Actor Luu Duy Khanh: I'm not afraid to make my lover public

Luu Duy Khanh (born 1997) has participated in many TV drama projects that have attracted a large audience such as: The Judge, Fate's Choice, Sunflower Against the Sun, Village Street ...

Recently, he has been considered a favorite face in the movie Father's Gift with his co-star Thu Ha Ceri. The younger brother of actress Luu Huyen Trang shared the most honest things with Dan Tri reporter about this role.

Confused with the new role

Playing the role of a 20-year-old young man living in the countryside with a rather naive personality, how did Duy Khanh prepare for the movie "Father's Gift"?

- Honestly, this role is a bit strange for me personally because the audience already knows me through previous films such as Battle of the Mind, Mirror Mask, Village Street ... with the image of a people's police officer who is always white, neat in appearance, and has slightly shiny hair.

As for Father's Gift , my real age this year is 26 years old, 5-6 years older than Hieu, so I had to try to disguise myself to look younger but dress as simply as possible to suit the village setting.

At first, when I knew I had to be dark in the new movie, every morning I jogged, exercised, and sunbathed for an hour in the park. Or, on days when I was physically tired, I would sit in the sun without doing anything. I was shirtless, wearing only shorts, exposing every part of my body to be as dark as possible on film. Luckily, I didn’t have a fever or cold, but the first 1 or 2 days I was quite tired, maybe due to dehydration.

Did Khanh know how to drive a truck before acting?

- In the movie, I really drove. Actually, I had not yet learned to drive, but the movie required the actors to drive, so at first, I was a bit worried because I did not know how to drive. After that, thanks to my father who is a "driver", he taught me how to drive in his free time.

Also, my girlfriend knows how to drive and she has a car. So whenever I have time, I will borrow my sister's car and ask my dad to teach me or my girlfriend to show me how to drive a few laps in a deserted area. When filming, the driving scenes are actually not many and not difficult.

For this film, for me personally, I prepared more than my previous projects. In the films where I played a police officer, I had experience and had an idea of ​​what a soldier would look like, so the preparation of the character's costume, demeanor, and psychology was also shortened.

When it comes to professional preparation, do you find it difficult?

- When the audience watches the movie, the character Hieu in the movie does not have a completely peaceful life. He also has conflicts with his two older siblings.

When such a climax occurs, I have to prepare myself mentally quite deeply, have to think about how the character's psychology will develop, understand the character's mood and express each sentence and word. Because this type of role has a different way of thinking from the previous types of roles I have done, it also took me time to get used to it.

When I got to the set, thanks to the guidance of the directors and production team, I was more prepared. In addition, depending on the surrounding factors, props and the juggling of the actors, we would have to respond to the script immediately, the feeling was not the same as if I practiced at home. But I was not afraid of any scene.

From your perspective, what was the most difficult scene to film among the scenes that have been shown on television?

- For me, it was the scene where the siblings argued when they found out Hieu bought a truck to start a business. The scenes with his father were mainly emotional and gentle, while with the character Ninh "loe", most of the scenes were cheerful and youthful.

The scene of arguing with his brother and sister on the anniversary of his mother's death was a psychologically difficult one to film. Because, when he accidentally revealed that he bought a truck, and even used his father's savings to buy it, Hieu was both shy and embarrassed in front of his brother and sister. Previously, Hieu was already afraid of Mr. Nghia and Ms. Thao, so his mood suddenly became insecure and confused, not knowing how to react. Therefore, I had to show other logical moods that followed.

What do the character Hieu and actor Luu Duy Khanh have in common in real life?

- I am an outgoing and cheerful person, but Hieu is only 30% like me. Hieu is not outgoing but has a cheerful personality. Another difference is that we are emotional and care about the people around us.

Working for the first time with "seniors" in the profession like actress Thanh Tu or Meritorious Artist Vo Hoai Nam, did Khanh feel confused?

- Luckily, the first time I worked with Ms. Thanh Tu or Mr. Nam, the "seniors" always chatted happily, thereby creating a good feeling for all the actors to work together easily. Mr. Nam's personality is inherently cheerful and sociable, Ms. Thanh Tu is the same. Therefore, I did not feel any barriers or age gaps, I was able to keep up with the pace of the film.

Even Ms. Minh Hoa, Ms. Huong Giang or Mr. Tuan Tu, all the actors are gentle and devoted to teaching their children. I think that not only myself but also other young people receive full support from their "seniors" and positive energy from them.

As for actor Vo Hoai Nam, do you have any memorable memories?

- I remember during breaks, Nam's father often came up with ideas to film TikTok. One special thing about this film is that he started playing TikTok and this account increased its followers quite quickly. At that time, he didn't know about this video platform, so every time he waited to film, he would play games and just sit in one place, looking quite sad.

Since learning about TikTok, whenever I have free time, when the director calls "cut", my dad takes out his phone, edits the clip, and asks everyone in the crew how to edit it. There were even times when the two of us were talking to each other, my dad suddenly came up with an idea and asked me to film a clip (laughs).

Respect professional relationships

So with your co-star, Thu Ha Ceri, what is your secret to creating such good "chemistry"?

- The biggest thing we have in common is our youthfulness. Besides, Thu Ha and I did not discuss with each other beforehand how to create an effective "chemical reaction". I think the current audience's affection for us is due to our charm as actors and the loveliness of the pair of characters.

And these two characters seem to be built as a childhood couple, Ninh "loe" is very interested in Hieu but he doesn't pay attention yet so there will be funny and sad stories surrounding them. We simply stick to the script to act.

Are you two afraid of "fake love"?

- I have always affirmed that Thu Ha and I are just colleagues, we have our own lives, I have a girlfriend and Thu Ha has a boyfriend. I respect professional relationships, I never want to let emotions get mixed up with work. I always tell myself that this job is more sensitive and harsh than other professions, so whatever I do, I have to think about the people at home, so when appearing on platforms, I always keep my distance from Thu Ha.

However, for an actor in his prime like Khanh, is it disadvantageous to make his lover public?

- Honestly, I'm not afraid. I always believe that everything I do is for my family. If I say that publicly revealing my lover affects my work, in this acting profession, people will only think that it upsets my female fans.

I am very grateful for the audience's affection, but I also hope to receive love and support as an actor with my contributions on the artistic path. Not only me, my "seniors" are all very happy with their families, so what?

Having an older sister, actress Luu Huyen Trang, as a colleague in the house, does Khanh feel pressured?

- In return, I feel lucky and happy to have Trang to share the joys and sorrows of the profession. Sometimes, I also ask her about the movie script. My parents always support their children to do what they like.

Thanks for the chat!
