The actor said: "For the past two years, I have rarely appeared in public. Because a role I played... Maybe at that time, the effectiveness of this role was not good.
I also felt that the audience didn't like me very much. So I choose to meet less people. After that, as an actor, I think I have to try to focus on the role, try my hand and enjoy the next roles.
Duong Duong did not directly mention the name of the character "the audience does not like", but the media and netizens all understood that Duong Duong wanted to mention the role of Tong Diem in the movie "My human fire".
In the interview, Duong Duong hesitated when talking about this role. But in the end, he decided to speak up, stating that he would "couragefully face" past criticism.
In 2023, the TV series "My human fire smoke" starring Duong Duong and Vuong So Nhien experienced a fierce boycott. The work was given below average on Douban with countless criticisms.
The film is controversial because of errors in script development, especially a series of details that are said to downplay firefighters and doctors. In particular, Duong Duong's role as Tong Diem was criticized for being unreal because of his flawed character building and forced, stiff acting.
Duong Duong is not highly appreciated for his acting. For many years in the profession, he has always been mocked as an actor who has nothing but beauty. However, he still has hit works such as Love You at First Sight, You Are My Pride thanks to his communal male-done novel appearance.
But by the time "My human fire smoke" aired, the role of Tong Diem had become the biggest "black spot" in Duong Duong's career.
After this film, for 2 years, he did not appear on screen with new films, and rarely participated in major entertainment events.
From the beginning of 2025, Duong Duong has begun to promote two ancient fairy tale projects "Pham Nhan Tu Tien" and "Vu Lam Linh".
Recently, "The Newspaper" aired and attracted attention. Although the work has not exploded as expected, it has also recorded certain achievements, somewhat "saving" Duong Duong's image after the crisis.
The acting ability of the 1991-born handsome man is still a controversial issue. However, Duong Duong's historical look in this film received many compliments.
The actor has many hot scenes, scenes such as Han Lap removing his mask, or some scenes of acting with his own eyes when looking directly into the camera. The audience also appreciated that Duong Duong's expressions have improved and become more restrained than before.
The production crew praised Duong Duong's dedication to the role. The actor performed many action scenes, martial arts and hanging ropes in the air continuously without using a stunt double. This led to serious injuries to the legs and hip joints and had to undergo surgery after filming stopped.
