He hasn’t always been an actor
This might come as a surprise to some of us, but Bright didn’t start his career as an actor. Instead, the first role he landed was as a variety show host at the age of 15 after being scouted and invited to an audition, which marked his debut in the entertainment industry. Little did he know that it would ignite the spark that first provided an outlet for his talent, making him into the star he is today.
He is destined for music

It seems that Bright has a natural affinity for music. Coming from a musically inclined family who owned a music school, he has been exposed to music from a very young age. This has proven to be a very lucrative aspect in his life considering the career path he now takes, as it made learning musical instruments especially accessible to him.

In August 2022, Burberry officially named Bright as one of their global brand ambassadors, making him the first from the South Asia Pacific region to join the family. The news, however, didn’t strike most of us as utterly unexpected. Prior to the announcement, he had already collaborated with the British luxury fashion house on numerous occasions, including his attendance at the Burberry pop-up event at Tanjong Beach Club in Singapore just a few weeks earlier. On July 8, an Instagram post showed him visiting the Burberry Summer Pop-Up store in Siam Paragon shopping mall, Bangkok.
He identifies as a workaholic
Bright never fails to exude a laid-back energy with his enviable charisma. Yet, in his interview with Vogue Hong Kong, he reveals that he is in fact a workaholic who finds it difficult to stay still. With his growing fame which shows no signs of slowing down, he currently juggles multiple jobs including being an actor, singer, as well as a businessman. While he loves his career, he admits that nowadays his life is “full of speed”. He looks forward to living a more relaxed and tranquil life one day, which is what he envisions for himself by the time he turns 35 in 10 years time.
He always brings his role to life

Here is an acting tip for you to take away. In an interview with Her World, he expressed his belief as a flourishing actor that within every role he plays embeds a part of him. He finds it impossible to embody a character without first relating to them on a personal level. For instance, the role of Sarawat which he played in “2gether” taught him the virtue of loving unconditionally, given the genuine and pure-hearted disposition of the character.
He is a keen advocator of sustainability

You probably thought that acting and singing would leave him with just about enough on his plate, but Bright is also one for fashion, sustainability, and using his fame for altruistic causes. In 2020, he launched his own sustainable fashion brand: “Astro Stuffs”. He has always enjoyed the privilege of being able to dressing well, but entering the film industry has doubtlessly introduced him to a wider variety of clothing styles, though his penchant for vintage and retro-style pieces prevails.
