Charming and chiseled — Carlo Aquino's glow-up era

Everyone's been asking why ace dramatic actor Carlo Aquino looks exceptionally good these days? Fit and ripped, with taut, glowing skin and a jawline sharper than ever, he has a one-liner reply to the question.

"Beautéderm, siyempre (of course)," he quips as a nod to his longtime skincare endorsement for his dear friend and godmother Rhea Anicoche Tan's popular wellness brand.

But beyond the flawless skin and sculpted physique, it's clear that Aquino's glow is coming from within, thanks to all the exciting things unfolding in his life.

Topping the list for sure is his "homecoming" to Viva Entertainment through Viva Artists Agency (VAA) — which managed his career in the mid-2000s — marking a full-circle moment in his career. With only gratitude for ABS-CBN and Star Magic, where he likewise flourished for the past 15 years, Carlo is diving head first into this new phase in his artistic journey — one where he's not just taking on roles but also actively contributing to the creative direction of his projects.

Yet ultimately, the 39-year-old actor won't deny that his eight-month marriage to Charlie Dizon is his greatest source of joy.

Having tied the knot in June 2024, Aquino calls his wife his "light "— the one who fuels his passion and drive, making everything feel like a fresh beginning. No wonder he looks this good.

Carlo Aquino is definitely in his best era yet.
