Siya ang nagkuwentong malaki ang kinalaman ng kanyang kaibigang si Anne Curtis sa pagpirma niya ng kontrata sa VAA.
Lahad ni Bryanboy, “I was with my friend Anne in Paris last year. So, we were hanging out and she works with Warren [Dimen, Anne’s handler] and Veronique [del Rosario-Corpus, VAA President and COO].
"And then she was, like, ‘Bryan, do you have someone taking care of you in the Philippines?’
“I’m like, 'Not really.' And she kinda connected me with Viva and we did some calls and Zoom when I was still at home in Sweden, and then magic happened."
Dagdag niya, “Viva will represent me for my career here in the Philippines.
"For example, I’ve already been creating content online for years and I think, I wanna take it to the next step.
“I mean, when it comes to fashion, when it comes to style and my career overseas, it’s quite established.
"But I feel I could do more here in the Philippines. I have a huge Filipino audience on my platforms so why not grow it?"

Hindi makapaniwala si Bryanboy na darating ang panahong magiging bahagi siya ng Viva na itinuturing na institusyon sa Philippine entertainment industry kaya nakaramdam siya ng paninindig ng balahibo.
“I’m having goosebumps now. It’s very, very surreal being here.
"Viva is such a legacy, institution. It’s one of the pillars of Filipino entertainment.
“They have all the biggest celebrities and to be part of it is such an honor and maybe long overdue, but it really never occurred to me until now.
"For me to be here, I’m just so grateful and I’m very excited,” saad niya.
Bukod kay Anne Curtis, ang iba pang big stars ng Viva Artists Agency ay sina Sarah Geronimo, Lovi Poe, Cristine Reyes, Julia Barretto, Billy Crawford, Matteo Guidicelli, Xian Lim, at Vice Ganda.
Mabilis na "Why not?" ang sagot ni Bryanboy nang tanungin kung papayag siyang tumanggap ng proyekto para sa Vivamax.
Paliwanag niya, “I think for me, for example, we are in the business of entertainment.
"We love to inspire people. We love to make people happy. We like to make people angry sometimes.
"But it’s already entertainment. It’s already acting."
Hindi raw isyu sa kanya ang gumawa ng pelikula para sa Vivamax.
