Actor Yuro Steps Beyond Comfort Zone With Challenging Film Role

Young actor Yuro Yasaworn Thawapee is stepping out of his comfort zone to develop himself professionally. His latest challenging film project is "Guest House 2," currently playing in cinemas. Yuro shares insights about the film, his current work, his pivot to BL series, future projects, and his relationship status.

When you first read the script for "Guest House 2," what was your impression?

Yuro: "It felt very intense. It's not just a typical ghost or horror film—it has heavy themes of relationships, beliefs, and character emotions. I hadn't encountered many scripts with Southern Thai cultural foundations like this, so it felt very interesting and challenging. I wanted to understand the character's world and the beliefs in this story. I play Anus, who inherited the knowledge of table bombing from his grandfather, but deep down tries to avoid involvement with what's considered supernatural or religiously wrong. He chooses a simple life, loves his family, believes in the people he cares for, and marries Diana, played by Mim Ratanawadee. But when something happens on Budo Mountain that puts his loved one in danger, he struggles to find a way to restore Diana to normalcy, no matter what the cost."

How was working with Mim Ratanawadee?

Yuro: "Mim is a very dedicated actress with strong emotional delivery. When we perform scenes together, it genuinely feels like we're a couple who've been through difficult experiences. The chemistry between our characters comes across quite intensely."

Besides "Guest House 2," what other projects do you have?

Yuro: "I have the drama 'Aew Ruk Kham Wela' (Ring of Timeless Love) and I host the variety show 'Balangk Mor Lam' on Channel 7. I'm also in the stage play 'Once Again... The More It Hurts, The More I Remember, The More I Love'—my first time doing theater. For the Be On Cloud series 'SHINE' world tour, I have one more country left. I've completed 10 countries in the past year, so the next tour might be for a different project."

Since you previously acted in opposite-sex dramas, did you think your life would change this much by moving into BL series?

Yuro: "It had to change, but I'm still an actor. I'm still with Channel 7 HD. I still work with leading actresses and have dramas where I can be the lead actor. Right now I'm working with Mook Vornish, and there's the film 'Guest House 2' with Mim. I see it more as an opportunity than anything else. Moving into BL or same-sex acting is an opportunity for me to develop myself as an actor—to see if I can embody that character. Acting is the same, but what's changed is having Be On Cloud supporting me in another form as a BL series actor, which they are."

Did you ever think that taking the BL route would make you more famous?

Yuro: "I didn't think like that. I'm an actor. Whatever opportunity comes along that I think suits me and I'm ready for, I'll take it."

Which management system do you use for events?

Yuro: "Through my agency. Channel 7 isn't involved in event management or appearances except for Channel 7's own work. Before, if there were general events, I'd handle them with my manager independently. Channel 7 only manages drama and channel work. Once Be On Cloud came on board to support me, it's like I became an artist under their label, so I follow their policies. I've been with Channel 7 all along. Having someone come support me is another option and another opportunity to increase people knowing about me—which is another opportunity I chose to take."

Is acting in BL series different from opposite-sex dramas in terms of performance technique?

Yuro: "It's the same...
