In a press conference, JM de Guzman denied the rumors saying it took some hardwork on his part to be where he is now right now. He added that he worked hard to establish his name and will not use anybody to his advantage.

"Malinis ang konsensya ko sa issue na yan kasi pinaghirapan ko talaga na mabigyan ako ng pansin or ng opportunity na makapasok sa showbiz," JM de Guzman said.

The 'new Rico Yan' in the 2011 remake revealed that he started as early as six years old in the industr.

"After ko lumabas sa mga commercials nung six palang ako eh nag Ang TV 2 naman ako nung 13 ako. During that time, wala parin nangyayari kaya narealize ko na medyo may kulang," he said.

JM added that he also tried theater.

"Pumunta ako sa theater para mahasa yung ibang aspeto sa akin. Then pagkatapos nun, medyo na feel ko na may maibubuga naman ako kaya doon na ako nagpakalat-kalat sa indie scene." the actor said.

The Kapamilya actor added that he is not the type of person that uses someone for money and fame.

"Ako yung tipo ng tao na kapag hindi ko makuha yung isang bagay, mabuti na paghirapan ko na lang, kahit dumugo-dugo paa ko. Hindi naman masama ang humingi ng tulong, pero mas maganda kung sarili kong sikap, sarili kong hila lahat ng mga problema ko. Mas fulfillment sa akin yun."

JM is also thankful to ABS-CBN for giving him the biggest break of his career so far. He is likewise grateful to his fans for their support.

"Sobrang blessed talaga ang feeling ko ngayon kasi siyempre ito na yung pinakahihintay kong opportunity. Hindi lahat nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng lead role sa isang teleserye kaya malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa ABS-CBN sa tiwala na ibinigay nila sa akin."
