Sebastian Castro came out as gay on the Filipino podcast "Beki Nights" shortly after releasing his viral music video. When asked why he chose to come out on the GMA Network show H.O.T. TV, he responded, “I know there are lots of people out there that are scared to be themselves."
In 2014, Sebastian Castro and former ABS-CBN reporter Ryan Chua publicly acknowledged their relationship over social media. Castro made the announcement during a trip to London, where Ryan was undergoing a master's program at the City University of London. After a public 4-year relationship, the two separated in September 2017.
On February 14, 2013, Castro's first music video, "Bubble", appeared on YouTube, quickly garnering over 3 million views. Bubble further popularized the dance crazy "Bubble Pop," particularly in the Philippines. The music video was Sebastian Castro's "coming out." Prior to releasing the homo-erotic "Bubble" music video, Castro was not publicly open about his sexuality.
Castro has landed several major product endorsements in South-East Asia, including Jollibee, Pantene Hair, and Sun Cellular. He was featured among the Philippine Cosmopolitan Bachelors of 2012 and is currently an endorser of Blued and Cathy Valencia, a Philippine-based skin care brand.
After being cast in several minor and supporting roles on TV and Film over the course of 5 years, Sebastian Castro appeared in his first lead role in the full feature film "4 Days" (2017), an independent film by Filipino director Adolfo Alix Jr.
