April 16 ------ It's taken him a little longer than his twin sister, Atasha Muhlach, to get into the family business, but the prayers of a huge and ever-growing fanbase have finally been answered. Andres Muhlach — the dashing, dreamy and oh-so down-to-earth son of showbiz royalty Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales — is officially a Viva Artist Agency talent now following his grand launch on Monday at the Viva Cafe in Cubao, Quezon City. While it's long been announced that he is set to star in a sitcom with his dad, mom and sister (whom he calls his "best friends," bless him!), it always seemed Andres was hesitant to claim his birthright and become a star.
Asked by The Manila Times Entertainment once and for all why it took him this long to give in, Andres honestly replied, "I've always been interested in [joining] this industry, seeing my dad and mom. [But] in the case of Tash, she was definitely more vocal about it, and, as for me, I'm more of the quiet type, so I kept it to myself. "But, eventually, when I felt confident enough and comfortable, I talked to my parents and told them this is what I really want to do and that I want to take the opportunity [to begin] now." More touchingly, Andres — who's clearly been raised so well along with Tasha by the doting and devoted parents Aga and Charlene turned out to be — opened up and said it was only when he was much older that he really understood and appreciated what his parents' celebrity allowed them to do. "I didn't understand much of it when I was younger, but when I got to my teenage years, I saw how the industry can affect people's lives; how my dad can make people happy [through his shows and movies], and with me, I just want to be able to make people smile."
Doesn't that just send your heart a-flutter? No wonder Andres has been given a title this early in showbiz, and has been dubbed the Prince of Hearts. Of his new monicker, the day's most important heartthrob shyly said, "It's very flattering. It's a big thing for me and I appreciate it a lot."
