When we think of celebrities, we picture them on TV, walking the red carpet, or making blockbuster movies. But some Pinoy stars decided to spread their wings—literally and figuratively—and explore careers far from the glitz of showbiz.
Turns out, talent doesn’t stop at acting or singing. These celebs prove that passion can take you places, whether it’s up in the air, deep underwater, or in the wild.

3. Matteo Guidicelli: Army Reserve Officer
While he’s known for his acting, hosting, and racing skills, Matteo also serves as a second lieutenant in the Philippine Army Reserve Command. It’s discipline, service, and a completely different kind of spotlight.
4. Solenn Heussaff: Visual Artist & Designer
We know her as a model, actress, and TV host, but Solenn’s passion for painting and design is just as strong. She has held art exhibits, collaborated on furniture designs, and showcased her creative side beyond the screen.
5. Glaiza de Castro: Farm Owner
While she’s often seen playing intense roles on screen, Glaiza finds peace managing her farm in Baler. It’s a slower pace, surrounded by nature, but it’s a big leap from the hustle of showbiz.
Beyond The Screen
Being a celebrity doesn’t mean sticking to one path. These stars remind us that it’s never too late to explore a completely different world—whether that’s in the sky, in uniform, in the ocean, or in the quiet of the countryside.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s where they find their truest selves.
