Director, netizens are concerned about Richard Gomez’s appearance now
RICHARD GOMEZ – Social media is abuzz with discussions about photos of the 4th District of Leyte Representative, with many noting that his appearance no longer fits the image of a “matinee idol” or “Adonis” as it once did.
Director and writer Ronaldo Carballo commented on Richard Gomez’s appearance, expressing surprise at how he looks at 58. Carballo suggested that Gomez might have become too absorbed in his roles as a farmer and politician, neglecting his grooming habits, like getting a haircut. Carballo lamented that if Gomez hadn’t entered politics, he would still be an active leading man on TV and in movies, admired for his looks. He expressed nostalgia for Gomez’s previous image as the Adonis of Philippine cinema.
In the comments, Carballo suggested that Richard Gomez’s wife, Lucy Torres-Gomez, should also ensure he takes care of his appearance. He emphasized that while it’s fine for Gomez to gain some weight, it’s important for him not to appear messy or unkempt. Carballo hoped Lucy would take on the role of monitoring Gomez’s grooming habits, urging at least for him to get a haircut.
Some personalities and netizens shared their reactions in the comment section. One commenter noted that Richard Gomez might not be as conscious about his appearance now that he’s not actively acting, contrasting him with Aga Muhlach, who still maintains a groomed appearance. Another commenter mentioned being surprised by Gomez’s sudden change in appearance, noting his slightly bigger belly and occasional dancing with Lucy in videos. Additionally, on Gomez’s official Facebook page, some netizens suggested he get a haircut or visit Dra. Vicki Belo, with one commenter even jokingly saying he would become an Adonis again.
Richard Gomez’s official Facebook page reflects his busy schedule as a congressman, with updates showcasing his dedication to his duties, including a message of greeting for the Philippine Independence Day celebration. Additionally, a blogger has come to Gomez’s defense against criticisms and comments from netizens.
