PERFORMING IS SECOND NATURE TO LAWRENCE WONG. Besides numerous roles in local and international series, the multifaceted artist fronts many campaigns and magazine covers. Since we last spoke with Lawrence in September, he has quite a few updates: new roles and a new range for Grail Skin on the entrepreneurial front. Additionally, the Malaysia-born heartthrob opens up to Augustman with sentimental and evocative ancedotes that have emboldened him to strive harder and fortified his resilience. More than a handsome face, Lawrence Wong is a true incarnation of the contemporary man.
We last spoke in September. What's new for you in the past few months?
Besides participating in brand activities, I've been busy shooting a couple of new tv series. In one of the series, I will play an innocent bimbotic gym trainer with a heart of gold. It's a relatively new character for me and I enjoy tapping onto my comedic talents. As for the other projects, I will play a stereotypical CEO who will go the extra mile for love.
Which is more important. The journey or the destination? This question is featured in one of your recent Instagram posts. As you didn't answer it in your caption, perhaps you could share your response with us?
If you asked me this when I was younger, I would say the destination is of utmost importance. However, as we grow, our perception changes. Currently, I find joy in the journey; the process is always more fulfilling and valuable as that's where we learn the most and better ourselves.
And I've realised that life has no endpoint. There's no true final destination.
In the following (Instagram) slide, it says, Time doing nothing is never wasted. That contradicts the proverb Time is money. Which do you agree with the most and why?
