He dislikes media attention, didn’t initially feel for his band Morning Call and would change his signature hairdo if he could. Despite all these, Liu has established himself as a sought-after actor, model and guitarist in the region with over 700,000 followers on Instagram.
So much is Jasper Liu #trending in Taiwan, his people told us prior to this interview that the paparazzi had been camping outside his home for six days, hoping for an incident – any “newsy incident” – to take place. But the 30-year-old, media-shy actor and guitarist for popular Taiwanese indie band Morning Call has no regrets that he entered show business almost 10 years ago, when he joined a model search. “I’m happy that I’m able to take good care of my family financially now. I remember that when I started modelling, my mother would ask if I had spare money left, and I would always say yes, even when I was struggling,” he says.
The 1.8m-tall Liu’s big break came in 2011, when he scored a supporting role in television drama In Time With You. Liu would since leave supporting roles behind to play the leading man in shows including The Patisserie with No Name, and gain popularity in Japan and South Korea. And when he’s not occupied filming or modelling, Liu serves as the guitarist of Taiwanese indie band Morning Call.
