Will Ashley is having quite the year. From turning heads with his performance in Bar Boys: After School to landing his first lead role, making his music debut, and stepping up his fashion game, the young actor is exploring new sides of his artistry left and right. With so much happening at once, it’s safe to say there’s plenty to celebrate when it comes to Will.

He Made Us Feel It All in Bar Boys: After School  

Will Ashley wasn’t playing around in Bar Boys: After School. As Arvin Asuncion, a working law student trying to keep up with school, work, and everything happening at home, Will got to show a side of himself we don’t always get to see. The role called for more than just delivering lines, it meant tapping into Arvin’s frustration, exhaustion, and vulnerability, and Will made those moments hit. It’s a different kind of performance from the charming, easygoing roles we’ve seen from him before, giving him plenty of room to flex his dramatic range. And clearly, the performance didn’t go unnoticed: Will took home Best Supporting Actor at the 9th EDDYs for his role as Arvin, adding another major milestone to his growing acting résumé.

Landing His First Lead Role in Delivery Boi

Will Ashley is landing his first solo lead role in GMA’s Delivery Boi, where he plays Boi, a delivery rider who will do whatever it takes for his family. It’s a pretty big step for Will, especially as he gets to take center stage in a role that’s all his own. He shares the screen with veteran actress Meryll Soriano and a cast of both familiar and rising stars, making Delivery Boi another exciting chapter in Will’s growing career.

His Fashion Has Range 

Will Ashley can go from oversized tees, baggy denim, and sneakers to a full-on red carpet look without making either feel out of character. He’s played around with relaxed streetwear, Y2K-inspired fits, sharper tailoring, statement accessories, and more experimental silhouettes. Whether he’s keeping things low-key or showing up dressed to make an entrance, Will clearly isn’t afraid to switch things up! 

Entering His Singer Era With “Paborito” 

Will Ashley is officially in his singer era. He made his music debut with “Paborito,” the first single from his upcoming album Liham, and even co-wrote the track. The song is a playful take on that feeling of having a person who’s just a little more special than everyone else. Sweet, easygoing, and very much in its kilig era. After watching Will take on different roles on screen, hearing him tell a story through his own music gives us yet another side of him to love.

Entering His Singer Era With “Paborito” 

Behind the artista stardom, Will Ashley is really just a regular guy at heart, and we’re here for it. Outside of work, he’s just playing games, doing silly things, and having fun with the people around him. It’s a side of Will that makes him feel all the more relatable.

From acting to music and everything in between, Will Ashley has had plenty on his plate this year. As he continues to try new things, we’ll just have to see what comes next.
