John Lloyd Cruz on the cover of Esquire Philippines’ Art Issue

(SPOT.ph) Did you know that acclaimed artist Romeo Lee gifted John Lloyd Cruz with a surreal portrait? Lloydie is known for his role as a leading man in chick flicks but beyond his boy next door appeal, he’s actually an avid fan of art. He even made an appearance at the opening of the Met last year.

We’ve seen him from every angle possible. Now, we even know what he looks like from behind, thanks to this portrait painted by contemporary artist Nona Garcia for the cover of Esquire Philippines’ art issue.

The issue features Audrey Carpio’s visit to the matinee idol’s home to check out his art collection.

Esquire’s February 2014 issue is available at newsstands and bookstores
