Walking into the Bangkok-based studio with a distinctive white bag paired with denim jeans, "Off" Jumpol Adulkittiporn exudes an air of confidence his playful charm palpable. Perhaps it is because we are on his home turf; you would think that a rising star of his magnitude would travel with an entourage but on this occasion, he is simply accompanied by a sole manager. Off is part of a growing generation of prominent Thai personalities that has reached global success a platform he does not take for granted. "The most important thing is to provide good work for all my fans. I need to be strong and improve myself, and I hope everyone will like me for who I am," shares Off-cluing us in to the man behind the over four million followers he has amassed on Instagram (not to mention the additional million on Twitter).
Off fronts the May cover of Men's Folio Malaysia with the theme of "High Shine in All Forms" and the timing could not have been better for the 32-year old actor, model and host. 2023 marks Off's 10th year in the entertainment industry, starting out as the host for the 2013 television show Five Live Fresh before appearing in a guest role in the Thai drama series Hormones that same year. However, his breakout performance was arguably his role as "Khai" in the 2019 TV series Theory of Love which garnered him a legion of fans who were enamored by his on-screen chemistry alongside "Gun" Atthaphan Phunsawat. Thus the viral hashtag #OffGun was born, resulting in an on-screen relationship that Off attributes as being his biggest source of professional growth thus far. "I have learned a lot from Gun because we have worked together on many projects, and I always see his acting skills constantly improving. He is an inspiration for me to push myself and improve my skills," Off shares.
