Nice to Meet Choo
8 Days
|March 30, 2017
JOEL CHOO, the 22-year-old NS boy son of Zhu Houren, tells us about living in his dad’s shadow and playing a swimmer without a swimmer’s bod in Ch 5’s Faculty.
8 DAYS: Ch 5’s varsity-themed drama Faculty marks your TV debut. How are you coping with being in the limelight?
JOEL CHOO: It feels good being recognised for what I love to do. But, sometimes, the attention gets overwhelming. Now, I’ve to be careful with what I post on social media. I used to post a lot of random things, like videos of me disturbing my friends, on my Instagram. But I don’t do that anymore ’cos not everyone will appreciate that kind of content (laughs).
You play a national swimmer and university student in the drama. But you say you don’t intend to go to uni.
Yeah, and my father is okay with me not getting a degree. I had wanted to go to Australia to study music. But if acting opportunities keep coming my way, then I’d be an actor.
What were you like as a Singapore Poly Music and Audio Technology student?
I’m the guai guai [‘well-behaved’ in Mandarin] type (laughs). I take my work very seriously. I try to get good grades. I’m not a bookworm but my life is quite boring. I try to stay away from drama.
