Shane Pow on how acting has changed him as a person

The 27-year-old is working on a ground-breaking role in a new supernatural show

They have the looks and street cred. Beyond that, they’re multi-talented, having conquered the red carpet and taken ownership of social media. They act, host, sing, direct and produce. In this celebrities’ edition of 20 Good Men of 2020, Her World presents a talent-stacked list who are making their mark in Singapore, China, Taiwan and India.

Shane Pow wasn’t always an actor. He was first talent-scouted by a modelling agency, and went on to join Manhunt before scoring roles in local productions. He soon became one of the most popular TV actors, and even snagged a spot in Star Awards’ Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes every year from 2015 to 2017.

We chatted with him to find out what he’s been up to and how acting has changed him.

Anything new that you’re working on?

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

You run an F&B business, how do you manage your time?

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.

How have you grown over the years?
custom

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.
