Get ready to know more about Kapamilya actor JM de Guzman as he ventures into the world of vlogging!The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/initsamagdamag" target="_blank">Init Sa Magdamag</a> star recently uploaded his first YouTube video to share more of his life with his beloved fans. Simply titled “GET TO KNOW ME,” JM shared fun facts about himself and his journey from being a child actor to one of the industry’s well-known leading men. If you’ve always known JM as “JM,” you’ll finally find out that it stands for Juan Miguel. His birthday is on September 9 and he began acting at the young age of 6. JM recalled the times he and his mom would scour for acting opportunities in commercial auditions and minor role openings. They would line up for hours and he’d go up against hundreds of other auditionees. It was heartbreaking, at times, for JM to not get chosen after all the hard work. However, when he successfully got a role, the fulfillment was indescribable because he knows he put a lot of time and effort to land it. In his younger years, he would mostly get roles in commercials, garnering more than 20 commercial projects before he went into entertainment. Because of this, he was considered a family breadwinner to help with household expenses. While this was all happening, he still pursued his studies and graduated high school. He focused on his acting and became part of Star Circle Quest ‘09. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to succeed since he was still too young. But on the bright side, he got cast in the ABS-CBN youth-oriented variety show “Ang TV 2” and got a first taste of the showbiz industry. After “Ang TV 2,” JM slowly discovered his deep passion for acting. Since he didn’t have a lot of projects, he decided to study Theater Arts with a major in Performance at the University of the Philippines-Diliman. “Doon ko nakita ‘yong mga seniors, mga aktor, na sobrang seryoso sa craft nila. Na-engganyo ako, nainggit ako. ‘Pag nagpe-perform sila, parang nag-e-enjoy sila, sarap no’ng feeling nila. So, doon ko sineryoso ‘yong craft ng acting,” JM shared. With more motivation and drive for the art of acting, the income didn’t really matter much anymore for JM. Whether it was an audition for an indie film or a minor role, he still took it because he enjoyed acting wholeheartedly. Eventually, his passion turned into major roles, lead roles, and awards. He even recalled how surprised and happy he was to be entrusted with a major role in “Mula Sa Puso” and a titular role in “Angelito: Batang Ama.”JM also admitted that he’s had his fair share of challenges and dark times, which allowed him to learn how to cope and handle things on his own. After taking some time to take care of himself, one of the most important lessons he learned is to find happiness in the small things of life. He imparted, “You will learn eventually to enjoy the simplest things.”Despite the difficulties he encountered, his love for acting never faded. Thankful for the constant support of his family, friends, and fans, he feels lucky to have been given a grand TV comeback, starting with the 2018 drama “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/arawgabi" target="_blank">Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Araw Gabi</a>.” Ready to explore a world outside of acting and bare a different side of himself – his true self – to the world, JM’s optimistic about his vlogging channel. Head on over to JM’s YouTube channel to stay tuned for more videos. He’s been uploading some collab videos and behind-the-scenes of his busy life as an actor.
