Ly Hung: 45 years old and still single because he hasn't gotten over Y Phung

The Vietnamese cinema world is very familiar with the name Ly Hung. In the 90s, the golden age of instant noodle films, Ly Hung set a record for being the actor with the most leading roles.

He has had over 30 love affairs… in movies with actors and beauty queens. His love affairs on screen sometimes make the audience cry, sometimes they are very intense and dramatic. However, in real life, his love affairs are a “silent moment” that not many people know about.

First love has fate but not destiny

When talking about the beauties who have accompanied Ly Hung, many audiences will immediately remember the famous beauties of the screen at that time such as Thu Ha, Diem Huong, Viet Trinh, Y Phung, Ly Thu Thao... Receiving us in his small house which is also his family's film studio (located on 3/2 Street, District 10), Ly Hung laughed heartily when he heard the names of these beauties mentioned. He said: "Coupling with them is not only interesting but I also feel very happy. My friends when they meet me on the street say that Ly Hung is the happiest, he hugs every young and beautiful girl he meets. I just laugh because that is very normal in the profession."

The story of “fake love in movies, real love in movies” in the acting world has never been rare. Of course, an actor who holds the record for the most leading roles, is most famous for his “white horse” roles and has had more than 30 lovers on screen like Ly Hung is no exception. However, in real life, Ly Hung only has one girlfriend, the famous actress Y Phung.

Until now, Ly Hung rarely talks about the past because he is secretive and does not want to affect others. However, when mentioning the love that has been buried deep in his memory, he also sadly exclaimed: "Well, let's let it go with time. Everything now is just beautiful memories. Y Phung and I loved each other for 4 years but many family problems prevented us from being together. I am very regretful but that is also fate. The ancients have a saying: If fate is destined, we will meet even a thousand miles apart. When fate comes again, I will love. For now, I want to focus on work and family."

Believing that love is a result of fate, Ly Hung does not place much importance on finding a lover. According to his concept, anything that comes quickly will end quickly. Therefore, to love someone, he must consider carefully. He shared: “Hung is not a picky person but also does not like to be easy in love. For Hung, love must always have the parallel of both reason and the emotions of the heart. Hung can love wholeheartedly if that person knows how to care, share, understand and appreciate family values”.

Diem Huong is just a close colleague

Although he rarely meets the beauties he once worked with, Ly Hung still remembers the memories of filming. With Diem Huong, he remembers most when he co-starred in two films, Pham Cong Cuc Hoa and Thang Long De Nhat Kiem. At that time, both of them were still young. The romantic scenes when he played Nguyen The Trung in Thang Long De Nhat Kiem made him unforgettable: “The scene where I flew up and danced with the sword, causing the apricot blossoms to fall down. She looked at me and clapped her hands. At night, we sat and talked about how the next morning Huong would go to China to follow King Le Chieu Thong. She hugged me and cried. In that scene, Diem Huong really cried and I felt so sorry for her! At the end of the scene, we looked at each other and smiled. She wiped her tears and said she was so into it! The loving audience thought we were husband and wife. Back then, at the end of every year, we often took calendar photos, with our two children beside us. Actually, Diem Huong and I were just colleagues.”

Ly Hung also added that before, when she was famous, Diem Huong only went to film and then went home, not going out. After that, the beauty left the screen and lived a closed life with her family. Since then, he has not seen his co-star again, but he still knows that Huong has a husband and 4 children.

In contrast to the gentle, introverted Diem Huong, Viet Trinh is known as a sharp, strong woman. Although he rarely interacts with Viet Trinh in real life, when she encounters storms, Ly Hung still wholeheartedly shares with her.

He believes that the scandals that Viet Trinh has with her rich lovers are the responsibility of everyone. “It’s not because people know her that they get into trouble like that. Everyone has their own fate. If Viet Trinh was guilty, she wouldn’t be able to survive like she is now. Public opinion is too cruel. The story of a man who plays and takes responsibility shouldn’t be blamed on others,” he said.

Recently, Ly Hung has acted in films with new young and beautiful actresses such as Dinh Ngoc Diep, Thanh Truc... Although he has acted in films with many young and beautiful girls from both generations of cinema, Ly Hung has not yet found his other half. "Everyone wants to have their own family to share with, to return to after a hard day's work, but I have not yet found the right person, despite going through many hardships. I am not picky, I just need that person to be honest, cute, hard-working and loyal. It may be a bit contradictory, but I want my wife to be beautiful, even if they are not of equal social status," Ly Hung revealed his ideal partner.

Will marry a woman like mother

Talking to Ly Hung, mentioning his family, we could see the excitement and love in his eyes. Sipping the bitter taste of his iced coffee, he turned to look at his father - martial artist Ly Huynh affectionately: "Thanks to training, my father is still sharp. Although he has some old age diseases, he is still quite active, likes to travel and chat with friends."

From his own love story, he mentioned his parents' love story. He said that at that time, his father was a martial artist and his mother was a student. Because of his admiration for his father's talent, his mother secretly loved him. It was not until a long time later that his father discovered it. He reciprocated that feeling with a small, cozy wedding. "I like my lover just like my mother. I love slowly but in the way of a steady rain that soaks in over time. I'm afraid of things that are fleeting and hasty," Ly Hung confided.

Ly Hung's father, in addition to being a martial artist, was also a veteran actor at that time. Therefore, the time he spent with his family was very rare. There were times when Ly Huynh had to eat and sleep on the set for days at a time. However, according to Ly Hung, his mother was not jealous or blamed her husband for anything. On the contrary, she devoted herself to taking care of the family so that her husband could focus on filming and contributing to the cinema.

When Ly Hung was young, he said the happiest moment was when his siblings gathered together to help their mother fill ink into ballpoint pens: “If a woman loves me, I want her to have the same qualities of being patient and hardworking as my mother. Of course, no two people are alike, but as an artist, my job requires me to travel frequently. Even for many films, I have to be away from home for several months. It would be wonderful to have a woman who is devoted to her husband and children.”

“Are you too perfectionist in love when in today’s life, how many women are as hard-working as your mother?”, hearing us ask, Ly Hung happily said: “I am not perfectionist, in fact, today’s society still has many women like my mother. The only difference is their outward appearance. Of course, when I get married, I do not want my partner to have to work hard and work hard to serve her husband and children. Currently, I am still confident that I earn a lot of money, so it is impossible for my wife to suffer because of me. What I need is for her to know how to care for her family, my parents and sacrifice her own feelings so that her husband can feel secure and comfortable performing away from home.”
