SA guesting ni James Reid sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong nagdaang Friday, isa sa mga ibinatong tanong sa kanya ni Kuya Boy Abunda ay kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya 10 years ago.

Habang tinatanong ay napapanood sa background si James na nagpe-perform sa ilang shows ng GMA 7 noong nagsisimula pa lamang siya sa showbiz.

“If I look at this kid 10 years ago, he was just really going with the flow, seeing where life is taking him.

“I never imagined I was going to join show business. I never imagined that I will be an actor singing,”sabi  ni James.

Patuloy pa niya, “I was a shy kid from Australia and life was kind of throwing me into all of these new things.

“I was really just going with the flow seeing where life would take me, trying everything,” saad pa ni James.

Pag-amin pa niya, “I think at that time I was a little bit lost also. Lost in the context of what I meant to be doing. I was trying everything. Acting, dancing, singing.”

Hindi rin niya na-imagine noon ang sarili na magiging isang celebrity siya, “Yeah, it never crossed my mind.”

Inalala rin ni James ‘yung panahong nasa high school pa lang siya sa isang eskuwelahan sa Makati na tumagal lang ng dalawang buwan. Nawiwirduhan daw siya noon dahil marami na ang nagkaka-crush sa kanya.

“Pagpasok ko every morning into the school, all the students would be screaming. This was before I was on TV and everything. They would all scream and I was like, ‘What’s happening?’

“They were all taking pictures and they were all screaming and saying ‘He’s so guwapo.’ But I look very different from everyone else so that was the first time I was like, ‘Am I good-looking?’” nangingiting pagbabahagi pa niya.

At sa tanong kung kumusta na siya ngayon, “Not lost anymore. I think after exploring so many different things, after going through different management, doing film and then going independent, try music, I think I found really what makes me happy and found that balance of my career and my lifestyle.

“I feel like my music has helped me open up really,” aniya pa na kinompirmang babalik na rin siya sa acting.
