Actress Thúy Diễm shared some humorous comments when her husband, Lương Thế Thành, was criticized by viewers for his villainous role in the film "The Ghost of Happiness," asserting that this was a success for the actor.
Actor Luong The Thanh is currently the center of attention for his role as an unfaithful husband in the hit TV series "The Ghost of Happiness." Following strong reactions from viewers towards the character, his wife, actress Thuy Diem, has officially spoken out about the family's reaction and their shared professional views.
Thúy Diễm's unexpected reaction when her husband played a villain.
According to Thúy Diễm, in recent days she has been constantly receiving messages and comments from viewers "telling" her about Lương Thế Thành's infidelity on screen. Many viewers even recorded scenes from the film and sent the clips to her privately, asking her to "deal with" her husband.
In response to this situation, the actress expressed her sympathy and humorously noted that Luong The Thanh was somewhat hesitant and "silent" for fear of being criticized by his wife when his character became disliked by the audience. However, Thuy Diem affirmed that she fully supports her husband in his work. After more than 10 years together, both understand the unique nature of acting, which requires diverse transformations according to the script.
The difference between characters in movies and real life.
Thúy Diễm emphasized that the strong negative reaction to the character was proof of Lương Thế Thành's acting success. She encouraged her husband to continue challenging himself with difficult roles and not be afraid to change his image because of public pressure.
Notably, the actress also revealed that their everyday life is still very happy. She shared that Luong The Thanh is always a thoughtful husband, taking good care of her, especially during periods when she is busy with a packed filming schedule or has unstable health. Thuy Diem told her husband that as long as he is "really well-behaved in real life" and a model father, she will always support him wholeheartedly.
The controversial plot of the film Happy Ghost
In "The Ghost of Happiness," Luong The Thanh plays Hoang Dung, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect marriage to his wife Thanh Mai (played by Le Phuong). However, tragedy begins when Hoang Dung develops an extramarital affair with Nhu Trang (played by Ngan Hoa) - the daughter of a deceased friend whom his family had once taken in.
The intimate scenes between Hoang Dung and the "third party" caused immense outrage among viewers, leading to a strong wave of criticism on social media platforms. Despite the controversial content, the film still achieved high viewership ratings thanks to its exploration of realistic themes such as family conflicts, mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationships, and the hidden aspects of modern marriage.
Luong The Thanh's transformation into villainous roles has been recognized by both critics and audiences as an impressive step forward, helping the actor break away from his familiar image of kind, virtuous characters.
