Filipino actor Anthony Jennings has been riding high since last year, captivating audiences with his portrayal of “Snoop Manansala” in the ABS-CBN and Netflix hit-series “Can’t Buy Me Love,” where he starred opposite Maris Racal as “Irene Tiu.”
His off-the-cuff comedic banter has won him a massive following, making him even more relatable to casual viewers of the show. Now, “Snoop” is stepping into a new realm, not just as Donny Pangilinan’s sidekick and best friend, but as a lead action star in his own right.
Jennings has now been named the Philippine character representative for the international action-packed film “Boy Kills World.”
Expressing his elation at being chosen for the ambassadorial role, Jennings, whose fervor for action-packed narratives has fueled his journey in the entertainment industry, shared his excitement in an Instagram video from Nathan Studios Inc.

Harkening back to his childhood, he revealed a deep-seated affinity for action films, citing icons like Fernando Poe Jr. and “Flash Point” as major influences on his aspirations to become an action star. He also expressed his awe and interest in delving deeper into the choreography of fight scenes.
The announcement was met with a flurry of anticipation as the “Can’t Buy Me Love” star, donning a costume reminiscent of the titular character from “Boy Kills World,” took to social media platforms with zeal, promoting the film with action-packed poses and infectious enthusiasm.
Directed by Moritz Mohr, “Boy Kills World” promises a gripping narrative centered around the character Boy, portrayed by Hollywood star Bill Skarsgård. The storyline delves into themes of vengeance as Boy embarks on a relentless quest for retribution following the tragic loss of his family at the hands of Hilda Van Der Koy, portrayed by Famke Janssen.
