Rhian Ramos on finally posing for FHM after 7 years: I realized what I've been missing

After being wooed for seven years, Rhian Ramos finally agreed to grace FHM's covers — and the experience was definitely worth the wait.

"Narealize ko what I've been missing my whole life," Rhian said after signing her fans' copies of the magazine's July issue during a meet and greet in Valkyrie Night Club on Tuesday.

The “Sinungaling Mong Puso” star was first asked to pose for FHM when she turned 18, but declined because she didn't want to align herself with the brand's image.

However, the recent rebranding of FHM convinced her to finally accept their proposal.

Decked in fur and lace in the middle of a forest, Rhian oozed luxe in FHM's July 2016 issue.

She revealed it was her dream to have a photoshoot with that theme and FHM delivered.

Rhian said that it felt great to show another side of her in the magazine.

"Most of you know me as a boyish kind of girl. This shows a more feminine side...that's really who I am if you get to know me," she said.

The July issue also comes with the FHM Sexiest 100 list, the first to be released after the rebranding.

Rhian ranked 5th in the list, making a huge jump from last year's no. 86 spot.

The 25-year-old actress expressed surprise over her new rank, saying that she did not make any special effort to prepare for it.

"I've been working out and dieting...nagkasabay lang sila ng FHM," she said.

"Truthfully guys, number 80 something ako last year, hindi ko alam anong nangyari this year," she added.

She mused that her new found confidence after getting over her insecurities might have been the key to being sexy.

"Marami na kong napagdaanan in life...naging komportable na ko sa sarili ko," Rhian said. —JST, GMA News
