Dingdong Dantes is one of the most powerful actors in the Philippines with a handsome appearance. In addition, the actor is also loved for his happy marriage with Marian Rivera and 2 beautiful 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren like angels.
Dingdong Dantes was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1980 and debuted in the entertainment industry in 1996. He made his mark with a series of leading roles in: Mermaid Love Story, Wild Dance, Autumn in My Heart Philippines version, Heaven Without You (Korean remake of Stairway to Heaven), Two Wives, Mysterious Lover…
In Vietnam, audiences always remember Dantes through many films, including the science fiction film “Spaceship of Hope”. This is also the film that brought his name closer to Vietnamese audiences.
Dingdong Dantes first tried his hand at the Philippine entertainment industry when he was just… 2 years old. After a period of acting in commercials and joining a dance group, Dingdong officially entered the film industry with his first role when he was only 14 years old.
While Dingdong Dantes’ career was soaring with a series of leading roles and a huge salary, Marian Rivera only took on her first role in 2005 in the long-running series If Only You Love Me. By 2007, Marian Rivera had begun working on television projects for GMA Network. At that time, no one – including insiders – could have guessed that this step would not only take Marian’s career to a new level, but would also be an important turning point in her personal life later on.
Dancing With The Stars has become the most successful primetime drama on Philippine television, an unexpected television phenomenon that competes directly with Korean and Chinese film giants domestically and in many Asian countries, including Vietnam.
The impressive performance of Dancing With The Wild was the first peak in the careers of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, making their names associated with the titles “Primetime Queen” and “Primetime King” of Philippine television.
Thanks to the “heat” of their first collaboration, the Marian – Dingdong couple became the target of many other film projects. Their on-screen love continued through many series: Mermaid Love Story (2008), Dangerous Liaisons (2009), Horizon With You (2010) and Mysterious Lover (2012).
When they first started working together, Marian Rivera revealed that she was a bit disappointed when she found Dingdong Dantes to be “snobbish” and “unapproachable”: “We couldn’t find a common voice, not at all!”.
