Quach Ngoc Ngoan: The actor tattooed his wife's face on his chest, now reappearing after defaulting on a debt of 20 billion VND

Quach Ngoc Ngoan is no longer a strange name when associated with many cult film works and a noisy private life. After a period of default of 20 billion, Quach Ngoc Ngoan has gradually regained the rhythm of life and reappeared in Vietnamese showbiz.

Childhood in the river area and the first steps of life

Quach Ngoc Ngoan was born in 1986 in Ca Mau - where the pace of life is associated with rice fields, shrimp and floating water seasons. He grew up in a simple peasant family, his parents "sold their faces to the land, their backs to the sky" all year round. As a child, his family worked as a rice farmer, then switched to shrimp farming according to the change in the local farming structure. Quach Ngoc Ngoan's childhood was associated with the days of helping his family, with the young mud, the sun and wind and the familiar hardships of the countryside.

It was that simple background that forged in him the will to rise and the desire to change his life. After graduating from high school, Quach Ngoc Ngoan decided to leave his hometown, bringing his dreams and little luggage to Ho Chi Minh City to pursue an artistic path. He passed the exam and attended the Actor Department of the Ho Chi Minh City College of Theater and Cinema - the first door that opened for a journey of many ups and downs later.

From the fashion runway to the big screen

Possessing an outstanding height and a handsome and masculine face, Quach Ngoc Ngoan quickly attracted attention from the first days of entering the artistic environment. In 2008, he participated in the Vietnam Supermodel contest and excellently won the Silver Award. This is considered an important turning point, helping Quach Ngoc Ngoan's name to be more widely known in the entertainment industry.

After this award, he became the face of many directors and invited to participate in TV series and film projects. From a sincere Western guy, Quach Ngoc Ngoan gradually asserted himself on the screen with a prickly and delicate acting style, suitable for roles with inner depth. The glory came early, but since then, his life has begun to take many challenging turns.

Unfinished love with Le Phuong

In the midst of his career on the rise, Quach Ngoc Ngoan married actress Le Phuong - his close co-star. The marriage has received a lot of attention and blessings from the public. The two share a son, which is considered the sweet fruit of love.

However, after three years of marriage, that marriage could not come to a complete end. Quach Ngoc Ngoan and Le Phuong decided to break up, each choosing their own path. After the divorce, Le Phuong took care of raising her son. For Quach Ngoc Ngoan, it is a great heartbreak in life – the regret of not being able to be with her child every day, witnessing every step of her child's growth.

Noisy marriage with businesswoman Phuong Chanel

After the first breakdown, Quach Ngoc Ngoan fell in love with businessman Phuong Chanel - a famous face in the business world. This relationship quickly became the focus of public attention because of the disparity in image, position and market conditions surrounding private life.

Despite encountering many conflicting opinions, the two still chose to stick together, appearing publicly together at many entertainment events and luxury trips. In mid-2020, Quach Ngoc Ngoan officially confirmed that he had registered to marry Phuong Chanel and shared a daughter. On television, he once gave many words of respect when talking about his partner - a strong woman in society but caring and warm in the family.

Happiness seemed to be complete, but in April 2021, Phuong Chanel suddenly confirmed that the two had gone their separate ways. This information surprised the public. The businesswoman said that they broke up peacefully, still maintaining a civilized relationship to take care of their daughter together.

After the breakup, Phuong Chanel still posted pictures of Quach Ngoc Ngoan on social networks, raising the question of reunion. However, when asked about her feelings, she only gently replied: "Love, friend". A brief answer but enough to close the turbulent love chapter of the two.

The shock of default of 20 billion VND shocked showbiz

After the marital events, Quach Ngoc Ngoan chose to live a quiet life, limiting public appearances. He spends a lot of time on his own business, only occasionally participating in a few film projects. It seemed that it was a quiet period, but in April 2023, the actor suddenly admitted that he was in default.

His frank sharing about his difficult financial situation caused a stir in public opinion. Quach Ngoc Ngoan said that he is trying to manage, hoping that creditors will give him more time to arrange and affirm that this is a personal story, he will be responsible for himself. That unshy admission both shows heavy pressure and reflects the frank personality of a man who has experienced it.

It took the actor more than a year to overcome the biggest event of his life. During that time, there were days when he did not dare to go out, limiting contact with friends. He was sad but did not resent when he realized who was staying and who was leaving quietly. What touches him is that there are still many audiences and friends in the art world who silently support and encourage.

The actor said that his 2 children, Ca Phao and Sumi, were the biggest motivation for Quach Ngoc Ngoan to stand up. Even though he can't live with his child, he still often makes video calls, asks about his education, and looks at his child's smile to remind himself to try harder.

Back to Art

Currently, Quach Ngoc Ngoan has returned to art after a long absence. He participated in two film projects at the same time and continued to cast for new roles. His income mainly comes from acting and some jobs with relatives.

The actor expressed his gratitude for being invited to return by the producers, especially after seven years since the movie The Immortals. For him, every day to be busy on the set is a happiness. Quach Ngoc Ngoan maintains a healthy lifestyle, exercises in the gym, runs, reads books about healing to keep a positive spirit and good physical condition, ready for the opportunities ahead.
