While he thought he wasn’t in the best shape he could be, Paul Salas was pleasantly surprised that the comments about his recent topless photo shoot for a clothing brand were mostly positive.

“I’m thankful because Bench still had me despite not being in tip-top condition. I found myself eating more during lockdown. I have been trying out Dalgona coffee … everything,” he related in a recent virtual conference.

But thankfully, he said, he managed to discipline himself prior to the shoot.

“I was able to (go) on a diet. And I’m happy that fans liked my body this way: I have a bit more meat; not too thin as I was before,” said the GMA 7 actor, who celebrated his second pandemic birthday on April 16.

“I hope I could have celebrated my birthday with the people I love,” added Paul, now 23. “But I’m thankful that my family is healthy and that I have work … I hope things start getting better soon.”
