Weir is a daddy!
In a lakorn.
In real life, Weir is turning 25 this April. In the upcoming weekend lakorn on Ch7, “Phaw Nu bpen Superstar (My dad is a SUPERSTAR)”, Weir is playing a 30 year old man who has a 15 year old daughter. Ya, a 15 year old daughter. Can you believe it? Jakajan Akumsiri is his leading lady in this lakorn and the mother of his daughter played by newcomer “Ying” Ploypapat Thananchaikarn.
Weir is Danthep in this lakorn. Danthep is an entertainer, a triple threat, he’s a dancer/singer/actor. He’s got everything going for him. He’s dating Praifa (Grace Karnklao), a supermodel and they are going to get engage in a month. Everything is peachy until he receives a puzzling email from a young girl name Aida or Aidaya who is claiming him to be her father and Kate (Jakajaan), Danthep’s former girlfriend from years and years ago, as her mother. Another big whopper, Aida intends to come to Thailand to see him. The email troubles Danthep, so he tells his personal assistant Pung (Oliver Beaver) that roughly 15 years ago, he might have gotten a girl pregnant one summer in Holland, the girl is Kate. Without finding out the truth, Kate’s mother lies to him and barred him from seeing Kate ever again, so he doesn’t feel sure if Aida is his daughter. Regardless if it is true or not, he knows it could get messy if people knew the details of his relationship with Aida. He is an entertainer and having a love-child at such a young age, true or not, it will be a BIG SCANDAL. He has to control the situation.
Aida does come to Thailand and Danthep does allow her to stay with him. I’m assuming to control the situation. Then Kate comes to Thailand to look for Aida. To her surprise, her daughter Aida is with Danthep, the man she has been avoiding for years.
For years, Kate believed that Danthep abandoned her and didn’t want to take responsibility for their child, but this is all a misunderstanding feed to her by her mother. In truth, Danthep never knew about her pregnancy. With Aida in Thailand and staying with Danthep, Kate and Danthep meet again, and life becomes more complicated for Danthep because one, he still has feelings for Kate. Two, he now has a big secret to hide from the public.
I’m not sure when “Phaw Nu bpen Superstar (My dad is a SUPERSTAR)” will air, different places have different air dates. At Sanook, it said January 8, 2010, but that alien lakorn starring Por and Pung hasn’t even ended yet. I don’t know the exact date but I can assure you it will be soon, maybe this week or next.
The happy family–Danthep (Weir), Kate (Jakajaan), and their daughter Aida (Ying).
Weir and Jakajaan are two young parents.
Oliver Beaver and Pear Pornrampa play side characters. Oliver is Pung, Danthep’s personal assistant. Pear is Oh, Kate’s friend.
You can tell from these pictures, Weir is going to play the fun parent while Jakajaan is the strict one. Look at how he is hugging her with all the junk food while Jakajaan is looking on grudgingly with one noodle bag.
Tengnueng is Keta, Danthep’s rival entertainer from the same company. He is envious of Danthep’s fame and wants to bring him down. Grace is Danthep’s girlfriend Praifah.

Aaah, don’t hate on Por and Pang’s alien lakorn~ It was really weird when I heard it but I gave it a chance. It’s a pretty darn cute lakorn. V4 OK!
And actually, the 15 year-old daughter is the same girl from that alien lakorn, she plays as Por’s (a little annoying) sister. Isn’t she like..Miss Teen Thailand or something?

WEIR! <3333333
I’ve been dying to know the storyline. He looks so gorgeous. Just darn handsome.
It’s funny how Ying looks just the same age as her “parents” Weir and Jakajaan, but I guess if they think it works..xD

OMG, I know what you mean. Jakajaan and Ying have similar features, they look more like siblings than a mother and daughter duo. I have to agree with everyone, it does remind me of Speed Scandal minus the grandson.

Ah yes my kind of story- something new and fresh in lakorns. Just hope it turns out as good as the short summary from Lyn.

Looks really interesting.

This sounds like ‘The Game Plan’ with the Rock. Just that he was a football player but the daughter part and him not knowing sounds exactly alike. Also, just today I saw a commercial for a new NBC show with the daughter showing up at the dad’s door, telling him, “I’m your daughter.” Anyways, back to this, he’s 30. His daughter is 15 so that means he got he girl pregnant at 15. Kindof young, no?

seems like a similar plotline to the korean hit movie of last year, “speed scandal”. either way, it sounds entertaining!!

Miss Tengneung !

Interesting. Cant wait. hehehe.
The story line is similar the the korean movie Speeding Scandal except the daughter had a kid too and the mother died long ago.

& laughed at ‘but that alien lakorn starring Por and Pang hasn’t even ended yet.’ it sounds like you just want Weir’s lakorn out, I don’t blame you, would too

for a moment when I was looking at the title I was what the heck? but then I clicked & read
January 6th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Oh! My my, totally looking forward for this lakorn.
Sounds interesting already, but I kinda wished they found a girl that looked a bit younger and have a babyish face; just a opinion of mine.
Thank you Lyn, totally excited.

OMG! I LOVE WEIR! *screams! But………Jakjann??? Ehhhh….I don’t know about her. Of all people why Jakjann?? I don’t think they look good together. The story seems funny, but seriously?? That means Weir made that chick when he was only 15???? They could have found somebody “older” looking (like Vee) to play this role. Oh well. That’s kinda funny because isn’t Weir like a triple treat in reality as well?? lol. ( :
