Admit it or not, some child stars don’t age well. But puberty hit Kurt Perez right!
What only seemed as yesterday was actually 12 years when we were last charmed by the cuteness of this adorable cutie who joined and won the first and only StarStruck Kids in 2004.
He was then seven, then.
Before his family migrated to Brisbane, Australia, he played the young Aguiluz, the character of Richard Gutierrez, in Mulawin.
Twelve years later, Kurt is now 19 years old, “studying Engineering.”
On Instagram, he also mentioned about wanting to become an “entrepreneur.”
Thrice, he had a question and answer session with his Instagram followers, and revealed a few interesting things about his life away from the limelight.
Type of music: “Hip hop, RnB, sometimes classical…not really a fan of alternative though.”
Shoe size: “U.S. men’s 8”
Favorite Filipino food: “Probably halo-halo.”
When he was 17, he had a crush on “Kathryn Bernardo.”
When asked if he’s gonna “do some acting in the Philippines” again, he answered, “Nah.”
But he told a fan, “Hosting sounds fun.”
Another follower asked, “Hypothetically, what project will make you come back in showbiz?”
His reply, “Any project that would give me stability and free time.”
Is he still in touch with his StarStruck Kids batchmates, particularly, Miguel Tanfelix and Bea Binene, who are still active in showbiz?
“I’m friends with them on Facebook, and I follow them on Instagram, but we don’t talk.”
The most asked question: “Any plans of going back to showbiz?”
Kurt quipped, “If I get an offer or 50,000 followers, I’ll consider it.”
His Instagram has 6,300 at press time.
Is he willing to go back to the Philippines?
The hottie said, “If given the chance, I’ll do it.
Lastly, is he single? He did not answer, but some of his posts showed that he has been seeing a pretty Australian gal.
