Everyone has the same thought that if they were to do it again, they would make their characters in a better way.

If I were to remake the character of Old Pig now, I would still show that stupidity but I would make the character have more aspirations to rise. He's too peaceful."

When the Theater had a casting call, he and his friend invited each other to take the exam and surprisingly passed. He was overwhelmed because he didn't know what a skit was and had no one to lead him. After that, he studied seriously and worked his way up from the smallest steps.

But for him, life always has many turns and changes. And one of the reasons why he changed direction in his career was because he "felt there was a routine and routine in work".

"I make big decisions in life very quickly. People think I'm hasty, but the moment of decision has been nurtured and cherished for a long time. At that time, I didn't think about sadness or happiness. When changing children We will certainly be confused and stumble along the way we are going. I just feel like I have to adapt to the new environment and start over.

"I think the most dangerous thing in acting is walking on a flat road that makes you 'sleepy', I'm afraid of that" - the 55-year-old actor said.

At that time, he was tormented and jokingly said, "when I passed by the theater, I didn't dare go in because I missed it so much." However, the actor does not regret that decision: "I knew that if I went there, I would be heartbroken. It was a long period of my life, my whole vibrant youth. I decided that if I were to step in, I would have to live well".

When I think back, I find that change interesting, making me much more mature. Leaving the theater, I miss my job and the stage, but I don't regret my decision," Xuan Tung shared.

Before, I was over 80 kg, now I'm 71 kg. I don't eat." Abstinent and completely fine."
