Euwenn Mikaell Carreon Aleta (born January 14, 2013) is a Filipino actor. He is best known for his portrayal of the title character of "Tonton" in the drama film Firefly (2023), for which he won the Best Child Performer award, in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival making him the youngest-ever winner in that category.[1] For that same film, he also won the 72nd FAMAS Awards on May 26, 2024, 7:00 p.m., at the Fiesta Pavillon, Manila Hotel for Best Child Actor,[2] his fourth major award[3] in just six months, after winning the 2024 Box Office Entertainment Awards as Most Popular Child Performer of the Year. He won the 2024 Movie Child Performer of the Year in the 40th PMPC Star Awards for Movies at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, Ateneo de Manila University, thus winning the Philippine movie grand slam.
He is one of the 48 Sparkle GMA Artist Center's 2023 "Signed for Stardom" artists.[4]
Aleta breathes life to Firefly creating it as an ode to courageous storytellers. As young Ton Ton, Euwenn's perfect and mystical displays of affection, grief, courage, fear, and faith becomes parallel if not superior, to have humbled established co-actors Dingdong Dantes, Alessandra de Rossi, and Cherry Pie Picache.[5]
