Christopher de Leon: “Nasangla na ‘yung bahay, nabangga na ‘yung mga kotse ko. I had zero balance in the bank.”
CHRISTOPHER DE LEON – The veteran actor said that he once “lost everything” and admitted that he was once blinded by fame.
The actor said in an interview with Korina Sanchez that this happened during the peak of his career in showbiz when he was younger, to the point that film producers shied away from him because he “became a headache”.
Christopher also said that he was rowdy and obnoxious at that time and that lasted for 5-7 years. He added that he decided to change his ways when he realized what was happening.
The veteran actor was also asked about his inspiration in his recovery.
“Mga anak ko, aside from a lot of things. Kailangan mo mag-survive eh,” he said. “You have a family. Mare-realize mo that you are fortunate to have all of this and you’re just throwing it away. Hindi puwede. Hindi tama.”

In the same interview, the actor shared that he also faced multiple ordeals when his wife Sandy Andolong and one of his children got sick.
He recalled that his son was unconscious and being rushed to the hospital, adding that his son was able to recover at that time. Christopher also shared that Sandy had a kidney transplant just as his son was making a recovery.
Christopher shared that those experiences certainly made him a more sensitive actor, adding that he’s certain what he went through in his life is something that can’t be translated into a movie.
He also said that those experiences have made him into a more caring person.
