The winner of “I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here!” is… Lou Diamond Phillips
Hello peeps! Ha! He’s now being referred to as “Lou Diamond Phillips – King of the Jungle”! He won on the reality show, “I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here!” beating two other celebrities, John Salley and Torrie Wilson according to reports by CNN.
I’m specially proud of Lou Diamond Phillips because as you all know, he is Filipino. He was born as Lou Diamond Upchurch at the (then) Subic Bay Naval Station in Zambales, Philippines. His father was an American with a mixture of Scottish, Cherokee and Hawaiian descent and his mother was Filipina of Spanish, Chinese and Japanese descent – according to Wikipedia.
Further reports on CNN.com states that he has chosen to give part of his prize money to a charity called “Art has Heart Foundation”. The foundation provides assistance to High School students from lower income families.
He became famous from his roles in Young Guns, Courage Under fire.. and most notably as Ritchie Valens from the movie, “La Bamba” in 1987.
Way to go Lou!
