Gil Cuerva starts jiu-jitsu lessons at 28: 'From One Day to Day One'
Gil Cuerva is proving that it's never too late to learn something!
On Instagram, the Kapuso actor shared that he started to learn jiu-jitsu, posting a video of him putting on the traditional uniform.
"I'd always been interested in BJJ [Brazilian jiu-jitsu] because I love watching MMA [mixed martial arts]. But who would've thought, at 28, I'd be learning a new sport!" he wrote in the caption.
"I keep saying I wish I started earlier, maybe around 19/20, but for me the best lesson I've picked up was changing 'One day, I'll learn Jiu Jitsu' to 'Day One of learning Jiu Jitsu' - and that can apply to anything in life!" he added.
Gil also expressed his excitement to learn jiu-jitsu moves and skills.
"It's never too late to try something new and to reinvent yourself," he said.
Other celebrities who dabble into jiu-jitsu include couples Rabiya Mateo and Jeric Gonzales as well as Rocco Nacino and his wife Melissa Gohing.
Gil is currently dating Lexi Gonzales. They previously starred in GMA Afternoon Prime series "Underage."
