Zhu Houren's Son Joel Choo Knows What He's Wearing For Star Awards 2022… And It’s Wheely Interesting
Transformers, roll out!
At this year's Star Awards, one particular outfit took up everyone’s attention — Elvin Ng’s now-iconic bandung-hued ombre suit.
It's a breath of fresh air from usual years where the gowns were pretty much all everyone could talk about — after all, there’s only so much you can say about a plain ol’ tuxedo, right?
Elvin's tall drink of bandung look wasn't the only suit that earned comparisons to local beverages, though — Joel Choo's tan suit was compared to kopi and teh by local supermarket chain Fairprice.
Even though Joel, who is the son of Zhu Houren, didn't get to go on stage this year — he was nominated in the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste category — the 26-year-old had no qualms making an award acceptance speech anyway.
And he did it in style in a hilarious IG video, where Joel hoisted not a Star Awards trophy but some canned kopi and teh the supermarket chain had sent him as a gift.
You only have a minute for your speech, okay?
“I'd like to thank my dad and my mum… as well as my friends who’ve supported me, [and for] saying that I looked like teh ping,” Joel said in his mock acceptance speech.
He then cut to a conversation he had with a friend, who wondered if the actor would be able to score more free things if Joel switched up his dressing next year.
Yay or nay?
And we guess that statement really got the wheels in Joel’s head turning and it seems like he’s settled on his outfit for next year (see gif above).
Here's Joel's hilarious video in full:
Will he turn up in his Transformer best on the red carpet next year with his dad?
We’re looking forward to your Transformer cosplay next year at Star Awards, Joel.
The COE on your free monster truck’s going to be really hefty, though.
