Description
CALVIN CHEN!!!! RULEZZZ!!!!
Up close with Calvin Chen
Also a member of the Fahrenheit band, Calvin Chen’s Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru, born in Taiwan in Nov. 10, 1980 (Scorpion). He’s six-footer, weighs 143 lbs., with type A blood. He finished high school at Jianguo High School (one of the top schools in Taiwan) and college at the Simon Fraser University in Canada, and earned his M.A. in Economics at the University of Victoria.
While in Canada, Calvin competed in Sunshine Boyz, a pageant-like competiton, in Vancouver, emerging a winner. Among his prizes was a free ticket to Taiwan, a contract with a music company and a role in a drama. Currently enrolled at the National Chengchi University in Taipei, taking up Public Finance, Calvin speaks English and two Chinese dialects (Mandarin and Hokkien; he understands conversational Cantonese).
In Romantic Princess, he also plays one of the four successors to a big business empire.
Your Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru. What does it mean?
“Ru means scholar. My mom wants me to study hard. Yi means polite. My mom also wants me to be polite with people.”
How has your life been in Vancouver?
“Good. Very good! I went there when I was 18 and I lived by myself for seven years. I learned to be independent. It made my world wider and bigger.”
How many brothers and sisters do you have?
“I have one sister, two years older than I am. She’s getting married at the end of this year. I’m happy for her.”
What made you live in Vancouver by yourself?
“My dad wanted me to be independent. And I also wanted to be. For half a year, I stayed with my friends and then I lived by myself for more than six years. I was a student. I did everything by myself, including the laundry, cleaning the house, going to the grocery and doing the dishes — and paying all the bills.”
You took up Economics in college. Did you also want to put up your own business?
“If I did not become a model and an actor, I would have ended up in a financial institution, such as one dealing in stocks. Even now, I always read the business section when I get hold of a newspaper.”
You’ve been in Vancouver for seven years. Didn’t you experience any culture shock?
“Canada is a multi-cultural country. There are so many people from different countries — Japan, Korea, India, Philippines, etc….so many different races there. I’ve gotten to know so many people from different countries and I’ve learned how to respect their cultures and their traditions. I’ve learned how to adjust to any new culture and new environment.”
What are your hobbies?
(Joked Wu Chun, “Looking at the stocks. Hahahaha!”)
“Watching movies, going out with friends. Nothing much.”
How do you take care of your body?
“I don’t eat late. I learned from Chun what food is nutritious and what is junk food. He always tells me to eat and eat because he thinks I’m too skinny.”
(Wu Chun: “He was very skinny before. But now he’s okay. He also sometimes goes to the gym and that’s good.”)
Who’s your role model?
“My dad. He’s the vice president of a company. He takes good care of our family and that’s the most important thing. He gave me a good education, including sending me to Vancouver to be independent. He’s 58, getting old, and his heart is not so good so I worry about him. I can’t spend so much time with him. And when I do, I go out to dinner with him.”
What’s your ideal girl?
“Same with Chun’s — simple and a happy girl. The feeling is important. Somebody who can be a friend and a family to me. Somebody with the same values as I have and who can work together with me.”
Is nationality a factor?
“Not really. I had a Korean girlfriend before.”
(Wu Chun: “You want a Bruneian girlfriend? Hahahaha.”)[/orange
Do you want a Filipina girlfriend?
“Why not?”
You still have time to look for one before you fly back to Taipei tomorrow.
“Hahahahaha!”
Describe Wu Chun in three words.
“Mature. Responsible. Hard-working.”
