“It hasn’t fully sunk in yet,” the 32-year-old lawyer tells MEGA. “I’m definitely taking it one day at a time, I’m not going to lie. I’m still not used to all the attention, all the cameras and stuff.”
Who can blame him? After all, in just a few weeks, he became the talk of the town, capturing hearts and headlines alike with his charm and wit, all because of his appearance on the noontime show It’s Showtime.
Moeller recalls. “They told me it was just going to be a quick appearance—15 to 20 minutes. One thing led to another. I went to the show, and now we’re here.”
But was fame always his calling? Moeller chuckles before he admits, “It was never originally part of my plan to get into show business. My young dream was always something in professional sports, basketball, the typical Filipino hoops dream.” He adds, “I’ve always wanted to become a lawyer as well, so that ended up happening.”
HIS SKIN’S NON-NEGOTIABLES
In the high-pressure world of lawyers, where every moment is accounted for and every decision carries weight,maintaining peak fitness and appearance is no small feat. Yet, Moeller approaches his commitment to self-care like he had signed a contract with himself.
“I shower about two to three times a day,” he confesses with a laugh, his easy going demeanor belying the discipline required to maintain his impeccable hygiene. “Regular washing my face is a must,” he emphasizes, his dedication to skincare evident in his radiant complexion. “And sunscreen is definitely very important for me,” he adds, his tone turning serious as he underscores the importance of protecting his skin from the harsh rays of the sun.
As Moeller delves into the intricacies of his skincare routine, a deeper philosophy emerges. “I never lie down unless I know I’ve come out from the shower. And I make sure there’s nothing in my pores,” he says. “My bed is my sacred place, so you can’t wear outside clothes.”
