Netizens Say Jake Cuenca Now Looks Like Jim Carrey
JAKE CUENCA – The actor has caught the attention of netizens—not because of his performance in the Kapamilya series FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, but due to his noticeably whiter and seemingly enhanced teeth. While viewers continue to recognize his talent, many have commented on the changes in his appearance, especially his smile, which some say now resembles that of Canadian-American actor and comedian Jim Carrey.
Netizens have been curious about the dental work Jake may have undergone, with many speculating that he had veneers or similar cosmetic procedures. According to some, these changes have slightly affected his facial expressions and overall screen presence.
His teeth have become a trending topic on social media, with memes and reactions widely shared online. Film director and writer Ronaldo Carballo also weighed in on the discussion. On Facebook, he quoted a netizen who joked that Jake should have just been “a set of teeth” because of how distracting his smile has become. Carballo found the comment humorous and admitted he agreed with the observation.
In an earlier post dated June 13, Carballo shared a stronger opinion. He said Jake’s appearance and performance in Batang Quiapo have changed since his first episode, suggesting that the dental work made him look older and that his acting style has become exaggerated. He added that Jake’s frequent wide-eyed expressions seemed over-the-top for his role. Carballo even claimed that Jake was being overshadowed by the more natural performances of his co-stars Coco Martin, Angel Aquino, and Andrea Brillantes.
As of now, Jake Cuenca has not responded to the comments or issued a public statement.
