“To my fans, my kababayan, and everyone I’ve worked with,” he wrote in a post. “After a lot of prayer and some hard conversations at home, I’m stepping away from everything effective October 31. The movies, the teleserye, all my endorsements. Everything,”
However, the reason behind his announcement was eventually revealed.
The catch? It was definitely something that fans shouldn’t worry about! Paulo’s post was a playful response to the extended 26-minute preview of GTA 6, which was finally unveiled to the public.
“GTA 6 is out November 19. PoE 2 hits 1.0 on December 11, and they finally added swords. I watched the Extended Look last night, and I have not been okay since,” he shared.
“To my legal counsel, please tell everyone lining up to sue me that I’m available March 2027. I’ll have 100% GTA completion and a build nobody can touch by then. Sue me at my peak,” he added.
For the fans who are still unsure, they can re-read the actor’s final statement: “Babalik din ako. Basta. God bless po.”
Following the post, fellow fans expressed their excitement with the actor.
“My heart nearly dropped hearing the news until I read the second paragraph! Enjoy GTA 6, po!” one netizen wrote.
Another commented: “Pareho kayo ng asawa ko, Pau! Haha. Hindi ko na yata makikita anino neto. Sa sobrang excited sa GTA 6, nag-file ng leave.”
