Alden Richards goes tongue-out viral again

Alden Richards has once again proven that he’s not just a leading man, but also a good sport with a great sense of humor.

A throwback photo of the actor recently resurfaced online—one where he’s playfully sticking out his tongue with two fingers pressed against his forehead. Instead of brushing it off, Alden leaned in on the fun.

On Thursday, he uploaded a TikTok recreating the pose with a hilarious twist: he measured how much he loves popular Filipino dishes by varying the length of his tongue-out expression—while keeping that signature finger pose.

The video quickly took off, earning over 1 million likes and sparking thousands of comments. Netizens have since turned it into a trending challenge, posting their own takes on the “Alden forehead pose,” often set to the viral track “Kung Tayo” by Skusta Clee.

Beyond TikTok fame, Alden is keeping busy with major career moves. He’s set to make his directorial debut in the upcoming film Out of Order, showcasing a new side of his creativity behind the camera. On top of that, he’ll be hosting Stars on the Floor, a new dance competition premiering this June on GMA Network.

From trending poses to pioneering projects, Alden Richards continues to show why he remains a beloved star with charm, talent, and humor to match.
