Actor-singer Billy Crawford says he is all the wiser after landing behind bars in September of this year, on charges of malicious mischief and disobedience.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old celebrity, while intoxicated, barged into a community precinct in the City of Taguig and made a scene, prompting police to detain him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it made me stronger and wiser and taught me to take things slowly,\u201d Billy said, speaking to reporters at a press conference for his latest film, \u201cMoron 5.2: The Transformation\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt actually made me closer to the people who really matter in my life,\u201d he added, citing that his relationship with girlfriend and \u201cIt\u2019s Showtime\u201d co-host Coleen Garcia grew even stronger amidst the trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt tested us; we found out how much we could take as a couple,\u201d Crawford revealed.<\/p>\n

Crawford recounted that they were in the thick of shooting the comedy flick when the incident occurred. He likewise expressed his gratitude for the support he received from costars Luis Manzano, Matteo Guidicelli, Marvin Agustin, DJ Durano and John \u201cSweet\u201d Lapus during those challenging times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were all texting me. Luis even visited me (in the police station). I will treat them like my own brothers, no matter what,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s director, Wenn V. Deramas was equally supportive and did did not condemn Crawford for his actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe laughed and jested that it was too early to promote the movie,\u201d Crawford said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoron 5.2: The Transformation\u201d under Viva Films hits theatres nationwide on November 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
