"What do you want to be when you grow up?" It is a question that everyone has probably been asked at least once, happening most often when there was no real need for a concrete answer.
Back then, the answer one gave was based purely on personality. The career choices could range from scientist to superstar, teacher to even the ever-so-ambiguous "rich person". Back then, the sky was the limit so long as one dared to dream.
However, some kids are born more self-aware at an earlier age, and Natachai Boonprasert or Dunk - though he has only just turned 24 seems to have made it a point to assert his maturity whenever he speaks, moves, or even bats an eyelash.
In another interview, the Thai native said he wanted to become an astronaut and then a pilot - the latter choice following in the footsteps of his grandfather. He went on to major in a related field, becoming an engineering undergraduate at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, before GMMTV scouted him via a short film - a gig he only took at a senior's recommendation.
Fast-forward to the present day - and he has since graduated school becoming the beloved life force of Daonuea in Star and Sky: Star in my Mind and Zo in Hidden Agenda. He is also the beacon of light to an ever-growing legion of fans, who have managed to reveal how big of a sweetheart he is in real life. He never tires of championing them as his number one source of strength and solace whenever the chance to express gratitude and motivation is given.
His meteoric rise was bound to happen. Chancing upon one of his livestreams with fans, one will know why.
