Jeric Raval, known for his action star roles, recently recounted his youth filled with bar brawls and bravado. Reflecting on those wild days, he humorously acknowledged how his on-screen persona often drew unwanted attention.
Bar Fights and a Hollywood Alter Ego
‘Pag action star ka, akala nila talagang top guy ka, magaling ka. 'Yung ginagawa mo sa pelikula, kaya mo gawin sa tunay na buhay. Hindi nila naiintindihan pelikula lang ‘yan,’
Jeric Raval, Actor
During a guest appearance on Kay Susan Tayo! Vlogs, Raval reminisced about the misunderstandings that arose from his action star image. He recounted a specific incident at a bar near Sgt. Esguerra where he got into a drunken fight.
- Raval felt like a Hollywood action star when drinking.
- He often engaged in pointless fights, driven by pride.
- His knowledge of kickboxing added to his confidence.
Raval humorously noted that when he was drinking, he imagined himself as Steven Seagal, feeling invincible and handsome. This perception sometimes led him into unnecessary confrontations.
He recalled an encounter where a customer underestimated him, saying he would easily win a fight against Raval. Despite the bravado, he reflects on those moments with a sense of caution, advising against such reckless behavior.
Raval’s experiences highlight the fine line between on-screen action and real-life consequences, a lesson he hopes others can learn from. Now, he encourages aspiring actors to consider the implications of their public image and the importance of self-control.
