During the important holidays celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, singer My Tam always appears in Hanoi with the bodyguard she has been with for many years - actress Tung Yuki. From the rehearsals at My Dinh Stadium to the official parade and morning parade on the morning of September 2, he was always quietly the protector of the female singer in crowded places.
Sharing after the event, Tung Yuki admitted that the past few days have been a particularly busy but emotional time. The image of the entire nation enthusiastically turning towards the historic Ba Dinh moved him.
In addition to the work of a familiar bodyguard and actor on screen, Tung Yuki lives a private life, sharing little about his family to protect his private peace.
He has never shared a photo of his wife and children with the media. The reason is that his family has always been used to living simply, not wanting to be disrupted.
He rarely told his wife that he did not like her husband to act in movies because he was worried about being tempted, but in the end still agreed to let him continue his passion.
The two daughters, on the other hand, are very proud and often watch their father's roles on the small screen.
At the age of 63, the actor chose a slow life, prioritizing travel, volunteering, exercising with martial arts, swimming, running, reading. He believes that the most important thing is still the spirit because if the mind is not at peace, health will also be poor.
Tung Yuki's real name Nguyen Van Tung, born in 1962, is a long-time bodyguard of My Tam. Previously, he was the bodyguard of many famous stars in the Vietnamese entertainment industry.
He was called "father" by My Tam. On screen, he played My Tam's father in the movie "My Assistant Sister".
In his film career with more than 30 films, Tung Yuki is affectionately called by the audience as the "national father" of Vietnamese cinema. However, the most unforgettable mark comes from the role of the anti-child "Old Buddha" in "The Secret of the Golden Triangle", the character that created a special nickname associated with him until today.
