Though he has established himself as an actor, Wallace initially had his heart set on becoming a singer. He only took on his first acting role in the drama, Star, as he would be given the opportunity to sing the drama’s theme song.

Soon after, more acting offers came his way and it was his performance as talented music director in the 2003 idol drama At Dolphin Bay, which propelled him to fame. That same year, he was casted in a total of seven idol dramas, a feat that no other actor has ever accomplished.

Thanks to his popularity on the small screen, he was approached to headline several movies, including Hands in the Air, Ultra Reinforcement, Inside or Outside and the recently released Our Time Will Come.

Wallace took everyone by surprise when he admitted to being in a relationship with fellow actress, Ruby Lin on his Weibo account. The two were friends for ten years before their relationship turned romantic, and they got married in 2016 in a Bali destination wedding.

It’s a case of reel life turned to real life for this blissfully wedded pair. They first played lovers in the Sound Of Colors in 2006 and then again in 2011, in The Glamorous Imperial Concubine.

They looking so gorgeous!!! ??? #WallaceHuo #RubyLin

From accounts of those close to him, it seems that he is taking to fatherhood like a fish to water. Ruby herself has called him a “100 percent a good father who would help change diapers and bath the baby”, while his Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace co-star, Hu Ke, has said that the first-time dad “bragged that he was able to handle all aspect of child rearing, from feeding the baby, to changing the diaper and washing up after a child”.

The loving dad has mentioned that he is considering having a second child, so it looks like ‘Little Angel’ might have a playmate soon!
