Desmond Tan is a well-known actor, fashion horseback rider, and loving dog owner. But it turns out that’s only scratching the surface. The 37-year-old revealed in a scientific self-assessment that he is” about 100 % Malaysian boy- next door” and, wait for it,” 40 percent beng.”
In fact, when he played a struggling job drifter who finally succeeds in the upcoming new drama All That Glitters, thus” ah beng” that even his coworkers did not recognize him. In the drama, the character eventually becomes wealthy but at the expense of his interpersonal relationships.
He dressed in a grey polo t-shirt, loose-fitting jeans, fanny pack, chains, and an ring for his writer’s stay as an air conditioner handyman,” generally having an F4 or Ekin Cheng sort of vibe.” He remarked,” People actually believed I was there to correct the aircon.”
” My wife makes fun of the way I talk and walk in my flip flops when we go to the market ,” even in real life. Can you not been so ba in the way you walk, she asks. I respond,” I don’t understand leh, this is me, what.”
People occasionally feel like I’m very far from them because of” my job and my relationship with great style, and how people see me through social press and photographs ,” he reflected. However, the truth is that one of his favorite pastimes is to” walk through the wet market, buy groceries ,” and converse with the meat and vegetable vendors. This is similar to a ministerial meet-and-greet, but without the kissing of infants.
He jokingly remarked,” I often tell my wife that if I weren’t an actor, I could see myself becoming a politician.” ” As an entrepreneur, I like to converse with people, make them smile, and tickle their heads a little … like in the general election or the national election!”
And what would his campaign slogan been if he were running for president?
” A fruits would be my mark!” He spoke up right away. And while attempting to start the fireplace, he declared,” I will see to it that we have a public holiday called Barbecue Day.” He then launched into an extended political tirade about how picnics in East Coast Park bring people from all walks of life together.
Okay, Desmond, you have our support.
Not all of those glitterers are metal.
