Timeline
Joseph Joachim Tugas de Leon (born January 8, 1973), better known as Keempee de Leon, is a Filipino actor, comedian, singer, songwriter and TV host.
He started his career in the entertainment industry in 1988 via the Viva Films film I Love You 3x a Day, where he was paired with Gelli de Belen and worked with soon-to-be-co-host of Eat Bulaga!, Jimmy Santos.
Soon after, he became a regular fixture in three TV shows: Eat Bulaga!, That's Entertainment and Agila.
In April 1989, he signed his first recording contract with OctoArts International (now PolyEast Records).
In 1990, he was a subject of a tug-of-war between Regal Films and Viva Films when Regal got Keempee to appear as lead role in the romantic comedy movie Romeo Loves Juliet opposite Aiko Melendez.
In the end, Keempee chose to remain with Viva Films and signed a contract.
In 1992, he was launched as a junior action star via the movie Jesus dela Cruz at ang mga Batang Riles with Ana Roces as his leading lady.
The action film was a mild success and it was followed up with Blue Jeans Gang with Dennis Padilla and Leah Orosa as co-stars.
However, unlike Batang Riles, Blue Jeans Gang was a flop at the box-office.
De Leon openly admitted to the public in 1993 that he became a victim of drug abuse and as a result, he underwent rehabilitation at New Beginnings in Sucat, Parañaque.
Despite this however, he managed to finish two big movies before he went on sabbatical.
After his rehabilitation, he became a member of Victory Christian Fellowship while resuming his stalled showbiz career in 1994.
He had his biggest break on TV by playing a leading role in GMA's Villa Quintana with Donna Cruz as his leading lady.
He is a former VIVA contract star along with other members of That's Entertainment with Donna Cruz, Jessa Zaragosa, Vina Morales and others.
He became Best Drama Actor for Villa Quintana in Star Awards for television.
He was also a co-host in GMA Supershow from 1995 to 1997 and a gag performer in IBC 13's Goin' Bayabas, a remake of the '80s gag show Goin' Bananas in 1998.
In 2002, after he graduated and finished his studies at college, he returned to the small screen via ABS-CBN's Klasmeyts and Recuerdo de Amor, but in 2004, he returned to GMA Network where he was signed up to portray the gay Harold in Bahay Mo Ba 'To?.
Their tandem became a hit and he continued playing gay roles in the reality sitcom Kung Ako Ikaw and in films.
He also returned to comedy film for his comeback movie, Iskul Bukol: 20 Years After, an official entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival, together with Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and his father, Joey de Leon.
After LaLola, he plays Paul in the Philippine remake of Korean drama All About Eve.
Keempee co-hosts a singing competition Are You The Next Big Star? where he works with famous singer, Regine Velasquez.
In 2013, he appeared in the TV series My Husband's Lover where he portrayed Zandro Soriano.
Netizens laud Keempee for Zandro role in My Husband's Lover.
In the series, Zandro is the cross dresser cousin of Vincent Tom Rodriguez, who is a closet bisexual at this point in the story.
Zandro's and Vincent's dads are both "allergic" to having gay members in the family but Vincent's father, Gen. Armando Soriano, a retired general, is more vocal – and violent – with regard to the issue.
However, he stayed with GMA Network from 2015 to 2018 as he appeared on the network's different soap operas.
His most notable latest works were Little Nanay, where he got to work for the first time with the Superstar Nora Aunor; and Meant to Be where he worked for the first time with former That's Entertainment cast members, most notably Manilyn Reynes and Janno Gibbs.
In March 2016, he was expelled from Eat Bulaga! after 14 years of hosting.
In 2018, he transferred back to ABS-CBN where he reunited with erstwhile girlfriend Cristine Reyes in the drama Nang Ngumiti ang Langit in 2019.
In 2020, De Leon became part of the drama series, Bagong Umaga with co stars former PBB housemates Heaven Peralejo and Barbie Imperial.
