Those catching new horror film Kong Tao in cinemas will realise one thing: Why is Glenn Yong<\/a> the only one who looks so good throughout?<\/p>\n The Malaysia-Singapore-Thailand production, which premiered on Mar 19, also stars Thai star Kao Supassara, Hong Kong actor Phillip Keung as well as local content creator\u00a0Mayiduo<\/a>.<\/p>\n The other characters in the movie either die gruesomely or had their faces covered in blood or crawling maggots, while the 29-year-old remained almost \u201cclean\u201d all the way.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with Chinese media Zaobao.sg<\/a>, the TC Candler\u00a0100 Most Handsome Faces<\/a> winner\u00a0explained why he was the only cast member who escaped from a face full of gory make-up.<\/p>\n Is it because he has an \u201cidol baggage\u201d? The actor was quick to deny it: \u201cI don\u2019t have concerns at all!\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, Glenn did ask the production team about it.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy does everyone else get such intense and striking scenes, while mine is so \u2018safe\u2019?\u201d he probed.<\/p>\n That was when they told him they had no choice because they needed someone to be the \u201cvisual\u201d of the film, by which they presumably meant a strikingly good-looking face of the film to draw the audience in.<\/p>\n Glenn even requested to try uglier, dirtier looks, \u201cbut they wouldn\u2019t allow it, so there was nothing I could do.\u201d<\/p>\n Then there was Mayiduo… “I wanted to be the movie’s ‘visual’ but the director didn’t allow!” quipped the content creator.<\/p>\n Kong Tao, which revolves around black magic, also depicts the possibility of getting bewitched by way of taking photos with other people.\u00a0<\/p>\n For celebs like Glenn, who has fans asking for photos all the time, has he since become more wary of such requests?<\/p>\n “Such situations are hard to avoid.\u00a0So for things I can\u2019t control, I don\u2019t dwell on them, I just focus on doing my best,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
