<p>McCoy De Leon opened up about being a father to his daughter, Felize, with partner Elisse Joson in an interview on TFC talk show, <em>BRGY</em>.</p><p>&quot;(She is) more than my life. ‘Yung masabi ko na sobrang worth it. Sobra, sobra. Siya yung pahinga ko, buhay ko, mundo ko. Hindi ko maisip kung  wala siya. Parang siya ‘yung nagbibigay sa&#x27;yo ng extra push, lahat-lahat —energy, pangarap,” he told guest host MJ Felipe.</p><div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hE4Jxk-vuFM" title="Mccoy De Leon on His Journey as David and New Movie | March 7, 2024 | BRGY S3 Ep 189" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>He also admitted that, in contrast to his tough and ruthless character he portrays in <em>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</em>, he was actually softer in real life when with his loved ones.</p><p>&quot;Marupok ako eh. Sobrang soft kasi din ni McCoy pagdating sa mga kapatid ko. Siguro doon ko nadala, hindi ako strong person. Ngayon nag-baby pa ako,” he confessed.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_6Pc8mz5Uu/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A2836565.699999988%2C%22ls%22%3A765096.4000000358%2C%22le%22%3A765109.1000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" 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><p>But he also mentioned that he has a strong will, though in a different way than the villain he portrays.</p><p>&quot;May ibang lakas ng loob si McCoy din kasi in real life. Si David, duwag siya talaga. Ang character talaga niya, duwag si David,” he said, comparing himself to the villain he plays. “Pero si McCoy, lumakas lang talaga din ang loob sa mga pinagdaanan niya.”</p><p>He reflected on what he has learned after being in the industry for quite some time now.</p><p>&quot;Hindi mawawala ang masasakit na salita sa industriya nito. And gagamitin mo ‘yun para ipagtibay mo ‘yung loob mo at tumagal ka dito,” he shared. “I think, and I should, ‘di pwedeng mag-give up. Kasi at some point, tao din tayo, meron din time na (may) downfall. Pero, ‘wag ka lang hihinto.”</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBPl7thzwmd/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A2837316.4000000358%2C%22ls%22%3A765096.4000000358%2C%22le%22%3A765109.1000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="0" 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;min-width:326px;padding:0px;position:absolute"></iframe><blockquote class=" instagram-media-registered" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBPl7thzwmd/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" id="instagram-media-payload-4" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBPl7thzwmd/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBPl7thzwmd/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Mccoy De Leon (@mccoydeleon)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>He added how he personally doesn&#x27;t want to put limitations on himself as an actor, especially as it is the industry he sees himself growing old in. </p><p>“Ayokong maglagay ng limitation. Parang sabi ko, ‘pag tanda ko, parang ito ‘yung gusto kong gawin.

He was actually on that path already, fueld by the goal to build a house for his family.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko maging engineer. (Nag) Engineering ako sa Mapua. Gusto ko lang magpatayo ng bahay para sa pamilya ko,” he recalled. “</p><p>Before long, he found himself gravitating more towards acting. The idea was planted from seeing his parents act.</p><p>“Para lang alam ng iba, parents ko kasi nagti-theater. Lumaki ako na nakikita ko sila mag-acting. And ‘yun, meron pala akong kilig,” he shared. “Alam mo ‘yun, parang merong plan si God. Meron kang plan, pero may plan pala si God na iba sa&#x27;yo. Na doon ka palang mag-excel.”</p>
