Sam Milby was one of the mostly-applauded celebrities at the Bench underwear and denim fashion show last July 25 at the Araneta Coliseum. Girlfriend Anne Curtis was in the audience seated next to Georgina Wilson (Richard Gutierrez’s ex), Liz Uy (John Lloyd Cruz's GF), and another friend. When it was time for Sam to walk the runway, Anne and her girlfriends stood up and cheered for him--and so did the rest of the Araneta crowd. The Dyosa Actress Anne also revealed how she's amazed by Sam's toned physique, which has been shown on billboards along Edsa.

ABS-CBN.com got an exclusive pass backstage to talk to Sam about his well-applauded appearance. The heartthrob said he had a great time and added, "[It was] Nerve-wracking, but exciting at the same time. I'm the nervous type. Sa harap ng maraming tao, kinakabahan ako. [But tonight] I felt confident. I've been trying to work hard to be in shape. It was fun and exciting at the same time." Sam said he also saw Anne and her friends cheering for him. "I saw her at the sidelines kanina. They were crazy. But it's nice to see them there."

Sam revealed that he didn't have that much time to prepare for the show. "Just this week lang, I've been trying to work out a little bit." But that little bit was enough to get powerhouse couple Kris Aquino and James Yap’s approval. When asked who she thought had the best body on stage and Kris said, "Pareho kami ni James, we both agreed na it's Sam. He had a great body talaga." Sam was speechless upon learning about Kris’s compliment, but was happy that people were pleased with walk down the ramp.
