Embracing a New Perspective

The Heartfelt Impact

Finding Healing and Balance
Mai communicated candidly with Klao to gain insight into his perspective during that difficult period. Understanding the impact it had on both of them, May took responsibility for her own well-being and sought ways to regain balance and inner peace.

Navigating Toxicity

Recently, at the press conference for the launch of the dark comedy series Comedy 69 The Series, held at The Jam Factory, Charoen Nakhon Mai, she opened her heart to talk about working on this issue which greatly affected her thought Until the point of having to see a psychiatrist to heal his own mind
Ask about the great dedication in this series?
Very dedicated Body and mind This is the biggest in my life. When asked what made himself so dedicated, P’ Tom (Pen Ek) did not order. But we feel we want to do this well. Because we have the opportunity to work with the director we really want to work with.
Actually, this project is also my first netflix project. And want to go beyond the words everyone thinks we are stars Try to be a real actor who don’t care about anything, the image and everything There will be a period when I will be scared that my face changed here and there. But it’s normal.
The problem of losing weight causes us to encounter a lot?
A lot, but we will continue to tell everyone that this is because of work. Which most people will not know. and think we are definitely sick I’m crazy about being thin. It’s not. that comes from working on this story But we don’t intend to be thin.
When we start to get into it, it gradually becomes that character. Mai has been with Tum for 3 months, and being a Belly is considered something that makes Mai know herself a lot. Mai believes that everyone has weight in them. But it’s possible that not everyone knows it yet.
Seen it would never go back to being that thin again?
The new one doesn’t want anyone to reach that level. Then Mai was also shocked that he had reached that level. I didn’t like it, but it was natural.
After completing the project, did you gain weight?
The first thing is that we don’t just eat alone. He has to heal the heart too, go see a psychiatrist, consult someone who knows how to make us come back to love ourselves. When we begin to love ourselves begin to care for others send love to others We will begin to be happy every day.
Seeing food makes me want to eat. Because if suddenly Cut, then turn the camera off. fat now Walk into the shop to buy a burger and eat it. He can do it, but it’s not heartbreaking.
Does our devotion have an effect on our hearts?
Yes, absolutely, the people around me are… when it’s really heavy. But Mai didn’t tell anyone. Running away from home, something like this, very cruel, but I wasn’t running away after men. He ran away from home and went to a hotel alone.
It’s like it’s Tum’s decision. It is not a new decision. (Can’t the character be different from real life?) It’s like inviting him to be in real life with us too. At that time, Mom, Pee Klao (manager) knew all.
How did he follow back?
Klao is someone who hates Tum (laughs).
Twm causing trouble for Klao?
Very much (smiles) He doesn’t really like Tum. In parts with fans, something like this will feel like we don’t really care. (Affects Tea too?) Yes.
How did he say it?
I didn’t complain at all. When I was new, I knew what the problem was. Mai went to ask him what he was feeling during that time. He said something like this.
How did he find a way out when he found Tum?
I mean, it doesn’t really find a way out for us. But we find a way out for ourselves more because we know it’s not healthy. Anyway, Mai must be Davika’s Mai. be a star be an actor Whether Mai has a fan club, she has everything, Mai feels we have to balance. We don’t have to go that version at all, it’s not worth it.
And as of today, have you waved goodbye to Tum yet?
Yes, it is deep, very deep.
What makes us feel that it is no longer healthy for us?
If it is very heavy, Mai Mai sees dead people and feels nothing. (Don’t you feel excited by the news?) No, I’m not sad because I feel it’s the truth.
Dey, have you ever said that this is not new?
Used to say, this one is new, not on the list and he said the spirit has gone in (laughs), just saying some people will say their look has changed like this. Not a ghost (red face with tears)
Similar to Method Acting (Role entry) Something like that and it came out?
It’s like a method, I don’t like it anyway. don’t think to do it either but it could be similar
Are you afraid, if we get another role and we have to change again?
scared too but it’s good (Is it a challenge?) Because maybe if we have strength we do it alone But if we’re not strong enough to do something like this, we probably wouldn’t dare it do anymore
Is it toxic?
It’s very toxic, I can’t deny it. Accept and it’s true (smile).
Apparently De understands a lot. Because he had gained weight before?
Yes, so he rarely forbids anything in his work.
But now it’s beautiful Is there soft water?
I like it (laughs) I’m back. If it’s pressure, it doesn’t play, nothing.
