After singing the theme song for Princess and I entitled Nag-Iisang Bituin (watch the official music video here), he's now a part of the cast.
Christian Bautista's role in Princess and I is somewhat villainous since Priam is a rebel of the Kingdom of Yangdon. Christian donned a long hair for his role. He will be reunited with The Kitchen Musical co-star Art Acuña who plays one of the king's adviser in the ABS-CBN series.
Priam had a past with Ashi Behati played by Gretchen Barretto. In one of the flashbacks, Priam was the one who rescued Behati after the attack on their village which killed his father.
Meanwhile, Christian Bautista will be having a TV special in celebration of his 10th year anniversary in showbiz. Titled The Way You Look At Me, the Christian Bautista 10th anniversary special will air this July 8 on ABS-CBN Sunday's Best.
