Jimmy Kimmel welcomed boxer Manny Pacquiao to his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, on Nov. 3.
Pacquaio, an international boxing sensation and the biggest celebrity athlete in the Philippines, was jovial and charming as he sat on the couch sharing details of his life with Kimmel.
Kimmel brought up Pacquiao's movie, "Wapak Man," and the boxer revealed, "I did my own stunts" and the character he played was a "mix of Superman and Spiderman." Aside from acting, Pacquiao is working on his next album—his first album, "Para Sa'yo Ang Laban Na 'To" (This Fight is For You), was released in 2006.
One fact about Pacquiao that intrigues many is the size of his entourage. Kimmel touched on this subject and even Pacquiao couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous it sounded. 30 people follow the boxer around. Although they all do various jobs, they can be done by less people, as Kimmel suggested. Pacquiao laughed off the comment, clearly amused by the interview.
When Kimmel mentioned the amount of people living with Pacquiao in his apartment (eight), Pacquiao replied, "it's too many, huh?"
Clearly a people pleaser, Pacquiao thrived under the spotlight and enjoyed being on the show as much as his fans in the audience enjoyed seeing him in a different setting. The boxer even treated the audience by singing "Sometimes When We Touch" and participated in a clip where he punched old pumpkins.
Pacquiao's appearance on the late night talk show was one of the media stops to promote his Nov. 14 fight against Miguel Cotto.
