Coco Martin: From Motorcycle Stuntman to Bankable Star
The King of Philippine Cinema's Unlikely Journey to Fame
Coco Martin's early years were far from glamorous. Growing up in a poor family, he turned to motorcycle stunts as a way to make ends meet.
When he first learned to ride, Martin saw it as a source of income. He would perform daring stunts on the streets, earning small amounts of money from spectators. As he honed his skills, Martin's fame gradually grew, and he began landing roles in small films and television shows.
Martin's big break came in 2010 when he was cast as the lead role in the hit action series "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano." The show became a massive success, propelling Martin to stardom. Since then, he has starred in numerous films and television shows, becoming one of the most bankable stars in the Philippines.
Despite his success, Martin has never forgotten his roots. He remains an avid motorcycle enthusiast and often uses his platform to promote motorcycle safety and awareness.
