This time around, he takes on a new daring role with via his big screen comeback in 'Born Beautiful', the sequel to the critically-acclaimed and widely-successful 2016 movie, 'Die Beautiful'

Martin breathes life to the well-loved character of Barbs, a transgender who sets out on her own adventures following the death of her best friend, Trisha. For Martin, the preparations went beyond the usual acting workshop and required a complete physical transformation. 

"I feel pressured, but at the same time, honored na ako ang napili nina Direk Perci (Intalan) and Direk Jun (Lana). Of course, people will be expecting a lot from the sequel and from me as the new Barbs, pero naniniwala naman ako na ginawa namin ang lahat para pagandahin, or at the very least, pantayan yung success ng Die Beautiful."

'Born Beautiful' follows the life of Barbs and her journey towards self-discovery. After Trisha's death, she continues to join beauty pageants and becomes torn between two men. But complications arise and she finds herself trying to transition into becoming a man - but Trisha or rather, her ghost, isn't having it.

Catch 'Born Beautiful', under the direction of Perci Intalan and Jun Lana. The movie premieres this January 23 in cinemas nationwide.
