A corporate lawyer turned actor is our suave dad crush this week.
British born, half-Malaysian, half greek heartthrob, George Young started out as qualified solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales but gave it all up when he realised his heart just wasn’t in it.
He got his foot wet in the entertainment scene when he appeared on British medical drama series, CASUAL+Y – he was hooked.
He went on to his first international feature role in a Bollywood film, Jhootha Hi Sahi and later did several commercials in Taiwan and Thailand. He co-hosted with (now wife) Janet Hsieh on the Discovery Communications’ Travel and Living Channel.
A call to Irene Ang, founder and CEO of Fly Entertainment sealed his fate when he was undecided between moving to Hong Kong and Singapore – and the rest they say is history. Needless to say, Singapore welcomed him with open arms.
George Young is an advocate for autism awareness both locally and internationally, having two brothers on the autistic spectrum. In 2012 and 2013, he partnered with Kiehl’s to raise awareness and money for the cause.
George met his Taiwanese-American TV host and model wife, Janet Hsieh while filming a commercial in Taiwan. Friends long before tying the knot in 2015, the happy couple welcomed their son, Egan on 11 October 2017 after 28 hours of labour.
Here’s a quick look at his Instagram @instageorgey!
