Shane Pow on how acting has changed him as a person

It’s called Mister Flower, also starring Elvin Ng, Rui En, and more. This drama is pretty interesting and unlike anything I’ve done before. The premise revolves around Rui En, a ghost who needs to complete 100 tasks before she can be reincarnated. I play a male chauvinist who looks down on women. But as Rui En takes over my body, I begin to realise things from a female’s perspective, slowly changing my attitude in life. In the first few episodes, she’ll be acting as me. We needed to discuss how we were going to portray this character together. That’s something new that viewers can look forward to.

What he’s wearing: Viscose sweater, poplin shirt, wool trousers, wool long coat, and leather boots. Bottega Veneta.

Grooming: Alison Tay, using M.A.C Cosmetics & Kevin.Murphy

I’ve developed this two-hour rule rule if I needed to read, exercise or handle my business. It helps to eliminate unproductive time spent on the phone, for example, and more time with loved ones, and me-time.

I’ve become more responsible. I used to procrastinate, leaving things undone. As an actor, I’ve become more detailed… It allows me to see things differently, and add more depth to the characters that I’m portraying.
