is he a vigilante? does he have integrity,&quot; he said.</p><p><em>Nobody</em> will be produced by ABS-CBN’s JRB Creative Production and is directed by Benedict Mique.</p>
