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).
