Gong Yoo

“Twitter, Instagram - I don't do it at all.”

“I have become more and more afraid about marriage and parenting. I think it's because I am getting older. Of course, there will be a lot to learn, and I also know that the experience will help in my acting.”

“I like going out to have street food without being disturbed. I like taking walks, but it's been so long since I've been able to do that. I miss feeling what I want to feel and walking around freely in crowded places.”

“Growing up I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, I watched big stars like Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung on the big screens.”

“As an actor, you have to face the public all the time. It is a job that people fantasies, but it also creates prejudices; these prejudices are the scariest things. People judge a personal life or your image, and it can affect the characters I play. Therefore, I try not to showcase my personal life too much.”

“I started to think maybe I could become an actor, but I didn't have the confidence.”

“I received a call from America after finishing 'Suspect', and I told them that I would go to America if things are ready.”

“I had a lot of friends who dreamed of being actors, and as I hung out with them, I became more interested in it.”

“When I become a character in a movie or drama... I can think about the character only and not the complicated matters of my own life.”

“I never thought about becoming an actor. Even when I applied for university, I didn't choose theater as a major to become an actor.”

“I was very surprised to see people who recognize me in Puerto Rico.”

“I learned that I can earn many things if I don't use stunts and do everything myself.”

“I don't know if this is because I'm a bit too old, but it is true that I'm getting insensible about romance recently. I'm very used to being alone now, and I don't think that's not half bad.”

“I tend to pick projects that give me a sense of freshness. So my filmography, especially after hitting my 30s, has become a lot more diverse.”

“The camera, I hate it. That's something I need to endure while working as an actor. In the end, because of fame, Gong Yoo exists. It's the driving force that keeps me going.”

“I heard I am one of the most representative bachelor actors of Korea with Kang Dong Won, So Ji Sub, and Hyun Bin.”

“I have been working as an actor for 16-17 years now. The funny thing is I still feel awkward in communicating with the public as a star. It hasn't been long since my drama 'Goblin' ended, and I'm looking forward for some time to rest.”

“'Infernal Affairs' is really amazing and was a really popular movie. I would be fine with playing any character in the movie.”

“Acting job can create a fantasy or stereotype for others. That's why we try not to show our personal lives so much.”

“I'm now in my late 30s, and I've been thinking a lot about marriage and family. To be honest, I've decided to push aside thoughts of marriage and personal questions for now.”
