Actor Thai Hoa (full name Ho Thai Hoa), born in 1974, in Ho Chi Minh City, is a familiar face of Vietnamese cinema with more than two decades of artistic activity. Thanks to many impressively sold works, he is known as the "box office king", "Million Dollar actor".
In 2025, the actor participated in two major projects, "The Tunnels: Sun in the Dark" (released in April), achieving revenue of over 170 billion VND, and "Death in the Air" (September), exceeding revenue of 250 billion VND, continuing to affirm its box office appeal.
Despite success on screen, Thai Hoa lives a quiet life and rarely appears at crowded events. He said that he suffers from crowd phobia syndrome, and also has symptoms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
The actor shared that he is introverted, uncomfortable talking about himself in front of crowds and often spends most of his time researching scripts and delving into characters.
However, when new films are released in theaters, he still tries to arrange to participate in promotion and hopes to receive sympathy from the audience.
Martial arts legend Jackie Chan recently also publicly admitted for the first time that he has suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) since childhood.
Participating in a social media platform to share about everyday life, the action star does not appear with a familiar glamorous image, but chooses to chat sincerely and closely with fans.
In those shares, he revealed that he always has difficulty maintaining concentration - a characteristic of ADHD, a neurological developmental disorder that makes people easily distracted, hyperactive and impulsive.
Jackie Chan said he learned to live with this syndrome by keeping himself busy: traveling, exercising, singing, taking care of plants and pets.
He was straightforward but also humorous: "How can someone like me, a person with ADHD, concentrate?". Looking back at the journey, he admitted that concentration was a challenge from a young age, but it was that energy that became a persistent motivation to help him stick with cinema for decades.
