From acting to singing and everything in between, Mew Suppasit is a versatile artist who has captivated us with his charm and talent.

Actor, singer-songwriter, model, producer, and CEO of his own company &mdash; Mew Suppasit seems to nail it all. Having started out in the entertainment industry by appearing in various music videos and commercial advertisements, the 33-year-old began acting with roles in Thai boys&rsquo; love series I Am Your King and What the Duck: Final Call, but it was his portrayal as Tharn in TharnType: The Series (alongside our April 2024 cover star, Gulf Kanawut) that truly propelled him to heady heights. Beyond acting, Mew has made considerable achievements in his singing career too. In just four years, he has collaborated with some of the most notable stars globally, including British electronic pop duo Honne and South Korean singers Sam Kim, Bumkey, and most recently, EXO&rsquo;s Suho. After a whirlwind month of travels, Mew made a special pitstop in Kuala Lumpur for our shoot, gracing the set with his usual gentle yet charming demeanour. Below, we talk about his thoughts on the big &ldquo;Thai wave&rdquo;, acting vs singing, and his aspirations for the future.

The T-wave is making a big splash across the globe right now. How do you feel being a part of that conversation? I'm really happy about it. I also hope that the world will see more works by Thai people. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting our work, and I am looking forward to having more opportunities globally in the future. How do you handle the pressures and responsibilities that come with being in the spotlight? Stay focused, be open to feedback, and have a better understanding of things around me while continue being myself. Tell us more about your preparation for each acting role. Regardless of the role, it&rsquo;s important to be prepared as much as possible. Try to understand both the story and the character, and most importantly, create an environment that is not in the script, such as the background and behaviours of the character.

Are there any particular characters you&rsquo;d like to explore in the future? It depends on the script, but I hope that I get to play more varying characters. Does acting and singing complement each other? Definitely. In acting, music helps with rhythms, grooves and the environment of each scene. For example, actors can imagine the music while acting. In music, acting helps with the performance on stage, and how it is delivered to the audience. From Bumkey to Soho, you&rsquo;re no stranger to music collaborations. Who&rsquo;s your one dream artist collaborator? Ed Sheeran! But if we get to collaborate, I&rsquo;ll faint first before we get to work together.

"I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting our work, and I am looking forward to having more opportunities globally in the future."

Aside from acting and singing, your sense of style has also made you one of the most sought-after stars for different luxury brands. How would you describe your off-duty style in three words? Place, time, and people. Do you have a favourite book? The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Describe your dream holiday. A week in Bora Bora, resting, diving, getting a spa, and seafood feast on repeat.

Anything you want to say to Mewlions? I'd like to thank everyone for their support and love. It is a pleasure to have you with me on my journey, and I hope we will have this relationship long-term. What can we expect from you for the rest of 2024? I will start filming soon. The script is super entertaining and the filming will be so tough. So please support and pray for me [laughs]. What aspirations do you have for the future, both professionally and personally? I would love to have more acting work on an international level. I would also like to have my own home and business.
