Best Of 2018: These Breakout Stars Took The Spotlight With Their Intense And Riveting Acting!

Who would have thought Anne Curtis would headline an intense action flick like ‘BuyBust'?

Anne showed us how badass she is as an action star.

Here’s to more kickass film projects for our Princess of All Media in 2019!

Rami Malek was a revelation as Freddie Mercury in 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'

Rami embodying the rock legend was truly one for the books.

His performance gave us goosebumps, but his boyish looks in real life also made many swoon.

Netflix’s boy-next-door of the season has captured many hearts last year.

That was particularly for his role as Peter in ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.’

Off set, he also charmed viewers with his goofy side online!

‘Exes Baggage,’ the long overdue team-up of CarGel, was one of 2018’s biggest blockbusters.

The film’s success can be mostly attributed to Carlo and Angelica's timeless onscreen chemistry.

Everyone jumped into shipping these two outside the movie, too!

Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa tugged on our heartstrings in ‘A Star is Born.'

Bradley shone not just as an actor but also as a director in his directorial debut.

Lady GaGa was a breakout actress for her performance in this heart-wrenching drama.

Yam Concepcion’s character, Jade, in 'Halik' has been the subject of so many memes in 2018.

She sizzles as the character you loved to hate!

Yam is definitely one actress we’ll be looking forward to seeing more of in the coming years.

This promising young actor was one of 2018’s trending topics.

He showed everyone in ‘Glorious’ that he is an actor who deserves to be taken seriously.

Off cam, his looks also became his capital to trend over the internet.

'Crazy Rich Asians' was the blockbuster rom-com of 2018, special thanks to this Malaysian actor.

Henry Golding also appeared in ‘A Simple Favor', proving that he is more than just a pretty face.

Thanks to his talent and looks, he has opened doors for more Asian actors in Hollywood!

2018’s list of breakout stars includes a good mix of both up-and-coming talents and some established celebrities who have exhibited a different facet of their skills taking their careers to new heights. Launching a new age of entertainment in the Philippines has never been more interesting with these new and refreshed names breaking records and dazzling the public with their performance and charm.
