Hong Dang was once a symbol of the "handsome guy" of Vietnamese cinema, associated with captivating TV series. It seemed that his career would continue to flourish, but an unexpected personal incident in 2022 created a major turning point.
The journey of the "male god" of Vietnamese cinema and his dramatic transformation:
Le Hong Dang, commonly known by his stage name Hong Dang, and sometimes affectionately called Huy Dang by fans, is one of the most veteran and beloved actors of Vietnamese television dramas. He was born on October 6, 1984 in Hanoi, in an ordinary Kinh family with no artistic tradition.
Hong Dang's personal life is as fulfilling as his career. He married his wife Nguyen Anh Dao in 2008, and now, after more than a decade together, Hong Dang and his wife have two lovely and talented daughters.
The journey begins with art:
Hong Dang is not a "hereditary" artist. Before becoming famous, he studied business, even owned a phone store and had a great passion for large-displacement motorcycles.
However, his passion for art led him to a bold decision: to turn to acting. He seriously pursued this path by graduating from Hanoi College of Arts and continuing to hone his skills at the actor training class of Vietnam Television Film Center (VFC).
In the early stages of his career, Hong Dang joined Drama Group 2 â Hanoi Drama Theater and at the same time worked closely with VTV, continuously appearing in many TV series. It was this perseverance and constant effort that helped him gradually affirm his position in the entertainment industry.
Love story overcomes storms:
Hong Dang married Nguyen Anh Dao in 2008 when he was 24 years old, when his career was still young. They have two lovely daughters, Le Phuong Bao Han (Nhim) and Le Phuong Tue Anh (Keo).
He is a loving and protective husband and father to his family. Hong Dang often shares happy moments on social media and always stands up for his wife when she faces criticism about her appearance. He often expresses his gratitude and deep love for his partner who has built everything with him "from scratch".
Moving from screen to business after the incident:
In 2022, after a personal incident in Spain, Hong Dang made a big decision. He left the Hanoi Drama Theater and temporarily stopped acting.
However, with his inherent business acumen and mindset, he quickly shifted to a new field. Currently, Hong Dang focuses on used car trading, real estate consulting, and especially supporting his wife in running the "bun rieu top te" restaurant chain with expansion plans. He maintains the philosophy of life "Any job is fine, as long as it does not defraud or steal". Although he no longer acts in movies, Hong Dang still maintains a positive lifestyle, regularly playing golf, traveling, having coffee with friends, and sharing his simple daily life on social networks.
Artistic heritage achievements and awards:
Hong Dang is known as the "Northern screen's handsome man" thanks to his handsome appearance, standard body and especially his diverse acting ability. He is not only successful with the role of a romantic "heartthrob" but can also excellently transform into psychologically complex main roles, from cold and brave to weak, cowardly or gentle.
Hong Dang's acting career is a journey full of effort, from supporting roles to the position of a star loved by millions of viewers. Initially, he started his career with small supporting roles in TV series in the early 2000s such as "Noi the co non", "Nhat ky Vang Anh"... Despite his bright appearance, his name was still quite obscure at that time. The big turning point came in 2011 with the role of Minh Khang in "Cau vong tinh yeu", making Hong Dang's name shine and creating the golden screen couple "song Hong" with Hong Diem.
It is impossible not to mention the combination that is so compatible that it is called the "golden couple" of Vietnamese cinema between Hong Dang and Hong Diem. From "Rainbow of Love", "Moscow - Season of Changing Leaves", "Rose on the Left Chest" to "Sunflower Against the Sun", the two always create a special "chemical reaction", making the audience believe in the love and fate of the characters. The compatibility and naturalness in their acting has become a "brand", making every film with their participation highly anticipated.
Throughout his career, Hong Dang has been honored with many prestigious awards, affirming his talent and dedication: Twice won the Impressive Actor Award in 2016 (for "Zippo, Mustard and You") and in 2018 (for "A Lifetime of Enmity"). Golden Kite 2016: Won the Best Actor Award for his role in the film "Zippo, Mustard and You". These awards are not only recognition from professionals but also the love and enthusiastic support from the audience for him.
The admirable property of the red lantern behind the halo:
This handsome actor and his wife Nguyen Anh Dao own a large property, which surprises many people. The main residence of Hong Dang's family is a luxurious 5-storey villa with three facades located right in the center of Hanoi.
Not only that, Hong Dang also owns a spacious, airy garden house located in the suburbs, away from the center of Hanoi. This place is likened to a mini resort, an ideal place for the whole family to enjoy the fresh air, relax and be close to nature.
In addition to valuable real estate, Hong Dang is also famous for his passion for vehicles and owns a dream collection of cars and motorbikes: He used to own or was known for luxury cars and pickup trucks such as Mercedes-Benz GLC300 , Ford Ranger Wildtrak, VinFast Lux SA2.0 (2020 model),... estimated to be worth billions of VND.
His passion for motorcycles from his youth is still maintained with "monster" cars such as Ducati Hyperstrada 939 (about 500 million VND) and Harley Davidson Heritage (about 800 million VND).
Owning this enviable fortune, along with switching to the car business and supporting his wife in developing a chain of restaurants, has helped Hong Dang maintain a fulfilling life even though he is no longer as active in the arts as before. This is clear evidence that he is not only a talented artist but also a shrewd businessman who always knows how to be independent and nurture family life.
