Kapamilya actor Joshua Garcia admitted without hesitation who his first celebrity crush was.

This is none other than actress Kathryn Bernardo.

Joshua's confession happened when he participated in Fan Questions with Cosmo on October 26, 2023.

Ask him, "Who is your first celebrity crush?"

Joshua thought for a moment before answering, "Kathryn."

He explained, he was not yet an actor when he saw Kathryn and Daniel Padilla's movie in the cinema.

He said that it was also his first time to go to the movies at that time, so his attention was immediately aroused by Kathryn's acting skills.

Joshua said, "I can do it because I had a crush on him, my first movie experience, I still remember it, at SM Batangas.

"My first experience at the movies was when I watched her and Daniel's show Must Be Love.

"Since then, I've had a crush on him."

Must Be Love aired in 2013 before Joshua became a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) in 2014.

Behind Joshua's confession, he and Kathryn remain friends now.

Joshua belongs to the Nguya Squad, the gang that includes Daniel, Kathryn, Ria Atayde, Zanjoe Marudo, Alora Sasam, Khalil Ramos, Gabbi Garcia, Joe Vargas, Bianca Yanga, Pat Sugui, Aeriel Garcia, Josef Elizalde, and Dominic Roque.
