MANILA -- Ian Veneracion joined showbiz when he was five years old.

From then on, Veneracion has proven that beyond his good looks is a passionate actor who would achieve even greater success as he becomes older.

From being a child star, Veneracion transitioned into a matinee idol and later on an action star. Among the remarkable movies under his belt are "Anak ng Demonyo" and "El Presidente."

But Veneracion admits he has gained more supporters when he was paired with Jodi Sta. Maria in the remake of the primetime series “Pangako Sa ‘Yo.” Their tandem was such a hit that they went on to star in the Metro Manila Film Festival movie “All You Need is Pag-ibig” in 2015.

Currently, Veneracion plays one-third of the love triangle of Sta. Maria and Richard Yap in the upcoming romantic-comedy film “The Achy Breaky Hearts.”

Unlike other celebrities whose world revolves around their job as actors, Veneracion, who was recently signed to endorse Primera Light Brandy, has a full life outside of showbiz.

Here are four things you may not know about Ian Veneracion:

1. He paints, and plays the guitar and piano like a pro. “My dad helped me become an artist but never really forced me to become one,” he said. Veneracion, who has already mounted three successful solo exhibits, said he admires the works of artists Gus Albor, Bencab, Lao Lianben and Fernando Amorsolo.

2. He is a licensed private pilot. He also has a license in skydiving and paragliding. “I don’t always go with the stuff that I’m already comfortable with. Whatever makes me uncomfortable, I see it as a challenge. I have to see what’s out there,” he said, referring to his fascination for flying.

3. He is truly a sporty person. He plays football, basketball, martial arts, boxing, rock climbing, golf and sailing.

4. He loves cooking and baking such that he took up a course in Culinary Arts. “Because I eat three times a day and I’ll be doing that for the rest of my life, might as well know how to cook,” he said. His specialty? A tiramisu.
