Artist Duc Son is an old name in the Vietnamese film industry, spending decades in the acting profession, participating in a series of works from South to North, his face can be said to be known throughout the country. The current life of the male artist caused more stir when he was extremely fulfilling, abundant with 2 houses.

In the 1980s, Duc Son was an actor in the Drama Troupe of the General Department of Politics - the predecessor of the current Military Drama Theater. At that time, like many other colleagues, the actor had to ride a bicycle every night for tens of kilometers to go on stage to serve the audience. Originally a stage actor, artist Duc Son is famous through the small screen. He participated in many films and became a familiar face with the national audience such as: Purple orchid, Wild lagoon, Into the South to the North, Wind through the dark and bright, The Paths of Love, The Road to Heaven, The Girl with the Name of the River, The Mask of Love, The Most Beautiful Summer...

With a beautiful figure, an easy-to-see face, and a standard Hanoi voice, artist Duc Son is often invited to play luxurious roles like a director. And especially the director roles from the main to the villain, he completed them excellently.

Although he is the face of the whole country on television, the male artist is extremely secretive about his private life, which can be said to be a secret that no one in the audience knows until now. Besides art, the male artist likes to play tennis and swim. Duc Son is a very artistic person. Working with both passion and respect for the profession, which role is really attractive, he accepted.

About his current life, when asked about his current life, he said: "I am grateful to have a fulfilling life. Every day, I still drive myself to film and advertise. Now I work for fun, because this is not the main source of income. In the past, perhaps thanks to meeting the time or hearing that acquaintances only bought land here and there, my economy is now quite complete with two houses.
I live with my wife and children in Ho Chi Minh City, and my family wholeheartedly supports acting. The eldest child is over 40 years old, the youngest is studying in the US, no one will follow his father's career. I live a modern life, not work-oriented, but let my children pursue their own passions. There are also grandchildren who used to study cinematography but then switched to business, the profession of choosing people. I advise children to love their profession first, regardless of whether they make money or not.

For many years of acting from North to South, I have never bargained for remuneration. A young director asked me how much money I would pay before inviting me, I just replied: "If the company has a lot of money, pay me a little bit of money. If you have little, just pay little." I don't look at the income level in the film industry to "shout" the price."

A story that clearly shows Duc Son's artistry is that once, he was invited by a brand to shoot a shampoo advertisement with a huge salary. However, when he came to meet them, he suggested that the brand that uses dogs as actors can also prove that their products are both silky, fragrant and cheap. Of course, after that, the brand greeted him cordially and never met Duc Son again.

Duc Son said that he is a person who lives honestly with his friends, so he is trusted by many people. That happiness is very clearly reflected in the calm and somewhat calm demeanor and the smile that is always bright and radiant on the male artist's face.

One of the interesting things about artist Duc Son is that, being famous in the North, expensive shows from stage to film, suddenly one day in the late afternoon, he quietly moved to Ho Chi Minh City to live. Around this change of the male artist, there is a lot of speculation. He said he followed the call of love. He told Mr. Nam to go to do secret projects. And Duc Son heard the rumors and just laughed without explaining.

It is only known that, after going south, he joined the Hong Van theater stage for a while and then worked freely. The actor also goes to movies but is extremely picky. Any role that is similar to the roles he has played or is not attractive enough and not good enough, he will refuse.

He said that he does art not for money, so if he is not happy, he will not participate. He is not afraid to admit that he is "good". At the age of having experienced so many roles, Duc Don does not care about the price of the show or the price of cash, even though money is needed by everyone. The male artist admits that he is only a hired person but works as he likes, has the right to refuse to do what he doesn't like.

With 40 years of working in the profession, Duc Son talked about his point of view: "I am more selective about films, prepare any project before accepting the invitation to shoot another work. I often tell directors that they have not discussed the script well or badly, they must be honest and reasonable before I accept. I always need time to study the role before playing, from the role of a doctor, a police officer to a mafia boss, prioritizing stories rich in humanity."
