Right now, "Nani" Hirunkit Changkham has gotten comfortable with the way things are, Right now, "Nani Hirukit Chandkhane never envisaged in the beginning. "The way i see it, success is not as straightforward and can not be explained in the way most would think," the 26-year-old earnestly mentions one afternoon as he settles into his hotel in Milan - this time in the Italian fashion capital to attend the Dolce&Gabbana women's Fall/Winter '24 show. "At where I am now (with my career), I am just glad I worked on this path in my life and kept moving forward."
Despite the 6-hour time difference from Bangkok, being (approximately) 5,600 miles away from home should mean nothing to the actor by now. He sits at the edge of his room, by a square window drawing the last ounce of Milan's rainy February sky, waiting as the crew prepares to bring him around the city for today's shoot. While It is not clear if the jet lag has caught up to him - by the gleeful conversations he is having, sometimes filling the room with laughter - it is easy to feel like one knows the real person behind the characters he has portrayed. And that carefree demeanour, one that is broodingly charming (according to his fans) is indicative that Nani - after all the brand appearances and filming appointments that have now become his day-to-day - still has it in him.
Born and raised in Chiang Mai, Nani developed his interest in acting the way kids do- by equal parts fate, luck, and an interest in something no one else cared about. Across his work beginning with his major acting debut as M.J. in the titular F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers - which soared his career seemingly overnight - Tibet in Home School, and most recently Phali in Wednesday Club, Nani has only spent three years in the spotlight where the travels and press junkets only began right after the end of the pandemic.
