Siam Dara: November 30, 2009

You can say that Ken Theeradej is a charming pra’ek that never dies because he’s able to make girls all over the country dream about him. No matter where he goes, he’s been receiving positive feed back so many producers are keeping an eye on him. Recently Ken just created a new rating for the character ‘Pasu’ or ‘Teacher Din’ in the romantic-comedy lakorn ‘Sood Sanae Ha’ where he has to go against the skillful nang’ek like ‘Anne Thongprasom.’ We have to say that the ratings for this lakorn are exploding, what does he have to say about this? Our reporter got a chance to talk with the new father who also gave us an update on Nong Khun. We started by asking him about Sood Sanae Ha and how it’s doing…

“It’s a fun lakorn, whoever got the chance to see it should watch until the end, I have to say that you can’t miss the ending. Today was the last day of filming, we’ve been filming for 7 months so it’s a bit scary because we’ve been working and joking with each other for so long.”

The ratings for ‘Pasu’ or ‘Teacher Din’ had spread all over the country, how do you feel?

“I really didn’t know, I haven’t gone anywhere yet. I’ve been working everyday but I’ve heard a little about it because my lakorn fans told me that I looked like an experienced chef. Honestly, I practiced a lot to make sure that my cooking styles are realistic and come out good for the lakorn, but I’m happy that many people believed that I really looked like a cook. Although, they probably edited a lot of it to help me, I have to thank the lakorn crew for that.”

What does Noi say after watching the lakorn?

“She likes it, it looks cute. As for me, I even bragged about myself with her, I would asked whether I looked like an expert or not. When I met the real chef, I also asked them for the spaghetti recipe and how to cook it, so I memorized some of the steps but I haven’t have the chance to cook it yet.”

After acting in a lakorn about cooking, does it make you want to open your own restaurant?

“Pobably not because I talked with people who cooks and they said that you have to always pay close attention to everything, but if I were to cook at home, then it should be fun, it’s a good way to relax. I think it’ll be fun if I invite my friends over to cook.”

In this lakorn you have many of sweet scenes with Anne, what does Noi say about this?

“There’s not a lot, we just had some sweet scenes in the last two episodes and for those episodes, Khun Noi was watching it with me. Khun Noi didn’t teased me or anything because she’ve seen a lot of those scenes and she’s been acting in them too, so there’s nothing to be jealous of. Back in the past, there might be some teasing but now we just laugh about it, there’s nothing to it.”

Recently we saw that Noi and Nong Khun was on the cover of Praew magaine, why weren’t you on the cover too?

“Khun Noi was familiar with the magazine people and she wanted to have a picture with Nong Khun so it was up to her. I didn’t have any free time so I didn’t get to go with her because I had to work. On that day, Khun Noi went with Nong Khun and she had her friends with her to go play with Nong Khun.”

It’s almost father’s day, has anyone contacted you for a photo shoot with Nong Khun?

“Not yet but it probably won’t be on time, I think most magazines probably got done with their monthly issue by now.”

Does Nong Khun like to be in front of the camera like his father?

“He’s fun, he’s not afraid of anybody, he likes to play with everyone. When he was sick and he went to the doctor, the doctor said that he can’t speak yet but he was trying to communicate with strangers.”

How long are you going to wait before you have a second child?

“We’re just letting things happen naturally, the doctor said that if we want to have another child, then we can because we were on a break for a while so we’re just letting it happen naturally, if it’s going to come, then it’ll come, but if not, then it’s alright.”

If you’re really going to have another child, are you going to talk with the doctor about choosing the child’s gender?

“No, we want it to be natural, let it decide, if we don’t have any more children, then it’s fine because we already have Nong Khun. Although, if we do have another child then it’s good because Nong Khun will have a friend.”

So now Nong Khun is grandma and grandpa’s favorite?

“Yes, everyone is coming to see him, Khun Noi’s mother already lives with us and for my mom and dad, they live close by, they’ll usually come see us at home, we don’t really take him out.”

Can Nong Khun speak yet?

“He can say many words like mom, dad, grandma, dog. He likes to sweep the house, he likes to walk to the side of the house and point and talk about sweeping, he knows a lot of stuff. If I tell him to go get his shoe so we can go out, he’ll do it but he won’t know how to put it on.”

At last, the reporters asked where he’s going to take Nong Khun to celebrate the upcoming new year…

“We’re planning to stay home and celebrate, we’ll stay in Bangkok for the new year and relax.”
