Ian Veneracion is used to getting a flood of compliments for his looks and talent, and while the 43-year-old actors finds them flattering, he is cautious not to believe the "adulation," for fear of considering himself above or better than others.

In an interview on "Tonight with Boy Abunda" that aired Thursday, Veneracion opened up about how he deals with adoring words from his fans, notably since his 2013 supporting role in the primetime hit "Got to Believe."

For one, the "We're All Alone" crooner said he would much prefer giving a hug to fans who come up to him, rather than posing for selfies, pointing out that then, there would be a more personal connection.

"I wouldn't mind giving a thousand hugs!" he said.

That statement can actually be tested once he stages his major concert, "Ian in 3 Acts," on May 13 at Resorts World Manila -- which he promoted on the talk show.

Before wrapping up the interview with Abunda, Veneracion was made to participate in the regular "challenges" for guests, but his was unique.

The "A Love to Last" actor was shown several tweets from fans expressing admiration for him. Reading them one by one, Veneracion had a good laugh, but also immediately got awkward. Watch the video below:
