On Thursday, actor JM De Guzman posted some heavy, disconcerting videos and pictures to his Instagram account that half-scared and half-entertained us. We sincerely hope he’s just having a go at us — otherwise this stuff really breaks our heart.
In one post, he films himself air boxing at a furious speed and ends it by flexing his muscles. Nothing alarming about that, but we do wonder what the meant when he wrote that he’s “friends with the monster. Everything is planned by God. He made something very beautiful from my pain.”
In the next video, he is again flexing and air boxing, but he also films himself shouting, though nothing intelligible comes out of his mouth. “Pag masaya ako, nakakalungkot. Pag tahimik may problema. Pag malungkot naka drugs. Guys… Guys… eto ako. Live with it.” Unnerving.
But perhaps the most worrying of all posts was a photo of him holding his right hand up to almost cover the screen, “Hey dad, are you going to send me to rehab again? Some things are just None of my Business.”
There were also snapshots of what appears to be pages from his journal, with doodles and poems that all seem to hint at difficult times.
We hope he’s just method acting.
