Early life
Paras was born on November 1, 1995 in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines to PBA legend Benjie Paras and actress Jackie Forster. He also has a younger brother, Kobe, who also plays basketball.
Basketball career
Paras played for La Salle Greenhills in high school. In college, he played for the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons like his father. In 2014, Paras transferred from University of the Philippines to San Beda College with the intention of playing for the San Beda Red Lions. After a year of studying in UP and playing as a rookie for the UP Fighting Maroons, he opted to transfer for not being able to balance his studies and acting career due to his hectic work schedule in his drama series The Half Sisters. He also said that although it was his dream to study in UP, he didn’t want to have a bad reputation in the university.
Paras also said that his departure from the UP didn’t become an issue between him and his erstwhile teammates. The 6-foot-5 Andre will be joining San Beda, which has won four straight NCAA titles, after going through a winless season with the UP Fighting Maroons the prior season. Paras would then quit school to pursue an acting career.
Acting career
Paras debut series became one of his biggest breaks when he appeared in the fantasy-drama series Elena M. Patron's Blusang Itim in a supporting role. He became a GMA Network contract artist in 2011 and a regular performer in Sunday All Stars.
On 2014, together with co-stars Nadine Lustre, James Reid & Yassi Pressman, Paras starred as Chad Jimenez in the Diary ng Panget, a 2014 Filipino teen romantic comedy film based on the popular best-selling book of the same name written and published on Wattpad by Denny R.
