Filipino Canadian actor Manny Jacinto is proving once again why fans can’t get enough of him.
May it be his diverse acting portfolio, smooth dance skills or chiseled cheekbones that could rival a sculpture, Jacinto has a magnetic presence that captivates audiences. And just recently, Jacinto is giving ARMYs a reason to swoon.
In a recent Cosmopolitan interview, the “Good Place” and “Top Gun: Maverick” star revealed that his BTS bias is none other than the group’s youngest member, Jungkook.

“Jungkook. I was a dancer, and I have this theory… he apparently trained in Los Angeles when he was younger, and I think we almost crossed paths and trained in the same studio around the same time,” Jacinto shared. “I think he’s one of the best dancers on the team. But I also just dig his music.”

For Jacinto, the admiration runs deeper than just fandom as it’s rooted in his own background as a trained dancer before breaking into Hollywood.
The idea that he and Jungkook might have shared the same space, unknowingly honing their craft in parallel, adds a layer of almost-fate that fans can’t stop talking about.
His praise for Jungkook’s dancing, paired with his love for the BTS member’s solo music, shows just how much respect he has for the idol’s artistry.
The actor’s confession comes as he takes on one of his biggest projects yet, Disney’s “Freakier Friday,” a sequel to the beloved “Freaky Friday” starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
