For artists, appearance is just an advantage, not a lasting value.
Despite his handsome appearance, male model and actor Duc Hieu affirmed that in the arts, appearance is only an advantage, while acting skills affirm the value of an artist.
When asked: "As a model and actor with a beautiful appearance, have you ever suddenly thought that you only need to work moderately to save "energy", the most important thing is to have beauty?", Duc Hieu affirmed: "If an artist works superficially, relies on appearance without "working hard" for the profession, the results will only be temporary and not sustainable".
He also believes that having a beautiful appearance is a blessing, but maintaining it is not easy. Behind the artist’s beauty is a strict discipline in eating, exercising, sleeping, etc.

Continuing to share his views on "beauty" in art, Duc Hieu further affirmed that it is only superficial. If one only relies on appearance, it is difficult to hope to go far in art, because the artist himself will create little useful value for himself and the community.
"Beauty in art is just a small part, like a fresh flower, no matter how beautiful it is, it will eventually wither. What matters is whether or not it leaves behind its fragrance and sweet nectar when it withers. If you have beauty and train yourself in morality, intelligence, and willpower, everything will develop steadily and have more depth," said the actor.
Duc Hieu also believes that artists who want to go the long way must constantly cultivate and update their knowledge and life experiences. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into bad habits, or moral and lifestyle degradation. The more beautiful an artist is, the more likely they are to fall into depravity, as evidenced by the fact that many beautiful artists have done unacceptable things on social networks just to promote their names.

Although he is very "transformative" on film and on stage, in everyday life, the actor always dresses neatly and comfortably. |
After completing the film "Pho trong lang" broadcast on VTV, Duc Hieu received a lot of love from the audience. He received invitations to participate in short film projects, TVCs, sitcoms and model for some branded products. Since the time he participated in acting in the TV series "Crocodile Profile", Duc Hieu has focused more on practicing hard to have good physical strength, a beautiful figure, and be more active and resilient. Recently, he participated in the fashion show "Steps of Heritage" and attended the event "Aquafina VietNam International Fashion Week 2022".
Through 3 recent films such as the TV series "Crocodile Profile", "Street in the Village" and the web drama "My Classmate is My Dad", Duc Hieu looked back at himself and felt that he still had shortcomings in his career. Therefore, he also recognized things that needed to be improved, such as how to use body language to enhance the transformation in his roles. Duc Hieu attended a course on MCing to increase his ability to master content and be flexible with words.
Duc Hieu said: "Hieu thinks not only Hieu but everyone will be more confident when going out with a pleasant face and having the knowledge to communicate with society. If you want to have good health, you must exercise regularly and if you want to improve your communication and speaking skills, you must cultivate soft skills, read books and learn from life."
Although he is "transformative" on film and on stage, in everyday life, the actor always dresses neatly and comfortably. Not "relying" on his appearance, Duc Hieu is trying to develop himself and seize acting opportunities. In the future, he can go further not only because of his masculine beauty that attracts audiences but also because of his increasingly improved acting skills. That is also because he always considers artistic work a serious profession.
