Vice Ganda has opened up that he was hurt when people bashed him and called him like a horse at the start of his show business career.
“Yung mga pinakauna pa, ang sinasabing komento, ‘Mukha kang kabayo.’ Yun, pinaka-minor na kritisismong natatanggap ko.
Nasasaktan ako kasi hindi ko natatanggap. Hanggang eventually, ‘Oo nga, ano? Mukha pala akong kabayo.,” Vice said during a conversation on Jaya’s online show CSTV Presents Straight Talk.

The TV host admitted that he, later on, realized that he looked like a horse.
“Dati talaga, mukha akong kabayo! Hahaha! Ang haba kasi ng buhok ko nung nagsisimula ako sa comedy bar. Ta’s super payat ako. Siyempre yung mga baklang kanal days ko,” he said.
Vice recalled the early days of his career. “Hindi naman gutom na gutom. Yung kung ano lang available,” he said.
Vice, later on, realized that he should learn to accept his flaws and use it to his advantage.
“Mukha talaga akong kabayo. So nung una, nahe-hurt ako. Tapos, ginawa ko siyang material. Pinagkakitaan ko. Dun ako nagsimula na nagkaroon ng material. Nakilala ako na si Vice Kabayo. Kinailangan ko pala gamitin yun to my advantage,” he said.

Vice then thanked all those who bashed him.
“Kaya maraming-maraming salamat sa mga umokray sa akin dati na mukha akong kabayo,” he shared.
Vice’s first film was based on the adaptation of the classic ‘Petrang Kabayo’.
“Kasi kahit anong gawin kong pagmamaganda, kung ang tingin nila sa akin kabayo, hindi ako gaganda. So, ‘Sige na nga, karerin ko itong kabayong ito.’ ‘Tapos lahat ng materials ko dati sa comedy bar, puro tungkol sa kabayo” he added.
