Current life of 6 'male gods' of Vietnamese showbiz in the 1990s
Actors Ly Hung, Hoang Phuc, and Huynh Anh Tuan are still committed to acting, while Chi Bao and Le Tuan Anh have retired and Quyen Linh has switched to being an MC.
 |
| Ly Hung was born in 1969, coming from a 'family of artists' with his father being People's Artist Ly Huynh, his brother being director Ly Son, and his sister being actress Ly Huong. Since the age of 17, Ly Hung has become a famous name on the Vietnamese screen, after participating in the movie 'Pham Cong - Cuc Hoa' (with Diem Huong). In the 1990s, Ly Hung acted in more than 90 movies such as 'Tears of Students', 'People Without Surnames', 'Durian Leaves', 'Tears of Roses', 'After Pink Dreams', 'Wanted Order'... |
 |
| When the commercial film industry no longer had a place, Ly Hung turned to singing but did not achieve the same resounding success as when acting. After that, he returned to the audience through a number of TV series such as: 'White Dollar', 'Glass Rain', 'Tiger Lady', 'Who Will Marry You After Tet'... At the age of 52, the once-famous actor is still single. He currently lives a leisurely and peaceful life with his mother and extended family in Thu Duc City. |
 |
| Quyen Linh was born in 1969, the eldest brother in a poor family with many children in Tien Giang. He once struggled with his acting career. The first role that made Quyen Linh noticed by the audience was the character Lam in 'Nguoi Ha Noi' (1995). The actor is famous for a series of movies such as: 'The children of the gods', 'Ngoc Trang Than Cong', 'Giot Le Ha Long', 'Ha Village Eclipse', 'Bong Hoa Rung Sac' and the TV series 'Gio Qua Mien Doi Sang', ' Ngay Tro Ve', 'Dong Tien Xuong Mau'... |
 |
| Since the early 2000s, Quyen Linh decided to temporarily stop acting to focus on his new career as a program host. He was loved by many audiences when he hosted the TV show 'Overcoming Yourself'. Quyen Linh currently has a full and happy life with his talented wife and two beautiful daughters. In addition to the arts, he is also famous for his charity activities. When the Covid-19 epidemic broke out, Quyen Linh forgot to eat and sleep to support the people of Saigon and many other provinces to fight the epidemic. |
 |
| Hoang Phuc was born in 1967. He was also one of the famous actors of the commercial film genre in the 1990s, at the same time as Ly Hung, Le Tuan Anh, and Le Cong Tuan Anh. Hoang Phuc's name was associated with the role of Hai Quang in the film 'Bui Hong'. When his career was on the rise, he decided to leave the entertainment industry to get married and take care of his sick mother. |
 |
| After 18 years of taking a break from acting, Hoang Phuc returned to the audience through TV series such as: 'Ephemeral Dream', 'Special Mission', 'Single Fathers', 'Oath of Honor' and movies 'Dragon Trap', 'Erased Order', 'Dust of Cho Lon Market'... At the age of 54, Hoang Phuc still maintains a youthful appearance and demeanor that many people admire. He had a failed marriage and is currently living happily with his second wife - businesswoman Uyen Phuong - and 3 children. |
 |
| Le Tuan Anh was born in 1968. He is famous for his role as Thai Salem in the movie 'Wanted Order' (1995), co-starring with Ly Hung and Viet Trinh. Le Tuan Anh's excellent performance in this movie unintentionally stereotyped him as a deceitful, playboy... When he was at the peak of his career, Le Tuan Anh soon realized the decline of the 'instant noodle' movie genre and gradually withdrew from cinema. The last movie he participated in was 'Wind through the dark and bright region' (1998), co-starring with many Northern actors. |
 |
| After his failed marriage with singer Phuong Thao (current wife of Ngoc Le), in 2000 Le Tuan Anh married artist Hong Van and had a daughter, Bi Ngo. The once-famous actor is now 53 years old. He is satisfied with his peaceful, fulfilling life with his wife. Le Tuan Anh is currently the director of the Hong Van Drama Theater and the owner of the couple's restaurant chain. Occasionally, he still meets and reminisces with close friends from the 1990s. |
 |
| Huynh Anh Tuan was born in 1968. He is also considered a 'male god' of the 1990s screen. Possessing a handsome appearance, Huynh Anh Tuan quickly became a popular actor, no less than actors like Ly Hung and Le Cong Tuan Anh at that time. The first film that helped Huynh Anh Tuan become widely known to the audience was 'You and Michael' (in 1993, co-starring with Truong Ngoc Anh). Since then, he has participated in hundreds of other films such as: 'Disturbed Sea', 'Dat Khach', 'Nhung De Con Thanh Pho', 'Huong Phu Sa'... |
 |
| Huynh Anh Tuan had a broken marriage. He has four children with his first wife. In 2016, the actor remarried a colleague named Thao Suong. He is quite secretive about his personal life. Currently, Huynh Anh Tuan still acts regularly. He is often invited to play the roles of directors and mafia bosses in TV dramas. |
 |
| Chi Bao was born in 1973. He was a student of the Electronics Faculty, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, but thanks to his handsome appearance and acting talent, he gradually became involved in cinema. Since the mid-1990s, Chi Bao gave up his dream of becoming an engineer to pursue an artistic career. Chi Bao made an impression with the role of a brave, martial arts-savvy Hue native in the movie 'Children of the City' (1998). That same year, he achieved great success when he starred in 'Bloody Money' with Truong Ngoc Anh, Quyen Linh, Cat Tuong... |
 |
| In recent years, Chi Bao has made fewer films to focus on business and charity work. He is currently the president of the Understanding the Heart Fund - an organization that specializes in supporting humanitarian heart surgery for children in difficult circumstances. Chi Bao had a broken marriage and has a son. He remarried to a businessman 16 years younger than him, Ly Thuy Chang, in 2021. The actor is about to become a father for the second time. In May, Chi Bao surprised everyone when he announced his retirement, ending his film career after 25 years in the profession. |
