Nagugulat ako na ganun pala siya. Nagugulat din siya na may ganun akong personality. Totoo siyang tao. Straightforward siyang tao. Alam niya kung ano yung gusto niya. Alam niya kung ano yung ayaw niya sayo, yung tama at mali. Ganun yun,” he explained. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/3/25/anthony-jennings-on-his-intl-film-debut-excited-na-ko-0901"><strong><u>READ: Anthony Jennings on his int&#x27;l film debut: &#x27;Excited na ko&#x27;</u></strong></a></div><p>Having played many endearing roles on TV and film since he joined showbiz in 2019, the 24-year-old Fil-British actor said he is not bothered by being typecast in roles that have him portraying the rough-around-the-edges yet lovable guy who grew up on the streets.</p><p>“Kasi siguro kung paano ako magsalita siguro. Yung way ng pagsasalita ko. Yung kung kausapin ko lahat, parang kaibigan ko lang, yung wala masyadong walls, kumbaga. Pero masaya naman. Okay lang naman,” he told PUSH ABS-CBN. </p><p>When he’s not busy playing the role of Tomas Guerrero onscreen, Anthony said he is just like any regular guy who enjoys his day off, chilling at home. “Nag-wo-workout, kain, tulog. Tapos video games, basketball. Siguro kasama ko yung mga friends ko, gagala.”</p><p>Watch<em> Incognito</em> on weeknights at 8:45 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, TFC, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Catch it in advance on Netflix and iWantTFC.</p>
