Jake Cuenca’s New Smile Sparks Jim Carrey Comparisons

Jake Cuenca’s recent appearance in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo has caught the attention of viewers, but not entirely because of his role as a tough-talking politician. Many netizens have been buzzing about his noticeably brighter and more polished teeth, saying it’s giving off some serious Jim Carrey vibes.

While no one questions Jake’s acting chops, people online can’t help but wonder what exactly he had done to his pearly whites. Some suspect veneers or another dental tweak that ended up changing his overall look. Because of this, Jake has become a trending topic on Facebook pages and comment sections, with fans and critics alike poking fun at his new grin.

Even veteran director and scriptwriter Ronaldo Carballo joined the conversation, posting on his Facebook about Jake’s transformation. He shared a netizen’s sarcastic comment: “Jake Cuenca, what kind of acting is that? You should have just turned into a full set of teeth!” Carballo added that he agrees, pointing out that Jake’s updated dentures, in his view, didn’t do him any favors.

The director went further in an earlier post dated June 13, bluntly saying Jake looked older and less convincing in Batang Quiapo. He criticized Jake’s intense facial expressions and claimed other stars like Coco Martin, Angel Aquino, and Andrea Brillantes easily outshine him in every scene.

So far, Jake hasn’t given any statement about the chatter surrounding his dental makeover. Fans are waiting to see if he’ll break his silence or just flash that controversial smile and keep on acting.
