One-half of the reason people couldn’t get enough of the Glorious trailer was because of Tony Labrusca. Don’t try to hide it, we know you’re one of the 12.5 million (and counting) views on the trailer.
Before Glorious, Tony has been known for his roles in ML, Double Twisting Double Back, and Loving in Tandem. This is just his fourth major film and he’s already catching everyone’s attention. The social media buzz is like Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky all over again, except Tony is…Tony. He has his own charm and looks, okay!
Before we run out of words and end up clicking that replay button again, here are some quick fun facts about Tony Labrusca.
He starred in a popular commercial and a music video
I just found out recently that he was the guy in this emotional McDonald’s commercial from 2016. If you need a refresher, he’s the guy who left the fast-food resto after breaking up with his on-screen girlfriend Elisse Joson. Ouch.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago, he announced that he’s also part of Maris Racal‘s “Sugarol” music video. We are living for the cheesy interactions.
His parents look like his siblings
I’m not even exaggerating. Tony’s dad, Boom Labrusca, is an actor and model. While his mom, Angel Jones, also a model, won Century Tuna Superbods 2018 and she looks timeless AF. If you want proof that they all look like siblings, here are photos:
Two questions: What is in their water and why do they look so good?
That toned body didn’t come from nowhere
As you may have imagined, Tony has a wide range of workout routines. For his birthday, he went to Obstacle Course Camp. Spot him using kettlebells, swinging from rings, and so much ab exposure. [Sweats]
He’s obviously a regular of OCC too as a lot of his workout posts are taken there.
He was also first place in Spartan Race’s Age Group Division.
He can actually sing
Yup, he has one song out titled “Tanging Ikaw,” and he was nominated at the MOR Pinoy Music Awards for Best New Artist for it. You can watch the music video below.
If that’s not enough content for you, here’s Tony singing Kehlani’s “Down For You” with a guitar. According to him, this is how he kills time before taping.
So, when is the album coming out, Tony?
Award-winning TV actor
When Tony first appeared on La Luna Sangre as Jake Arguelles during the training scene with Kathryn Bernardo, netizens already took notice of him. His portrayal of the half-man, half-wolf character in the show won him a Best New Male TV Personality award last year at the PMPC Star Awards for TV.
Just like everyone else in the show, Tony had to learn how to fight. It seems like the training paid off based on this scene.
