Before everyone called him the "Pambansang Bae," people saw a bit of John Lloyd Cruz in the then-fresh-faced Kapuso star Alden Richards.

Now, Alden has transformed into a matinee idol in his own right, and John Lloyd has continued to solidify his versatility as an actor with his range in film.

Both have new projects to look forward to.

John Lloyd Cruz will star in his new romantic-comedy Just The 3 of Us opposite Kapuso star Jennylyn Mercado.
