A famous Canadian actor couldn’t hide his love for BTS’s Jungkook, and fans are loving it.
On August 17, Cosmopolitan released an interview with Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto, where he mentioned Jungkook without hesitation.
When asked about his favorite BTS member, Manny Jacinto immediately answered, “Jungkook.”
He explained, “I used to be a dancer. I heard Jungkook trained in Los Angeles when he was younger, and I thought we might have even trained at the same studio around the same time. Even though he’s 8 years younger than me.”
The actor went on to praise him, saying, “I think Jungkook is one of the best dancers in the group. But I also really enjoy his music,” showing his admiration.
For those unfamiliar, Manny Jacinto is well known for his roles in hit projects like Top Gun: Maverick, Disney+ series The Acolyte, The Good Place, and Nine Perfect Strangers.
Jungkook has also received love from many other international stars. Swedish singer and actor Omar Rudberg once confessed, “I really like Jungkook. Jungkook, please contact me.” Hollywood star Tyrese Gibson (of Fast & Furious and Transformers) has also expressed deep admiration for him.
Backstreet Boys member A.J. McLean proudly called himself a “big, big fan” of Jungkook, while Tony Award-winning actress Betty Buckley shared his solo performances online. Pop singer Kehlani also posted, “Jungkook, I love you so much!” along with his cover of Honey.
Even more big names such as Andy Samberg, Diana Ross, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Winston Duke, and even Beyoncé have shown their love for Jungkook’s songs, proving his global impact.
And of course, fans haven’t forgotten when Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds liked Jungkook’s selfie and workout video back in 2019, creating a worldwide buzz.
In Korea, actor Kim Ji Hoon also chose Jungkook as his bias, saying, “For me, it’s always Jungkook.”
With more and more global stars openly praising him, it’s clear Jungkook’s influence as both a dancer and singer continues to reach new heights.
