Gong Yoo

Growing up I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, I watched big stars like Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung on the big screens. ”

I had a lot of friends who dreamed of being actors, and as I hung out with them, I became more interested in it. ”

I never thought about becoming an actor. Even when I applied for university, I didn't choose theater as a major to become an actor. ”

The camera, I hate it. That's something I need to endure while working as an actor. In the end, because of fame, Gong Yoo exists. It's the driving force that keeps me going. ”

I'm now in my late 30s, and I've been thinking a lot about marriage and family. To be honest, I've decided to push aside thoughts of marriage and personal questions for now. ”

I have become more and more afraid about marriage and parenting. I think it's because I am getting older. Of course, there will be a lot to learn, and I also know that the experience will help in my acting. ”

When I become a character in a movie or drama... I can think about the character only and not the complicated matters of my own life. ”

I like going out to have street food without being disturbed. I like taking walks, but it's been so long since I've been able to do that. I miss feeling what I want to feel and walking around freely in crowded places. ”

As an actor, you have to face the public all the time. It is a job that people fantasies, but it also creates prejudices; these prejudices are the scariest things. People judge a personal life or your image, and it can affect the characters I play. Therefore, I try not to showcase my personal life too much. ”

I don't know if this is because I'm a bit too old, but it is true that I'm getting insensible about romance recently. I'm very used to being alone now, and I don't think that's not half bad. ”
