“To tell the truth, there are roles where I can only fulfill my duties because I’m not the main character, so I’m just a background for others,” said actor Binh An.
Recently, Binh An’s life and work seem to be more sublimated after marrying runner-up Phuong Nga. After many roles that still have not really won the hearts of the audience, recently, Binh An has made a strong impression with the role of Khoi in Don’t Be A Mother.
Many people say that Binh An is more mature and acts better after getting married. When he asked Binh An about this, he laughed and shared candidly about his new life and career ambitions.
Getting married feels more responsible
How is Binh An’s life after marrying runner-up Phuong Nga? Are the two “out of phase” each other?
I’ve only been married for half a year, but I think 30 or 40 years from now will still be compatible (laughs).
When he was a single guy and when he was married, how did Binh An see life differently?
In fact, there are many differences and the biggest difference is that doing everything is more purposeful and clearer. For example, when I was a teenager, outside of working time, my life was very free. And now, even if I go away on business, I still try to come home because my wife and three cats are always waiting for me (laughs).
Perhaps that’s the biggest difference for me, which is to be more responsible and family-oriented in whatever I do.
Recently, Binh An impressed with the role of Khoi in the movie Don’t Be Angry. Many viewers commented that, since getting married, he acted deeper and more real. What does Binh An think about this comment?
I think getting married is also a part, but the most important thing is to meet a good script, a good role for me to show my ability. To be honest, there are roles that I can only fulfill my duties because I’m not the main character, so I’m just a background for others.
As for the role of Khoi in Don’t Be Angry, he is a very good character. A role I was created, was free to fly. With the acting profession, I think that if I give my best, be dedicated, at some point, I will be compensated by the results. And the role of Khoi is a worthy result for my efforts.
Ambition to play the main role, win the Golden Kite
In his acting career, Binh An was chosen many times to play the main role such as My First Love, but then he was ready to play supporting roles in other films. Why so?
Acting in a movie is like when everyone is a boss at one agency but moving to another agency, it may just be an employee. I may have played the lead role, but there is no “VFC universe”, only the short film Love Than The Sky is 4 episodes long. So far, I have never played a main role in VFC, and will soon be a supporting role.
I think it doesn’t matter if you do your best with the job, it doesn’t matter. It’s important to get to work. I consider myself quite lucky because there are a lot of actors who have worked harder than me, but they have not yet achieved success and I am only a small, supporting role, but also have my own successes. It’s my luck and I need to try harder.
But I also have to set a goal that one day I will be in the lead role, will win the VTV Awards, the Kite for Best Actor category.
Currently, romantic movies are very popular, Binh An also emerged thanks to this film line. However, now that you are married, if you receive an invitation to this genre, are you ready to participate again?
As an actor, there’s nothing to be shy about, but for now I’m going to choose roles that are a little more creative. For me now the goal is a villain and passion is definitely related to love while I want to be the bad guy (laughs).
Playing the villain, isn’t Binh An afraid of being hated?
I’ve experienced a lot of different emotions in my life, also experienced a lot of roles with mixed opinions from the audience, so now when I work, I’m not afraid anymore.
