Paolo Serrano, 19, said to be a Piolo Pascual lookalike, models for Bench, Criterion, Guess? and Bum Equipment. Measurements: 5’11″, 145 lbs., chest 39″ and waistline 31″

A Computer Science graduate of Perpetual Help College in Laguna, he pursued a showbiz career because it was one of his dreams. Like McMeil he was already a ramp model looking for a chance to enter showbiz. So when the opportunity came to audition for Viva Hotmen, he even cut class and traveled to Manila for a once in a lifetime chance.

As a member of the Viva Hotmen, he enjoyed the exposure they get particularly in out-of-town shows, fashion shows and TV shows. The Viva Hotmen used to have different gigs in ABS-CBN in shows like “MTB” and “Yes, Yes, Show.” Each of them too have done cameo roles in different TV series he related.

With regards to his fitness regimen, he confessed to using supplements like whey protein to bulk up. Unfortunately despite his strict weight training and diet, his job has always made him lose weight and muscles!

“It’s hard to build when you don’t get enough rest!”

He is comfortable about wearing sexy clothes because he started as a ramp model. This he said built his confidence then. It was also the reason he developed a sense of professionalism in his career.

He said that he has been hounded with indecent proposals.

“We would get calls and text messages asking us to come with these individuals as their guests. They said they would pay us from P50,000 and above just to accompany them in parties. We are always surprised to find out that people would pay us big amounts of money for two hours of simply being with them in parties,” they shared. “That’s why we never answer calls if we don’t know those who’re calling. We don’t just give away our numbers.”
