Hong Dang: 'I'm used to rumors of badmouthing my wife'
Actor Hong Dang - film "Tuoi Thanh Xuan 2" said that although he is an artist, his marriage is still peaceful and simple because he misses each other when they are apart, always cherishing the moments together. He and his wife have never been angry with each other for more than a day and that is unusual compared to many other couples.
There are no small roles, only small actors.

It is known that in Tuoi Thanh Xuan 2, you did not appear much and only had a very small role. Are you afraid that you will be forgotten after becoming famous and making a strong impression with the role of Huy?
- For me, there are no small roles, only small actors. That is what my teacher - NSDN Hoang Dung said, which I really appreciate and remember as a guideline for my acting career. There was a time when I also underestimated small roles and had to pay a very high price for that subjectivity. So now, I no longer care about how much or how little I appear, but what matters is how I appear, whether I really leave an impression and affection in the audience's heart or not, even if those are just very rare moments.
Regarding Tuoi Thanh Xuan 2, I think the director and screenwriter always want to bring new and interesting things to the audience, so changing the character line is necessary to make the film more attractive. Replacing me is Manh Truong (Phong) - a rather strange and attractive character. I believe that when the audience watches, they will feel that more clearly and be satisfied (laughs).
Can you share a little about the character Khanh in Youth 2? What is new and attractive compared to Khanh in part 1?
- Khanh in Tuoi Thanh Xuan 2 appears very little but is also built quite clearly and is definitely not hated like in part 1 anymore (laughs). My character in part 2 has maturity, steadiness and decisiveness shown very clearly. And more importantly, he always nurtures and finds ways to help Linh - Junsu get back together.

It seems that 2016 is the year of Hong Dang's explosion, when not long ago the audience saw him share a new role filmed in the forest. Is that a villain role very different from the playboy Hong Dang?
- (laughs) That's right, you guessed it well! The image I shared is from the 46-episode crime drama "The Judge", which started filming in January 2016 and is only 10 days away from wrapping up. My character in this drama is a completely new and different type of role, from the slightly "rough" appearance that has nothing to do with being a playboy or a playboy to the very complex inner self with multiple personalities.
I can say that I have never played a role like this before. He was a person who respected the law, was knowledgeable about the law and specialized in consulting on human psychology, but in the end became a criminal. In this film, I also had to go through some relatively difficult and arduous scenes. There were dirty scenes, ragged, crossing forests, wading through streams, living with leeches... Those were completely new experiences in my career.
Not only that, he also reunited with his very compatible co-star Hong Diem in the Tet movie “Autumn Window”. At the same time, he appeared so much, every time the TV was turned on, the audience saw Hong Dang, are you afraid that you will get bored?
- I have to admit that I have been acting in quite a few films recently, and the broadcast schedules are also close together. At first, I was a bit worried that appearing on screen so much would make the audience feel bored. But I have received encouragement from my family as well as professionals. Moreover, my roles in these films are different, and I also try to create new images for my characters that are always attractive to the audience. I hope that even though I appear a lot, those films will leave an impression. And I still wait and welcome all contributions and feedback from fans about my roles.

I'm used to malicious rumors and badmouthing my wife.
With a busy and frequent filming schedule, his wife and he have admitted that he is not a romantic man. So what is the secret to keeping his family warm and happy as fans see?
- In my opinion, family happiness is not expressed in having to see each other every day, being with my wife every day. Happiness is sharing at the right time, creating trust in each other at the right time. For example, for me, when I have children, I have to think about making a living and so I will have less time for my family. But the time we are together, I always cherish and value that is happiness. Or there are gifts I give my wife not on any special day, simply because I feel that she is unhappy about something so I want to have a gift to make her happier. That is the invisible thread that connects family affection and I always feel warm.
You are young, handsome, rich and famous. You see that your wife sometimes meets and hears bad rumors that intend to divide family relationships. How do you two behave and handle those situations?
- Actually, there are many rumors online that badmouth my wife. At first, I was very concerned. Sometimes I was impulsive, showing anger and saying bad things. But after a while, I gradually got used to it and eliminated the false rumors from my mind. And if I felt that my wife was sad about such things, I would buy her gifts or go out to eat and pay more attention to her than usual to calm her down. But now, those fabricated stories that are meant to divide our family's feelings are meaningless and I don't care about them.

His wife is also very busy with her business. What can be done to keep family affection from fading?
- It's not difficult, being away makes us miss each other (laughs). And the bond that warms up our love is Be Nhim and Keo. We always take advantage of the little time we have together.
That said, family life certainly cannot avoid times when things are not going well. Let me ask you this: Have you ever been so angry with your wife that you didn’t speak to her for days? How did you reconcile with her at that time?
- Honestly, from the time we fell in love until now, my husband and I have never been angry with each other for more than a day. The way my husband and I get angry is a bit different from other couples. We never raise our voices or argue with each other. When something happens, my husband and I usually stay silent to think about what happened and whether it is worth our anger. Usually, I am the mediator. Because nothing is worth it to destroy the relationship we have built and fought for over the years, going through difficulties to come together.
Thanks for sharing!
