Asian supermodel Brent Javier was recently sighted at the Bench Denim and Underwear show, Experience: Blackout. In the biennial fashion event, he shared the limelight with other Bench models as one of the newer Bench celebrity endorsers (he even had his own promotional pictures for the event). I wondered why he was included in the shortlist of celebrity endorsers when most of those included are actors in the local showbiz industry – until I read over the internet he is going to be an actor soon.

The Canadian-raised model makes his acting debut in the film “Loving You” where he is cast in a love triangle with JC de Vera and Yasmien Kurdi. His fans will be disappointed, however, because he is being packaged as a wholesome actor. So don’t expect him to be showing skin in the movies unlike in his daring pictorials for magazine spreads and print advertisements.

“Loving You” is produced by Regal Entertainment and Studio Max under the direction of Don Cuaresma and is going to be shown in theaters nationwide very soon.
