…they offered him more money, up to 10 million baht ($300,000 USD). Who knows.
After rejecting several Thai channels to be their contract actor, Mario Maurer has sign a 5 year contract with Ch3. At some Nine Entertainment event today, reporters were able to ask Mario about his decision to go with CH3.
You have rejected several channel offers, why Ch3?
“I haven’t rejected several channels, you should refer to it as the channel elders having compassion for me. Ch7, I also love and I have much esteem for Khun Daeng (Ch7′s head honcho), she is an elder I respect. I have chosen my path and I have chosen Ch3. It’s more like I’m a kid who is choosing his own path . Khun Daeng didn’t say anything, we are not at odds with each other.”–Wow, what a media change! Before, he used to get into arguments with reporters, now he is controlling them. Who is this kid?
Was your signed up fee 10 million baht ($300, 000 USD)?
“No, there was none of that. There was no initial fee. I’m like every other actor. In the contract, I will be in 1-2 lakorns per year. There is nothing in place in what I will be playing in. I have to discuss this with the channel elders first. The lakorn “Tai Fah Tawan Diew (Autumn Destiny” a lakorn I was recently in, I like it. After participating in it, I felt it was something different. After playing in a lakorn, I developed a liking to it. It has its own charm. Right now, I have 3 movies and right now it’s okay because all of my movies have finished filming.”
—again, who is this kid? ” It has its own charm,” he is sounding like an old man.
Reporters wondered if Mario has chosen Ch3 because of his girlfriend Gubgib who has a lakorn with Ch3 airing soon. Mario, acting like an old person, said it had nothing to do with Gubgib.
“Please don’t think of it like that. It’s not the truth. As for my relationship with Gubgib, it’s still bright, we are still good friends to each other. She is a special someone.”–what the fudge, it’s like he is reading from a script.
For his first lakorn, Mario wants to work with Anne Thongprasom.
“I want to work with Anne Thongprasom, but I want to work with everyone. I like several people. But we have to see about the role and whether it matches me.”
Hmmmm Wow then… he was so fast-coming Thai superstar and now hes only a Thai actor… You thought you could have it all huh!!
if i were him i would choose ch-3 too. love it.
I can only hope this means he will be in fewer films.
He needs more experience, and more TV work will do him good.
Sawadee…
Whatever neither what he said nor the reporters I hope he will excel further in his acting career for the time being!
One thing I know, working with Anne will definately make him a better actor… or else he’ll stick out like a sore thumb! Hope that he won’t be paired with parents that are too thai or chinese looking… doesn’t look credible. And pairing with Anne, Aff or Janie means he will have to play those brother-elder sister roles, or young boy with a crush for a woman older by more than 10 years… it’ll work if they can pull if off… look at the latest season of Brothers and Sisters… the character Sally Field plays has a much younger man falling for her…!
who doesn’t want to work with anne. shes such a talented actress..im anxious to know who his first co star will be
“what the fudge, it’s like he is reading from a script” LOL..he’s becoming a good actor memorizing his lines
Anyways, who wouldn’t want to work with Ann T.
I don’t know why, but I don’t like Mario. I don’t think he’s handsome, charming, or whatever. I think it might be the fact that he looks gay to me. But that’s just my opinion. And I hope he’s not wanting to work with Anne as in being a pra’ek with her because that’ll be a big turn off for me. He’s too young and looks like a little kid. ( :
his waning career needs a resuscitation- that’s why!
He must have had a one on one with Anne T. so she gave him some helpful tips when taking interview. LOL just my assumption or maybe Ch3 turned him into a mature man? Anyways I am glad if chose Ch3 even if he’s not as great I am pretty sure he will improve.
it’s cute he wants to work with anne, who wouldn’t?
Aww..
He wants to work with Ann, I would love to work with her too.
it’s a great news. perhaps we can see he pairs up with aff or janie. i like those two actresses.
I heard about this a few days ago and I was thrilled. I think this’ll boost up and help improve his acting a bit more. xD I wonder who he’s going to be paired up with first!
I remember reading an interview with Ann, she said that she wants to work with him too. But with a pranangs roles only, she even said she was willing to do it for free, lol.
That’s be so tough to watch though, Mario’s acting so far is as natural as a stone. If he’s in the same lakorn as Ann, oh no. Poor him.
