Actor Jake Cuenca is now attempting to become one of the the hottest, meatless stars in showbiz.

In an interview, Cuenca said that he’s trying to live a healthy lifestyle avoiding meals with meat.

“Right now, I’m vegetarian,” the actor said.

Cuenca said that as a new vegetarian, there are still times that he takes meals with meat just to make sure that there won’t be change on his complexion.

“Sometimes. Ayaw kong magbago ang kulay ko so sometimes pasulpot sulpot ako but I rarely eat meals na may meat talaga,” Cuenca said.

Aside from trying to become a full-pledged vegetarian, the actor also said that he’s also playing football. “And I play football, hindi nawawala sa akin iyon,” he said.

Cuenca, who is gearing up for another TV project, said that he’s trying to be lean for his newest role.

“Bale goal ko iyan for the show, I mean it’s not just enough I act the part, I wanna look the part also,” he said.

Cuenca even added that aside from playing football he’s also doing more cardio exercises.

“Hindi ako masyadong nagwe-weights ngayon. I just really do a lot of cardio even at home I do boxing and I do my sprints so that’s what I’m doing more often now,” Cuenca said.

Cuenca, also known as “Palos”, is a member of all-male-group Coverboys.

Cuenca made headlines when he broke up with his former sweetheart actress Roxanne Guinoo.

The actor is also set to do movies with Viva Films and Star Cinema.
