GIRLFRIEND OF GODFREY GAO

Fame comes with its equal share of all odds. The paparazzi are watching everything you do and if you’re not careful, you end up in the cruel hands of netizens. For Godfrey, there is nothing different. There were speculations and romances that he was dating his non-celebrity girlfriend Bella since July 2017.

GODFREY GAO GAY

When a famous person like Godfrey clearly comes out to defend the accusations that he’s seeing someone, fans immediately smell a rat. Worse still, he made it clear that he was too busy to see anyone right now. Who do this? I mean he should have someone to relax him after a long day at work. Anyway, we all have different ways to relax and hers is quite mysterious.

The model and actor may be known for his charming smile and good looks, but we can neither prove nor deny any claims about his sexuality. The fact that there was something small between him and Bella would make us think of him as honest. Unless of course he proves us otherwise!

INTERVIEW WITH GODFREY GAO | GODFREY GAO LOUIS VUITTON

Q: You are a returning cover personality. Did you fly it this time during the photo shoot?

Godfrey Gao: [Laughs] It gets easier and the pictures look great! It’s been a nice break from filming and I’ve always loved the high fashion aesthetic of the magazine. Yes you are right. It’s easier than acting and preparing for a role.

Q: How do movie roles differ from TV roles?

Godfrey Gao: Our expressions are a bit more exaggerated on TV. On film, you need to have more nuanced gestures because every muscle in your face is magnified on screen. There’s a subtlety involved to make sure we’re not over-acting and chewing up the scenery for the sake of it. I am very happy that Remembering Lichuan was well received. We filmed for a few years and you can probably tell by the way our characters dressed it was a bit dated. Still, the timing was right for a romance in a contemporary setting when there were too many period dramas. I’ve been focusing on acting for ten years and I’m still learning something new every day.

Q: How do you flex into the different roles that come your way?

Godfrey Gao:Well, a script with the background of the character usually provides a basic guide and from there I’m going to do my homework and make a character of my own. It’s more difficult when you represent a historical character or a fictional character from a novel. I played Magnus Bane [in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones] who was a wizard in a fantasy novel. There were no real experiences to rely on and it was quite difficult. I read the book and had many meetings with the director to understand the different attributes of the character. In comparison, Remembering Lichuan was also a novel, but the character traits of the protagonist were similar to mine. I just had to be Alex Wang Lichuan for the character to come to life.

Q: What are the weirdest places you’ve been recognized?

Godfrey Gao: I had no idea I had so many Mexican fans after The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones became a global hit. I’ve never been to the countryside and as we drove into town I saw huge billboards of the movie. It was heartbreaking to see over five thousand fans screaming our names. We took pictures and I found it quite exciting and scary at the same time.

Q: Are you an effectively bilingual actor now?

Godfrey Gao: English is my first language. When I first returned to Taiwan, my command of Mandarin was terrible. I was instructed to read Chinese newspapers every day and the production house team will help me remember my lines as I didn’t recognize many words on the scripts. I’m grateful to them for being patient because it was a struggle at first. My Mandarin has improved considerably since then and my English has regressed a bit. It’s a bit tricky when I have to mentally switch languages ​​when I get interviews in English or Mandarin. Then I go to New York for a romantic comedy about a struggling Broadway actor,

Q: You are a basketball player and an NBA fan. Where did you learn to play?

Godfrey Gao: I started playing in elementary school. When I moved to Vancouver, I got more involved in the game and played two years on my varsity team. I grew up watching Michael Jordan and Kobe Byrant, and I wanted to be a professional athlete. It didn’t work, but I guess it worked for the best. When Asian players like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin started to excel in the league, my heart swelled with pride. In a way, they were fulfilling my dream of becoming big in the game that I loved.

Q: You have met many NBA legends. Have you ever been starstruck when meeting a professional basketball player?

Godfrey Gao: There was this time when I was asked by Nike to translate for Kobe Bryant during one of his off-season trips to Taiwan. It was in 2006, when he had just lost 81 points to the Toronto Raptors. We were on the same basketball court and I would describe my behavior as “rather shy.” I didn’t know what to do or what to say. He was kind, professional and clearly a very smart individual who knows how to engage a crowd. We had dinner with the crew after the event and I didn’t want the day to end.

Q: What do you admire in NBA players?

Godfrey Gao: It would be the dedication of these monster athletes to their craft. I’m impressed with the discipline of the players I’ve met in their diet and training regimen. I still play recreationally whenever I get the chance. The upcoming season will be exciting with Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors. My money is on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers as repeat champions. I also play golf, but I take it as a leisure game to meet friends and go out with me.

Q: What has been your biggest extravaganza since becoming famous?

Godfrey Gao:Well, I splurged on a Maserati GranTurismo because they gave me a good deal. Does it count? I hardly drive the car because I travel frequently for my job. I’m pretty careful with money and my first order of business when I did was to buy my first house and take care of my parents. I like to think that I have the chance to represent brands. The thing about being a brand ambassador is that it’s a humbling experience because they trust you with their reputation. I’m learning this firsthand trying to create my own brand that blends functional sportswear with fashion – think cool dress shirts with sweat-wicking fabric and reflective stripes for that after-work bike ride.

Q: You are part-Malaysian and were also the first Asian man to headline a Louis Vuitton campaign which was shot in Cameron Highlands. Do you still go back often?

Godfrey Gao: I will be back later this year for a cousin’s wedding. My mother is Peranakan and she is from Penang. I also spent last Chinese New Year there and had a blast with my uncles, aunts and cousins. I took long walks on the beach and feasted on deep-fried ais kacang and kuey tiao. I like everything! I have my reservations about durians – especially the mao shan wang variety as they smell horrible!
