The husband of the most beautiful woman in the Philippines was criticized for being old because he is nearly 40 years old and still plays the male lead in “Descendants of the Sun”

Marian Rivera’s husband – actor Dingdong Dantes is the male lead of the Philippine version of Descendants of the Sun.

The Philippines has just announced the production of a new version of Descendants of the Sun with the participation of Dingdong Dantes – husband of Marian Rivera , the actress known as the most beautiful in the Philippines.

Accordingly, Dingdong Dantes was assigned the male lead role of the film – Captain Lucas Manalo. At the age of 38 and with a lot of acting experience, Dingdong Dantes is expected to portray the complex, conflicted inner life of the Captain. However, the majority of the audience is also concerned that when the film is released, Dingdong Dantes will be “too old” compared to the other actors.

“Even though he is famous and handsome, he is still too old to play the male lead”, “I really like Dingdong Dantes, but he should not play this role, his age of 38 is a disadvantage”, “Why not choose a younger actor. Looking at Dingdong Dantes and comparing him with Song Joong Ki in the original is really lame”, “Dingdong Dantes is handsome, famous, has many female fans but he is a middle-aged man in his 40s, not suitable to play the role of a young man in his 30s”, “Why choose a father in his 40s with 2 children to play the role of Captain, I don’t like it at all” – Audience comments.
