Will Ashley reflected on his journey as he stars in not just one, but two entries in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
The former Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition housemate will take on leading roles in two highly anticipated films, Love You So Bad alongside Bianca de Vera and Dustin Yu, and Bar Boys: After School with Carlo Aquino, Kean Cipriano, Enzo Pineda, and Klarisse de Guzman.
In an Instagram post, Will expressed his excitement and disbelief at achieving what was once only a dream. "Mood right now!! Only a crazy dream until you do it! Mag kita kita po tayo sa PASKO para sa MMFF!!!" he remarked.
The actor also expressed gratitude to everyone who supported him throughout his career. "Maraming salamat po sa pag mamahal at suporta. Maraming salamat sa tiwalang ibininigay niyo sa akin. Mahal ko kayong lahat!!!" he said.
The actor went on: "Isa lamang itong pangarap dati. Who would’ve thought na sa unang MMFF dalawa na malapit sa puso kong pelikula ang mapapasama dito! Patuloy po natin suportahan ang pelikulang Pilipino!! 🫶🏻"
Fans online were quick to congratulate Will on this new milestone in his career.
"PROUD OF YOU WILL! 💙" one fan commented.
"Proud kami sayo will ashley @willashley17 deserve na deserve mu nak 🙌👏❤️," another fan wrote.
Love You So Bad follows the story of "sassy, confident and unapologetically herself, college senior Savannah (Bianca) [who] is determined to live life on her own terms. She finds herself torn between two very different men: one who fuels her wild side, bad boy and chick magnet LA (Dustin), and one who challenges her to grow, principled and ambitious Vic (Will). As old wounds resurface and difficult choices confront her, she must decide who she really wants to be and who she dares to love," as per previous report by ABS-CBN Films.
Meanwhile, Bar Boys: After School takes place a decade after the first film. While the original explored the struggles of surviving law school, this installment delves into what comes next life after graduation as per previous report by Inquirer.
