1. Alden Richards is his stage name

Alden Richards is a clever play on his real name: Richard Reyes Faulkerson Jr. He is lovingly called RJ by his close friends and kin.

2. He excelled in school

Richards studied in De La Salle University-Canlubang, majoring in Business Management. In the school, he was classmates with fellow heartthrob Juancho Trivino. Trivino testifies to how Richards was a bright student, “Magaling siya sa lahat [ng subjects] kasi sobrang talino niya. Magaling siyang mag-recite at sa oral presentations.”

3. He lost weight for his new film, Hello Love Goodbye.

His recent movie Hello, Love, Goodbye with Kathryn Bernardo is a box office hit. It also proved how Alden is just beginning to show us what he’s capable of. Alden was very dedicated to the film and his role as he shed 20 to 25 pounds in a month and a half to make his OFW character, Ethan, more convincing!

4. He once auditioned for reality shows Starstruck and Pinoy Big Brother

Before his big break at Eat Bulaga, Alden auditioned for reality shows. While he didn’t make the cut, other windows opened and brought him to where he is now!

7. He is a man with a big heart!

Since Alden knows what it is like to have a tough life, he’s never failed to look back despite the achievements. He frequents Holy Trinity Home for Children to celebrate his birthday and on other days even when there’s no special occasion. 

8. Punctuality is his virtue of choice

During a Facebook Live session, Alden says his one pet peeve is being late. You can tell that he’s a professional through and through! We at Belo can attest to this – he is RARELY late for his appointments!
