Oh Anuchit Archive

The cast of “Tomorrow, I’ll still love you” on the “3mum3num” variety show hosted by Mos, Kob, and Tang. Yes, I freaking squealed when they interview Fluke and Oh, our gay couple in the lakorn. I have become obsess with this couple more so than the main leads–their relationship in the lakorn represents everything I want love to be–devoted, simple, instinctual, and pure. I have this big tendency to gravitate towards innocent, loyal love without consideration of type (straight or gay it’s really irrelevant), Kong and Phiwit’s relationship in “Tomorrow, I’ll still love you” embodies everything I believe in. Yes, it’s a gay relationship, but who cares. It’s just profoundly beautiful. I love it!!! I love them.

I don’t know whether Pachara “Fluke” Thammon and Oh Anuchit are gay in real life, I don’t think it matters. Both are talented performers, they should be recognize for their work more than their personal lives. Honestly, I don’t think Oh is gay. I’ve seen his work with women and now I have seen his work with a guy (Fluke), with either gender, he does his job well. He’s an actor who understands that to be a performer, you have to take risks. Occasionally, you will have to play gay roles. He puts his all into and I just love the results.

Oh and Fluke’s interview starts around the 7:54 time mark. At the beginning, Fluke did not know he was accepting a gay role. He was told he was going to be in a lakorn with Pong Nawat, Aom Phiyada, Pin Kejmanee, and Oh Anuchit. Not until the fitting did he find out that it was gay role. So he had no choice.

“At the beginning, my handlers didn’t tell me, they just said I had a role in a lakorn with Aom, Pong, Oh, James, and Pin. Thus I thought about that, the task of working with my co-stars. I was more afraid about holding them back. Then, lastly, I found out that my character would fall in love with Oh.” Fluke said with an embarrassed smile. He’s so cute!

I nearly died when they reenacted their most embarrassing scene, the scene where Kong came over to Phiwit’s house for the first time for their physical therapy session. In the scene, Kong and Phiwit were bickering and near the end, Kong says, “If you dislike me this much, I will get a replacement for you.” Oh, saying his lines as Phiwit, looked at Fluke and said, “who said I didn’t like you.”–it was such an epic moment. Love it.

Then they showed a montage of Kong and Phiwit scenes with one of my all time favorite songs, Da Endorphine’s “Mai Tong Roo Wah Rao Kob Gun Baeb Nhai (loosely translated as ‘you don’t need to know how we see each other’)”. You can listen to the song here.

I love Oh and his jokes. When he receive the Phiwit role, he didn’t tell his mother because he knows she will have a fit. Oh said his mother doesn’t mind about negative news written about him but she does care about the gay news. “Since I have entered the entertainment industry and news is generated about me, my mother was never concerned. But regarding the gay rumors, she is concern because she has to provide an explanation to people and even to her relatives, ” says Oh.

When he accepted the role, he didn’t tell his mother (luckily, she lived aboard), he only told his father.

“Up to this day, when my mother asked, who am I co-starring with. I would tell her, there is Pong and Aom. (mimicking his mother’s voice) You’re co-starring with Pong again?” Everyone laughs at his joke.

“Then my mother would ask, who am I paired off with. I would tell her I’m coupled with a newcomer and she wouldn’t know that person.”

Finally, when she learned that he was portraying a gay role, she was not too happy about it and asked him, how will she answer people? So Oh jokily told her, “tell them I got paid.”

The show ended with Fluke singing his latest single, “Kwaam roo seuk dee-dee (tee mai aat bok krai)’-loosely translated as “the good feelings we have for each other (that should not be shared with others)”. The song was written for the lakorn to narrate Kong and Phiwit’s secret romance.

Love the performance by Fluke. He’s amazing.
