The best actor award he received at the 16th Toronto Film and Script Awards for That Boy in the Dark, his debut film, which will be released in theaters in January 2023, came as a big surprise to Joaquin Domagoso.

Joaquin was surprised and grateful that the Canada-based award-giving body recognized his performance in That Boy in the Dark, written by Gina Marissa Tagasa and directed by Adolf Alix Jr.

In the Cabinet Files, he stated, “I was very overwhelmed when I got the news that I won best actor.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa Maykapal sa opportunity at recognition He gave me for this award. And to my manager Wowie Roxas, my number one supporter for my career.

“Never ko in-expect na mapupunta sa akin ang best actor award kaya po I’m very grateful to the team behind the decision-making.

We also asked Joaquin about his upcoming fatherhood, which was first confirmed by his father, former Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno, in July 2022.

However, Joaquin chose not to speak.

We understand Joaquin’s refusal to respond to or discuss his son, Scott Angelo Domagoso, who was born on April 28, 2022, because he may be like other showbiz figures who place a high value on their personal lives.

Raffa Castro, the daughter of actor and newscaster Diego Castro, is Joaquin’s girlfriend and the mother of his child.
