Secretive actor likes to keep ’em guessing

Proficient Pleaser (PP) is an amiable and well-loved personality in the biz; but he also has a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to stirring things up for the sake of his show biz career.

PP knows only too well that a celebrity wouldn’t last long or manage to stay at the top of his game if he’s too scared to play.

PP had participated in an international film festival (held prepandemic), where he met an actress whom he flirted with during the entire festival run. He was even caught by the media kissing the actress during one of the after-parties.

But things got more interesting when the festival ended and everyone had to go home to their respective countries. The actress, who clearly wanted more than just a night of smooching with PP, even flew to the Philippines just to be with him.

This is good news for PP, of course, because this gave people something new to talk about for a while. After all, the local media was starting to get tired of reporting about him and his lack of a buzzworthy love life.
