WILD SIDE

Thai superstar, Win Metawin is the perfect picture of polished yet audacious for L’OFFICIEL SINGAPORE’s September issue. On our set, which can be described as “workplace gone wild”, the actor talks about his upcoming projects, Enigma 2 and Scarlet Heart Thailand, and his serious love of gelato

On social media, images and clips of Win Metawin have been inescapable in recent months. Not that anyone is complaining, really. It’s clear that the universe only wants more of the Thai superstar. The actor f inished the June 2024 menswear leg of Milan Fashion Week as the number two inf luencer in the world, racking up an Earned Media Value of US$5.3M with nine Instagram posts. Later that month, the Prada Ambassador sent his Malaysian fans into a mini meltdown as he attended the grand opening of Prada Beauty’s f irst boutique in Malaysia, at the Pavilion KL. Naturally, L’OFFICIEL SINGAPORE was there to catch up with the star on both occasions. As for our third encounter in just two months, it’s a bit of a calm after the storm. It is a public holiday in Thailand, and an unusually quiet Monday morning in Bangkok when Metawin arrives at the Soi Lad Phrao studio, all ready to talk to us about his recent adventures.

Hi Win! We last caught you at Prada’s menswear show in Milan, followed by a Prada Beauty event in Kuala Lumpur. What else have you been busy with?

This year, I had the opportunity to travel to various countries for Prada shows and Prada beauty events. I always look forward to experiencing Prada’s events and am equally delighted to meet fans wherever I go.

Audiences recently saw you in the film, Under Parallel Skies, and in the television series, Beauty Newbie. Looking back at these projects, what did you learn from them?
