Day 7 - My Favorite Actor

I’m late again, I’m so sorry. But here we go with day 7! And, I’m gonna be a good girl and for once not talk about CQL, even though Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo ARE my favorite actors, but there is also this other guy who 100% deserves to be named on this day:

Gun Atthaphan

And here’s why...

The thing is, he’s... SUPER VERSATILE and a FANTASTIC ACTOR. Usually you see him in tv series, or movies or in interviews or whatever, and you think, “Heh, what a cute little guy.” Because he looks totally underage and is always at least one head shorter than all the other guys around. And they’ll treat him like the cute little kid as well. Like in this pic here (I don’t even know where that’s from, but that’s what he usually looks like):

However, looks are so deceiving, he’s definitely older than you’d guess. He’s currently 27 and almost everybody he works with refers to him as “P’ “ because he’s one of the oldest GMM25 actors.

And, while he usually looks cute and innocent and does play a lot of cutesy teen-targeted roles that make use of this quality,

he also totally rocks the psychotic, insane roles. For example he’s a psycho killer who murders his entire family in the Blue Hour. And he also didn’t shy away from taking on his role in super independent movies such as Bittersweet Chocolate (I’ve watched it and I still don’t understand what really happened in that one, but he basically gets pimped out to people and gets high with another guy in a bathtub)...

...and its sequel Playboy and the Gang of Cherry, which... won an award at a porn festival (because, yes, it is porn). Before you ask, no, Gun has no part in the porn (unless you count the scene where his film-mom masturbates right next to him - thankfully he does not participate). Anyway, it is just a super weird and completely fucked up movie if you ask me. And Gun plays a guy who is willing to kill just about anybody in this one.

Do I recommend these movies? NO, they are definitely not worth watching. Super weird stories, super confusing - and I usually like artsy thought-provoking movies, but those are just... no. Unless you want to see Gun acting in a different kind of role, and trust me, he does shine in those, maybe even more so than in his better known roles. He really sells the craziness. Which, I mean... not many could do. It’s super impressive and that’s why I mentioned those roles even though I do not like the movies in the slightest.

I have a feeling that he picks his roles not by overall story or chance of success, but rather based on if he likes the people he works with.

Anyway, so, if you wanna see a bit of a mix of cute and crazy Gun, I recommend the Gifted where he plays a guy with a literally split personality. Seriously, great show, not BL though.

And if you want to see him in a good show, without the crazy but also great acting, I highly recommend Theory of Love. In which he suffers so much, omg there are so many tears, but it’s so good and he is so amazing in it. Like, seriously, if you haven’t seen that series, go and watch it RIGHT NOW.

If you don’t believe me, watch this scene here from episode 1, starting at 1:06.

In case you wanna know the context: Khai (Off Jumpol) cancelled a friend date with Third (Gun) claiming to have family obligations. Third, who has been in love with Khai for a long time, believed it but then a friend told him that it was probably a lie and Khai cancelled because he wanted to be with a girl. Third goes to the mall to check if it’s true, and Khai is nowhere to be seen, so Third ends up getting something to eat before heading home. Then, he bumps into Khai who is with a girl, and it’s clear that Khai has indeed lied to him.

This scene really shows what a great actor Gun is, because he has almost no lines and it’s such a small moment and brief interaction. He just stares at Khai in realization, and when Khai wishes him a nice evening, he just nods and lets them walk away while fighting tears. I have never before seen anybody bite into food while portraying a broken heart so perfectly that it hurts to watch. I don’t know guys. I just think that Gun is an amazing actor.
