Josh Ford was born on March 12, 2003, in Portsmouth, England and is of British and Filipino descent. He was raised in a middle-class household by his Filipino mother, a single parent, and has a brother and two sisters. He participated in school plays and local theater productions during his childhood. After completing his schooling in England, his family relocated to Quezon City, Philippines, to reconnect with their Filipino heritage.[1][2]

He briefly attended Quezon City Science High School for Grades 7 and 8 before pursuing his acting career.[3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Ford began his entertainment career as a child star, appearing in various commercials for prominent brands in the Philippines.[1] In 2015, he portrayed the young version of Clark Medina, a character played by James Reid, in the popular ABS-CBN television drama series On the Wings of Love. The following year, he appeared in the romantic drama film This Time, playing the younger version of Coby Martinez, a role also played by Reid.[4]

In 2017, Ford took a brief hiatus from the entertainment industry and relocated to the United Kingdom[2][5] with his family following his father's death.[6] He returned to the Philippines and joined Sparkle GMA Artist Center in 2023.[7] His comeback was marked by roles in several television series including Luv Is: Love at First Read (2023)[8] as Razille Traijin Train Zapusumo and Jose & Maria's Bonggang Villa (2024)[9] as Gio Wagas. In 2025, he participated as a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, where he represented the United Kingdom with the moniker "Ang Survivor Lad ng United Kingdom."[5][10] He was evicted on Day 63, alongside duo-partner Ralph de Leon, finishing 13th overall in the season.[11]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Ford took a break from acting[1] when his family moved to the United Kingdom after his father's passing in 2017.[12] Following his father's death, he took time to grieve and support his family before deciding to return to the Philippines to pursue his acting career.[6]

On March 24, 2023, Ford was involved in a tragic car accident in Quezon City that claimed the lives of fellow Sparkle artist Andrei Sison, driver Paolo Bueza, and another passenger, Arman Velasco. Ford was the sole survivor of the crash.[13][6] Reflecting on the incident during a conversation with Pinoy Big Brother host Gabbi Garcia, he expressed profound grief over the loss of his friends, whom he considered family.[14]
