What's special about 1.8m tall, 90kg Thien Loi in Tao Quan

Huyền Chi |

With a tall appearance and humorous acting, the young actor is jokingly called by the audience as the heaviest Thien Loi in Tao Quan.

At Tao Quan 2025, actor Manh Dung (nickname Dung Hon) continues to be assigned the role of Pho Thien Loi. He also has a special role in this year's show.

The actor has spent many years accompanying Tao Quan in different roles such as multi-level marketing, "son of a boss"... But mainly, he was assigned to play the role of Thien Loi.

Manh Dung is considered the heaviest Thunder God in Heaven, weighing nearly 90kg and standing 1.8m tall. At one point, he weighed up to 100kg.

Thanks to his outstanding appearance, Manh Dung brings interesting colors to the role of Thien Loi, both fierce but also naive and humorous.

Talking about his chance to join Tao Quan, Manh Dung once shared that artist Van Dung was the one who introduced him. The first year the actor joined Tao Quan, he was only a backup, but when the actor playing Thien Loi was busy, the opportunity came to him.

This is also the role that helped Manh Dung leave an impression on the audience. Among the 5 artists who have previously portrayed Thien Loi, Manh Dung is also the youngest.

For Dung Hon, being chosen by director - Meritorious Artist Do Thanh Hai to play Tao Quan was like a dream. He shared: "In 2016, I was able to step into the Tao Quan family with the role of a young multi-level salesman. After this "trial" role, Mr. Do Thanh Hai boldly assigned me the role of Thien Loi. Honestly, since I was little, I liked the Tao Quan program. When I entered the University of Theater and Cinema, I also dreamed of stepping onto the Tao Quan stage."

When the director "finalized" the role of Thien Loi, Manh Dung was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

Manh Dung once revealed that he was nicknamed Dung Hon because when he was studying at the University of Theatre and Cinema, there were many people named Dung, so he chose a name that suited his personality.

Manh Dung's real name is Luu Manh Dung, born in 1991, graduated from Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema and is working at Tuoi Tre Theater.

Manh Dung has acted in the movies "Cung cuon 22+", "Color of love", "Girls in the city" and participated in the plays: "Who is the culprit", "Justice does not fall"...

In real life, actor Manh Dung has a happy family with his wife, born in 1993, and their son. He shared that he first met his wife while filming a commercial at her company, then fell in love and decided to live together.

His wife is working as an office worker, although she is not in the industry, she is understanding and sympathetic to her husband's profession. Whenever he has free time, Manh Dung stays home to play with his children and takes his family on vacations.
