JOSEPH Marco

You may recognize Joseph Marco from his Bench billboard on Edsa or his many magazine covers and campaigns. He also appears in the ongoing ABS-CBN primetime soap, “Honesto,” and his recent roles in independent movies “Saturday Night Chills” and “Saka-Saka.” Marco won the Best Actor trophy with co-actors Matteo Guidicelli and Rayver Cruz for “Saturday Nights Chills” in the Currents category at the recently concluded Cinema One Originals Film Festival.

 

When asked about his future plans, he said: “Right now, the goal at hand is really to perfect the craft I am in love with, which is acting. I’ve come this far and I have no plans of stopping.” Not that we needed convincing, but after our chat, we’re positive this stunner’s eye is on the prize.

 

Following his footsteps

 

I am really inspired by actors who… have a wide range of roles they’ve portrayed in their careers, one of whom is Ryan Gosling. He may not be among the veterans yet but he’s done remarkable roles, be it romantic comedies, action, or even as a villain. He brings depth to each character, and I admire that.

 

What I really enjoy about being in the movies is… aside from the perks of being recognized, there’s a different kind of rush when you know that you can influence people by it.

 

Style rituals

 

I take great fashion inspiration from the likes of… Ryan Gosling’s character in “Crazy Stupid Love.” He is confident and stylish without trying too much. But if you ask me, I’m all about

BYREDO Perfume For Men

comfort over style.

 

I’m a lover of… shades that I purchase from my travels. More than the brands, I look out for styles that suit me well.

 

Three of the most amazing countries I’ve been to are… I can say I fell in love with Japan for its food, London for its culture, and Italy for its breathtaking structures.

 

I’m a music enthusiast because… it’s something that I’ve grown to relate to ever since. It’s just love for the love of it.

 

When it comes to my hair… No one in particular cuts it right. Sometimes, I even trim it myself.

 

Hair-care products I can’t live without are… I don’t leave the house without using Bench Fix Wax to style my hair.

 

I have a massive collection of… perfumes—from my travels or gifts from good friends. I have had a collection of good scents from Prada, Commes de Garçons, Givenchy and Byredo.

 

Products I always have in my gym bag are… soap, alcohol and a dental kit.

 

I have my facial care and spa treatments done at… Dr. Aivee Aguilar Teo’s clinic.

 

Now smell this
