Tri-athlete, actor and TV host Matteo Guidicelli was named as the first ever celebrity endorser of Mentos in the Philippines. Being one of the one fresh-faced heartthrobs in the country, Matteo knows how to balance his passion to sports and at the same time maintain his acting and TV hosting career in the Kapamilya network. According to him the best way to do it is to remain always focus on things which his mother thought him at the same time dealing negativity with sense of humor.
With the Mentos’ campaign “live fresh”, Matteo applied this philosophy in his work. “Every project I would consider challenging. When something is challenging, that alone keeps me motivated, just like learning a whole new language, Tagalog. It wasn’t easy but I had to if I wanted to stay in the industry.” He added. The actor makes it crystal clear that the bottom line is to just surprise you, in anything and everything. And we mean everything.
He also shared that his creativity as an actor is through his determination to have room for improvement and continue to learn about the history and culture behind people and places, eating rather exotic food, or even picking up a few phrases from a foreign language.
Lastly, Matteo makes sure to pay it forward too and shares that giving time and energy wholeheartedly, cheerfully, and joyfully to an advocacy close to the heart is a source of great fulfillment.
