Thai actor Gulf (Kanawut Traipipattanapong) returned to the Philippines and met his fans, and talked about his career and his wish to work with Filipino actress Sarah Geronimo.
Gulf, 24, met his Filipino fans at his “1st Fanmeeting in Manila” held on Oct. 2 at the New Frontier Theater.
The event was held three years after Gulf visited the Philippines and met fans during the Thai Fans Days in September 2019.
Pinoy who went to Gulf’s fan meeting had lots of fun moments as the star sang, answered questions from them, played games, acted scenes from Filipino movies and had photos with lucky ones.
Gulf opened his fan meeting by singing “Why You So Serious,” a song he released in 2021.
He started his career as an actor and model in Thailand in 2015, appearing in the drama “Mafia Luerd Mungkorn: Singha.”
He is an actor under the Thai TV network Channel 3. As of this writing, he was leading in the votes on the network website’s Star of the Month for October.
Career and fans
Before the fan meeting, Gulf met with Philippine media in a press conference held at Novotel Manila Araneta City.
Gulf said the best thing that happened to him this year was the opportunity to meet fans as pandemic restrictions were eased.
“The best thing is to meet my fans. Right now since everyone could meet, it is a good time for everyone to meet me,” he said.
While he is both an actor and model, Gulf said for now, he will “mainly focus on the actor first but if there is a side project, then I will just follow.”
On roles that he would like to play, he said, “I want to act as the bad one. I want to try a villain (role).”
Among Filipino stars, he said he would like to work with actress and singer Sarah Geronimo.
“For Filipino stars, I would like to try (to work) with Sarah Geronimo,” he said.
Gulf works very hard for his career and said his family is what keeps him going.
“My family motivates me to do everything right now,” he said.
When asked what he would consider as the most important accomplishment in his career, Gulf replied, “My accomplishment from this job is I know how to spend my life, how to use it. My job taught me how to deal with different people.”
His goal in the future is to become successful as an actor.
“Since I’m currently in my career as an actor, I would like to achieve success (as an actor),” according to Gulf.
For those who want to follow in his footsteps, Gulf advised, “Everyone who has a dream and if you know you have been doing it, please chase it. So in the future you won’t regret why you, at that time, didn’t do it.”
Gulf said his dream project is “to bring all my fans to the football court and play all together.”
Fan meeting
At the fan meeting in Manila, Gulf also performed “Be Mine,” “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber, “Railhead” by Thai rapper K6Y and “Hold Me Tight.”
In one segment, he acted scenes from the Filipino movies “One More Chance” (2007) starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, and “Starting Over Again (2014) starring Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga.
On meeting his Filipino fans again, Gulf said, “I would like to thank everyone here. Even before, you loved, cherished me and supported me a lot. I’m really looking forward to coming back here again.”
“Thank you so much for spending time with me. I promise that I will do my best,” he said.
The “Gulf: 1st Fanmeeting in Manila” was presented by Pulp Live World.
