Budding actor, Carl Guevara lands his first Men’s Health cover this April

Though fairly new in showbiz, Carl Guevarra is very determined to reach the top just as how he managed to take on Men’s Health’s challenge of having him do wall climbing for the first time during the shoot of his first Men’s Health cover. With the convincing confidence he displayed during the pictorial, it didn’t seem like it was his first time at all!

Men’s Health thinks that Guevara’s concept of climbing through walls is a representation of the actor. After all, he’s just about to scale the heights of the entertainment industry. Besides, the manner by which he likes to go about his business – career, weight-loss, or life in general – is exactly how walls must be climbed: you take it step by step. 

At sixteen years old, Carl had to face weight problems. “At my heaviest, I was 230 plus pounds,” he informs. “Waistline ko nun 38.” With the guidance of his personal trainer, Guevara hit the gym and focused on cardio exercises. In a year, with proper diet and exercise, he brought down his weight to 148 pounds. He readily admits that this was wrong. “Under weight na kasi ‘yun, may time na ayoko na talagang kumain. Sobrang mali talaga, buti nga naitama ko na.” If there was one thing that he learned from his efforts of losing weight, it’s that slow and sure wins the game. “Naniniwala kasi ako na okay lang kahit mabagal basta sure na sure na tama yung kalalabasan,” he says. 

Guevara is willing to take it slow, and with his move to a new network, start anew. He has no demands, no qualms. He’s willing to take on anything and work with anyone. “Kasi doon makikita yung versatility mo as an actor”, he says adamantly. When asked if he’s ready for the long haul of show business, intrigues, long hours, the young actor gives Men’s Health a confident smile and says “Pinasok ko to, kailangan panindigan.”
