INIALAY ni Arjo Atayde sa girlfriend niyang si Maine Mendoza ang napanalunang Best Actor trophy sa 2020 Asian Academy Creative Awards.
Ang anak ni Sylvia Sanchez ang itinanghal na pinakamagaling na aktor sa AACA para sa kanyang natatanging pagganap sa iWant digital series na “Bagman.”
Bukod sa kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan at mga fans, nagpasalamat din ang award-winning Kapamilya actor kay Maine na isa rin daw sa mga biggest supporter niya.
“Besides my family, besides my girlfriend, everyone else who believed in me from the start. Everyone who helped me.
“Each and every actor along the way of my journey to this has been a factor in what I learned the way they showed and shared their brilliance on camera. It helped me. I learned.
“So I dedicate this to everyone in ABS-CBN. Everyone who helped me. Just everyone who believed in me. They know who they are,” pahayag ni Arjo sa ginanap na virtual mediacon kamakailan.
Aniya, lahat naman ng tagumpay na kanyang tinatamasa at sa mga blessings na natatanggap niya ay palaging kabahagi si Maine na all out din ang ibinibigay na suporta sa kanya.
“I’m very happy and blessed of course. She knows naman what I have to say. I just dedicate this to her. She’s an inspiration to me. She’s my core and I’m happy,” pahayag pa ng Asia’s Best Actor.
Kuwento pa ni Arjo, ilang sandali lang matapos ibandera ang kanyang pagkapanalo sa nasabing international award-giving body, isa si Maine sa mga unang nag-congratulate sa kanya.
“Basta we celebrated on our own and of course I’m very happy. I’m very happy when she messaged me, with or without the post, she congratulated me na so it’s more than enough.
“I don’t need to post. I just really appreciate it when she does know because we’re not really out there. But I’m very happy. I appreciate her in every single way,” aniya pa.
Samantala, sa 2021 papasukin na rin ni Arjo ang pagpo-produce ng pelikula at may mga plano na siya para sa first project niya bilang producer.
At kung mabibigyan ng chance marami siyang gustong maka-collaborate na Hollywood at local stars.
“Sina Denzel Washington, Robert de Niro, Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Eddie Redmayne, Miles Teller, Leonardo di Caprio, Jonah Hill, Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, too much to mention.
“Marami pa po and mostly also a lot of senior actors we have in the Philippines, not only Hollywood but also here.
Ang dami ko pang pangarap makatrabaho. Meryl Streep, Halle Berry, madami pa akong gusto makatrabaho na babae,” pahayag pa ni Arjo.
Pero ang isa sa mga local actors na talagang pangarap niyang makatrabaho ay si John Lloyd Cruz pati na ang girlfriend niyang si Maine.
“Si Lloydie pa rin ako at saka sa babae si Maine. Anything, just something different. Kahit ano basta makatrabaho ko siya and basta mag-e-enjoy kami and something that would present something sa table for our Kapamilyas. Sana mangyari,” hiling pa ng aktor.
