Is TV's Next Big Thing Ayden Sng, An Erhu-Playing Godfrey Gao-Lookalike?
The name Ayden Sng may be an unfamiliar one to you now, but we think it’s really just a matter of time.
In showbusiness, we’re always looking for the Next Big Thing. Someone new who makes you sit up and take notice. Someone who makes a first impression so strong that you bestow upon him or her superlatives like ‘The Face of Tomorrow” or ‘Breakout Star’. Someone who checks all the boxes.
And very few people check all the boxes quite like Ayden Sng, a Singaporean actor on the cusp of being a star. The 25-year-old isn’t just articulate and eloquent when he speaks in English, he also converses in perfect Mandarin. He’s a straight-A Raffles Institution alum and Duke University graduate who also happens to be musically-gifted — he can play the violin, piano, and is so talented at the erhu, he was in the Singapore National Youth Chinese Orchestra. He’s also a 1.83m-tall drink of water who looks like the lovechild of Godfrey Gao and Leehom.
Oh yeah, one more thing: he was also a Commando in NS.
