Exactly one year after Men’s Folio first met Dew Jirawat, we caught up with the trailblazing Thai actor to talk about the past year in review. Dive into Dew’s highlight reel of meaningful moments refining his artistry on screen and record, finding his voice and its resonance in the fashion conversation, lots of travelling and learning to remain steadfast in his quest for success with utmost sincerity and drive.
Hi Dew! How was your New Year?
My New Year was a pretty average day; my routine is quite typical. I didn’t engage in any activities on New Year’s Eve. I usually prefer to stay at home during this holiday.
Like all seasons, winter holds unique memories — the smell of the streets and the sensation of cold air on the skin. How do you remember winter?
I immediately think of snowmen when I think of winter. My elder brother, sister, and I made a huge snowman when I was really young. Everything from that day is vividly etched in my memory. It might even be the earliest recollection of my life.
Are you one to make New Year’s resolutions? How did you fare in 2023? What goals did you set to accomplish in 2023 and eventually achieve?
Not particularly for the New Year, but I consistently set goals that evolve with time. In 2023, my emphasis was on my acting endeavours — with numerous projects where I aimed to take on lead roles. I was more focused during the year 2023.
What new acting roles or genres are you looking forward to trying next?
