Tan Hoang: More than 40 years of performing, still staying at home, U60 sick, still burdened with food and money

Artist Tan Hoang originally came from the Cai Luong stage, but was especially successful in the comedy field. For more than 40 years as a professional, he is still living in a rented house, his life has experienced many hardships and challenges.

As one of the famous comedians in the 90s, with the program Indoor and Street, Tan Hoang was loved by the audience for his charming but equally profound comedy.

He also has the ability to sing Bolero sweet, inspirational. However, talking about himself, Tan Hoang said: "I feel like I don't have any talent. I'm not good at acting and singing. Only love and passion for the profession, I have the most confidence." .

Never dared to imagine

Like many actors through the peak, artist Tan Hoang admits he has few shows. When he was still attached to the Saigon theater stage, every week, the male artist performed here 9 times. The income from the theater is of course very modest, not comparable to movies and game shows. But for people who do not have many needs in life, the male artist is still satisfied.

Tan Hoang confided: "The question I get the most is "Is acting enough to make a living?" I do art with passion and enjoyment, so it's a pleasure to stand on stage. great blessing.

I have never asked for salary, compared to others. What do I think I have done for life that requires life to be favored? As long as I do everything well, I will be an artist in my next life.

Looking back, I myself am not good at acting, nor singing well. The compliments from the audience for me, I think are more admiration than truth. So after the show Bolero Love, I received several invitations to sing but I declined. I am afraid of disappointing others. If I were a real singer, I wouldn't be praised like that.

Moreover, my main profession is still theater. Theater Saigon is where I live. I can only add work, but I can't leave the stage or performance because of outside work.

For me, an actor and an artist is just a profession like any other, without any special talent. Therefore, my task is to cultivate and learn how to be skilled and survive in life. Talent must be a scientist, make medicine, have great works. People who pat their chests and think they're talented are delusional."

"My life is up to the elephant, sometimes to the black mud"

According to the reformed troupe since the age of 16, three years later, Tan Hoang has shown himself, becoming one of the names appearing on the poster of the play. Later, he and Bao Chung and Duy Phuong went to comedy everywhere, toured abroad...

However, in his life, he experienced two wrongdoings, tormented his mind for decades. It was the first time he stole money for a bowl of noodles when he and the group returned to Tra Vinh to perform. 14 years of tormenting because his sin with an elderly woman made him unable to sleep well.

He said: "I feel regret when just because of the pork leg, 14 years of guilt filled me."

The second time, Tan Hoang was engrossed in the drinking party, fell asleep on the meat board at the market and was left behind by the group. "I went back to the delegation and immediately received the decision to fire. At that time, I had to kneel in front of the 4 big members of the group, asking to stay. Looking back, I don't feel ashamed for doing that, but only regret that I did it. My life is not good with my job, I have had to exchange a lot of blood and tears in my life to be what it is today, so now that I am not popular, I still feel satisfied.

I hope my grandchildren will have enough passion and decide to pursue acting. I always teach them how to try, rise up when facing difficulties with the profession, before receiving the glory," Tan Hoang confided.

Sick, U60 is still at home to rent

At the age of 59, pursuing art for 40 years, Tan Hoang still does not have a rich and full life like other brothers and sisters. He still has to take care of the daily food and money. However, in public, he always shows optimism and love for life. In a sharing on his YouTube channel, he once confided:

"My life is very happy. I love my wife and children very much. Currently, I live with my wife and an 18-year-old grandson. My son is with his wife, daughter is with her husband's family, life However, I always stand behind my back to see if my children have difficulties or lack, I worry. That's how I am, I love my children very much."

Also in a sharing 3 years ago, Tan Hoang said he was still in a rented house. He humorously confided: "I'm very rich, guys. Since then, I've lived in dozens of houses. Wherever people sell, I run away. My current house just moved in on New Year's Eve, so I'm still here. I'm not as rich as anyone, but my car goes a lot, one every day. When I'm rehearsing, drinking coffee, I ride my motorbike. I ride a technology car or a taxi, but I don't dare to ride a motorbike."

In addition to his not-so-rich life, the audience also felt sorry for the male artist when he saw that at the age of U60, he had to face many diseases. In it, the actor once said that he had fatty blood and high liver enzymes. Last year, when he was hospitalized for treatment, Tan Hoang did not have enough money to cover his expenses and did not have insurance to support him, so he asked to be discharged home.

The image of him lying in a small apartment of about 20m2 made the audience feel moved. At this time, he was still optimistic and confided: "I know the audience is very worried about me, but I'm fine. Me and the audience are like a family, like flesh and blood. Every time I'm sick, my relatives are worried. Taking care of me like that, I'm very happy. Living with so many people's love is a blessing for me. I must be very fortunate to be like that."

In 2021, Tan Hoang once caused a stir in the public about the image of himself shaving his head. It is known that at the time of the epidemic, he was stuck in Bac Ninh. Here, he cut his hair and fasted to pray for his compatriots through the pandemic.

Half a year ago, he also updated his health situation. He said that he was cured after a period of treatment for spina bifida, gained some weight and returned to the stage to serve people. Although he did not have a well-off life, he struggled to make a living, but Tan Hoang still devoted himself to art. Recently, he also participated in a program and had the opportunity to meet an old friend that he had not seen for 15 years, NS Bao Chung. The reunion between two artists who used to be popular comedians in the South touched the audience.

Recently, Tan Hoang has just rented a space to live and run a small coffee shop to earn extra income in old age. Many viewers hope that he will improve in economic matters to have a fuller life.
