Although his latest film is titled My Best Friend’s Wedding, it’s his own nuptials that Rhydian Vaughan recently celebrated. The actor opens up about how turning husband and father has changed his life “drastically”.
It’s almost an understatement to say that 2016 has been a year of radical change for Rhydian Vaughan. The 28-year-old Taiwanese-British actor welcomed a son at the beginning of the year, before recently tying the knot with his long-time girlfriend. Despite all the developments in his personal life (that he stays rather private about, for the record), the heartthrob’s career hasn’t regressed one bit. In fact, Rhydian tells us in Taipei that he’s been busy promoting his latest film, My Best Friend’s Wedding, a romantic comedy and Chinese production that also stars Shu Qi, Victoria Song, and Feng Shaofeng. “It was a really fun project that we shot in Europe. We kept most of the original storyline for this remake, but we also put our own take on it. I’ve been promoting that up till the last few weeks,” he adds.
It’s easy to see why the newly minted family man has no issues balancing his day job with being a father and husband: he’s learnt a lot from his parents, a violinist dad and performance artist mom. “They can be quite abstract sometimes, but I think they’re great examples of how to be unique in this world, and not be afraid to be different. They are constantly breaking patterns. Creativity comes from experience and observation, and these are great values my parents passed on to me,” says Vaughan.
Although he admits that fatherhood is keeping him more occupied than ever, Vaughan promises he isn’t about to take a break anytime soon. “I’ll be working on more overseas projects. There’s one lined up for me in Macau, and a few in China as well,” he adds.
