Filipino singer-actors Kyle Echarri and JK Labajo interviewed Anthony Mackie during the Disney Content Showcase APAC in Singapore, where he was promoting Captain America: Brave New World.
The interview started with a lighthearted moment as the pronunciation of JK’s name amused Mackie before discussing his passion for acting, which he has pursued since childhood.
Mackie shared that acting was his way of experiencing the world differently and an escape from his upbringing, a feeling he still relates to as Sam Wilson, now the new Captain America.
He emphasized that he does not feel pressured by the role but sees filming as an enjoyable experience with longtime colleagues.
Offering advice to aspiring Filipino actors, Mackie stressed the importance of self-honesty, highlighting the difference between wanting to be an actor and simply seeking fame.
