Hello, Love, Goodbye
During his appearance on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda, Alden Richards looked back on his box-office film with Kathryn Bernardo, Hello, Love, Goodbye.

“Malaking bagay po sakin na nabigyan ako ng opportunity [na] makatrabaho ang Star Cinema, ABS-CBN, and of course, [si] Kathryn Bernardo po sa [Hello, Love, Goodbye],” Alden told Boy Abunda, “We never really had any expectations for the first film, [kaya] nagulat na lang po kami sa [support] na nakuha niya and naging performance niya sa takilya…”

Dream come true
Alden Richards was all smiles when he told Boy Abunda that Hello, Love, Again, the sequel to his 2019 film with Kathryn Bernardo, is a dream of his that is long overdue.

At stake
For Alden Richards, a lot of things are at stake with the release of Hello, Love, Again because, according to him, there is a thin line between it being a hit and a miss.

“[We’re worried] paano kung hindi siya mag-perform as good as the first movie, but we really have high hopes,” he told the program.

Confident
Despite his concerns, Alden Richards said he and the Hello, Love, Again team are confident of the quality of the film, but it is still up to the people if they will receive it with love and support.

“I’m very confident with the film [because] nagawa naman po namin siya nang maayos and nai-deliver namin ‘yung mga eksenang dapat i-deliver nang maayos. Nasa audience na lang po ‘yun on how will they take this film, if it’s worth it,” Alden said.

Hello
Speaking of the film Hello, Love, Again, Alden Richards opened up on how he views the word “hello” in the context of love and he said it mirrors his concern about who he is going to be once waves hello to his future partner and who he is going to be once he goes in a relationship.

“It’s more of an uncertainty because I’ve been single for the longest time, and I don’t know how I am in a relationship right now. […] I don’t know how I am as a partner,” he said.

Ready for love
Perhaps, one of the frequently-asked questions about Alden Richards is his readiness to commit to love, and during his Fast Talk with Boy Abunda appearance, the actor noted that he is ready to fall in love again and get out of his comfort zone. He is also currently on the stage of “exploring” love.

Overthink
When asked about the meaning of love, Alden Richards said, “Love is something that makes you feel good, and I don’t want to be too mental about it. Coming from all the things that I’ve experienced […], sometimes hindi ko mapigilan ko but to overthink about [love] and think about it too much.”

Risk-taker
Considering his experiences in life, Alden Richards was honest about not being too much of a risk-taker in love and that he prefers not to be all out about it. But during the “Fast Talk” segment, Alden said that if there is one thing missing in his life, it is love.

Most painful goodbye
Alden Richards said that the most painful goodbye for him was saying goodbye to his childhood at an early age because of his need to work at a young age for the security of his family.

Kathryn Bernardo
After months of speculation, Alden Richards clarified that he is not courting Kathryn Bernardo and that they want to cherish whatever they have right now. After all, he thinks Kathryn Bernardo knows his feelings for her.

“Sa ngayon, ayaw kong madaliin kung ano man ‘yung pinagdadaanan naming dalawa and I think she has all the time in the world now that she’s been able to try new things,” Alden said. “Right now, we are just very blessed of this opportunity that we have right now and the friendship that we have right now is deep and special…”

He also said Kathryn Bernardo is always in his heart and his mind.
