Carlo Aquino
We can still remember how Carlo Aquino almost made it as a cast member of the phenomenal Korean series "Squid Game,"and how much he regret that this didn't push through because of the pandemic. Despite that, there are still many things he can be grateful for. He recently finished a US Tour with Star Magic, and stars in the new movie "Expensive Candy." Now, it has just been revealed that Carlo has landed his first international role. He, together with Star Magic head Direk Lauren Dyogi, just signed movie project with Philippine independent production house High Road Creatives and Japan's 034 Productions. Filming will begin early next year.
