Personal life

Maria Chriselle Elisse Joson Diuco was born in Balanga, Bataan. She is the only daughter of an anesthesiologist and single mother, Christine Joson, and an estranged father. She attended Bataan Montessori School during her elementary school years.

At a young age of 7, Joson attended various acting and singing workshops where she was deemed to be shy. Joson's family later migrated from the Philippines to the United States and lived there for a few years. She attended Inderkum High School during her high school years in Sacramento, California. While living there, she experienced bullying for not being able to speak English fluently. This experience, however, allowed her to gain confidence in herself. Upon moving back to Manila, she used this newly found confidence and fully pursued her passion for acting. At 16, she then became one of ABS-CBN's pool of Star Magic artists and she enrolled in Quezon City Science High School finishing with honors.

She studied AB Fashion Design and Merchandising at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. Her interest for fashion is influenced by the works of Alexander McQueen. [1] Elisse is in a relationship with her screen partner McCoy de Leon. They have one daughter together, Felize de Leon, which was introduced on Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10 .

Career

Joson began in the local entertainment industry at the age of 16. In 2012, she was the leading lady of singer Jovit Baldivino, in the music video of the latter's song, "Tell Me". [2] In 2013, she became a familiar face as she appeared in various shows and dramas as a supporting actress, such as Cheska in the daytime television series Be Careful With My Heart . [3] She also starred as Erica in the primetime TV series Sana Bukas pa ang Kahapon starring Bea Alonzo and Paulo Avelino.

In 2014, she starred as one of the 'mean girls' in the teen romantic, comedy-drama film, She's Dating the Gangster starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

In 2015, she made her first digital movie (Indie film) Saranghaeyo #Ewankosau with Barbie Forteza and Francis Magundayao. [4] The film recognized her as one of the nominees for the 'New Movie Actress of the Year' category in the 32nd PMPC Star Awards for Movies.

She then became a part of the teen-oriented show Luv U as Divina and the primetime television series You're My Home as Alexis Madrigal. [5]

Her biggest break in the entertainment industry was her McDonald's Philippines TV ad in 2016. The fast food chain's campaign, "Tuloy Pa Rin," promoted the concept of welcoming change and moving forward after a heartbreak to ultimately become a stronger and more independent individual. Due to its relatable "hugot" appeal, the ad went viral worldwide. It currently holds almost 2 million views on YouTube. In the same year, Joson became a part of the "lucky" group of housemates in the reality TV series Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky Season 7 . [6]

She joined the extended cast of FPJ's Ang Probinsyano in 2016, where she played the role of Lorraine, the cousin of SPO2 Jerome Gerona Jr. played by John Prats. [7] In 2017, Joson joined the ensemble cast of the drama series The Good Son . Shortly after, she played Roxanne in the series Ngayon at Kailanman , the childhood friend and love interest of the lead actor and her The Good Son co-star Joshua Garcia.

Joson starred in the TV series Sandugo as Grace Policarpio, the love interest of the characters of Ejay Falcon and Aljur Abrenica.

In 2023, she starred as the antagonist in the TV series Dirty Linen and played the main antagonist in the afternoon drama series Pira-Pirasong Paraiso .
