Interview with Chua Enlai from The Noose

Chua Enlai

FLY Entertainment Artiste

Enlai has an unofficial NDP video which I enjoyed watching. *I love how it pokes fun at TPL! LOL*

1) Why did you choose to go into acting and hosting?

It was always something I wanted to do. Fortunately, I had parents and teachers who believed in the craft and that it wasn’t some frivolous dream, and let me plunge into it. The mentality that it is simply a back-up plan is what makes the industry suffer.

2) How do you and the rest of the cast on The Noose manage to keep a straight face when spouting those hilarious lines? 

We don’t! It’s TV. We simply do another take! But seriously, a lot of work goes into making things funny. We are always improvising.

3) What do you do when it’s a day you’re feeling down but still have to act in a funnyman’s role?

Comedy is the hardest thing on earth. That’s why having a role to play sometimes feels better than trying to be funny in my own right.

We all play roles in our lives anyway. We play the husband, colleague etc. Just depends on how much you enjoy it.

4) What keeps you going in the tough entertainment world?

The money. HAHAHAHA. No lah! I keep on going because I actually enjoy doing it and wouldn’t have it any other way!

5) If you’re not an actor or a host, what would you be?

An architect. It’s what I studied. I’m still fascinated by it. I’m a geek!

 

Grace says: It’s hard to tell that Enlai’s a geek! He’s talented at comedy though - Jacques Ooi & BB See on The Noose are hilarious.

I hope you caught his dance moves in the vid above. :D

I’ll be interviewing another person from The Noose – the President of the SPGs club! :D Catch that interview later this year.
