Bago inilunsad bilang bagong endorser ng IAM Worldwide ang Thai-British model/actor na si Tate Myron, napansin na ito ng ilang movie producers dito sa Pilipinas.
At nung pormal siyang ipinakilala bilang youth ambassador para sa “IAM Next” campaign ng kumpanya, makikita ang interes ng mga Pinoy kay Tate dahil sa loob lang ng dalawang araw ay umabot na sa one million views ang kanyang launch video sa Instagram.
Dalawang movie production na raw ang interesadong kunin siya para sa isang movie project.
At wiling daw si Tate na mag-aral ng Tagalog.
Namayagpag na rin kasi ang acting career niya sa Thailand noong nagsimula siyang mag-model doon.
Aniya: “I think, once I became confident in Thai language, it opened more doors for me to do more acting work.
“And another thing was… it actually was modelling that made me consider an acting career.
“I had a runway show...And there was a director in the audience who was watching. And she said, ‘Oh, you look really the type of character I’m trying to cast for.'
“She asked, ‘Are you interested in acting?'
“I answered, 'Of course I’m interested.' Now, I’m fully an actor. I have done three to four TV series.”
FLUENT IN ENGLISH
Malaki ang tsansa niya rito dahil nakakapag-English siya nang deretso nang walang Thai accent. May dugong British kasi siya.
“I think the advantage of that is I can go to countries like the Philippines, where people speak in English, and talk to them, speak about culture references that we share.
“That's because of my mixed culture experiences in the past. And I think it also makes me understand more because of my experiences, and different cultures just growing up,” sabi pa ng 22-year-old na si Tate.

WILLING TO WORK IN THE PHILIPPINES
Bukod sa English at Thai, nakakapagsalita rin si Tate ng Mandarin, kaya open siya sa mga possible projects na puwede pang ibigay sa kanya.
Bukod din sa acting ay nakakakanta pa siya, na malaki ang edge kung papasukin niya ang showbiz dito sa Pilipinas.
“I would love to work in the Philippines as an actor. I think that the Philippines and Thailand have a lot of similarities.
“Talking to the people here, I feel like that could be a place for me to work in.
“So, we’ll see what the future holds,” napangiti niyang pakli.

JERRY OLEA
Kagaya ng ibang foreigners, sobrang nagustuhan daw ni Tate Myron ang mga tao dito sa bansa.
Sabi pa ni Tate: “My first impression is that, everybody is very nice. Everybody always greets you with a smile and like everybody has a high level of engagement with the things that I’m doing.
“And being able to work with such talented people like videographers, photographers, and directors here with the campaign that we did, it made me realize that, well, there are tons of people in the Philippines that I would love to work with as long as I can.”
Sa ngayon ay pinagkakaabalahan niya ang campaign shoots, content production, at promotional engagements para sa Gen Z market na target ng ineendorso niyang kumpanya.
