Tipong si RJ Padilla ang next big Padilla. Last week, the newest Padilla to enter showbiz was everywhere and we mean everywhere. The elder half brother of Daniel Padilla was part of the new TeleBabad Carmela, Ang Pinakamagandang Babae Sa Mundong Ibabaw weeknights after Adarna.
Starring Marian Rivera and Alden Richards, si RJ ang partner ni Krystal Reyes even though napakalaki ng age difference ng dalawa and we won’t tell you his real age kasi he requested na off the record na lang ito although he mentioned his screen age.
Also last week, part of all Kapuso stars si RJ na horror movie for Valentine, Coffeehouse Productions and Springboard Productions “Basement” opening nationwide on Feb. 12.
Directed by Topel Lee, RJ joins Aljur Abrenica, Chynna Ortaleza, Kristoffer Martin, Enzo Pineda, Sarah Lahbati, Dion Ignacio, Kevin Santos, Jan Manual, Ron Padilla, Teejay Marquez, Mona Louise Rey, Alvin Aragon, Carl Acosta and Dex Quindoza, Betong Sumaya, Ellen Adarna, and Ms. Pilita Corrales as among the victims of a manananggal na nakulong sa basement.
If that is not enough, nasa kabilang network din si RJ when he joined the all Padilla cast naman of “Sa Ngalan Ng Ama, Ina at Maa Anak” produced by his uncle Robin Padilla.
Kasama niya rito ang co-Kapuso stars niyang sina Kylie Padilla, Bela Padilla and even Aljur. This bodes well for RJ na kahit na hindi maging kasing sikat ni Daniel, at least he is getting a name for himself without using his half brother’s popularity dahil magkaiba sila ng network so RJ doesn’t have to talk about Daniel all the time.
