Kit just lives the moment

Kit Thompson is back in the acting fold after being away from the public eye for almost three years. Reason: He flew to New York and studied acting for a year at the New York Film Academy.

The acting break he got right after his stint in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2012 caught his interest to learn more about the craft. It was his father who supported his schooling. Kit also did part-time jobs, among them was food delivery, to support his other expenses.

The ABS-CBN actor said that since he was under a student visa, he couldn’t work full-time. “It’s prohibited but it also depends on the school kasi yung sa school ko, meron silang tinatawag na OPT (optional practical training), parang OJT, but you can only work under your field. So, I did that. Six months ako sa New York ‘cause I’m only given up to a year. I told myself that if ever nothing happens, I have to go to L.A. right where Hollywood is as well as the agents. Luckily for me, I found an agent and I did auditions.”

After several auditions, Kit scored commercial bookings. In fact, he made it to the ABC showcase where he lasted until the final round before the actual, final showcase.

Kit was still in New York when Pia Wurtzbach stayed there and fulfilled her duties as the 2015 Miss Universe. The two have been friends even before the latter won in the Binibining Pilipinas pageant. That’s why, they would often hang out while there, which led others to surmise that the two had a romantic past. However, Kit stressed that they are just friends who share the same vibes. Truth is, he is going steady with his model girlfriend for two years now.

These days, Kit is in the cast of Sino Ang May Sala? Mea Culpa with lead stars Jodi Sta. Maria and Bela Padilla. His butt exposure in the said drama series became a hot topic recently and many were left wondering if Kit is also willing to do frontal nudity.

“I did it because my character Greco Catapang was flirting with Lolita (Ivana Alawi’s character) and that act was part of the scene,” reasoned Kit who added that he would never dare flirt with a married woman in real life.

Regarding frontal nudity, he would have to consider a lot of things before giving his nod. “It would depend on the role, its artistic value and how essential it is in the story. Otherwise, I have no plans of doing it just for the sake of accepting an offer.”

If there is something that Kit has learned in life in the past three years, it is “to just live in the moment; enjoy and cherish the moment because it will never happen again.”
