Actress Celebrates Son's Selection For Asian Games Swimming Team

Prominent actress Lukkade-Metinee Kingporm expressed overwhelming pride and shed tears of joy after learning that her son, Sky Kingporm Sharpless, has been selected for Thailand's national swimming team to compete at the 2026 Asian Games.

Sky, the beloved son of renowned supermodel and actress Lukkade-Metinee Kingporm, has earned a spot on Thailand's senior national team for the 2026 Asian Games swimming competition.

Lukkade-Metinee revealed that she feels immensely proud because while Sky had previously made Thailand's youth national team two or three times, this is his first selection to the senior national team for such a major competition. Upon seeing his name on the roster, she screamed and cried with joy, calling it a tremendous source of family pride.

She explained her role in supporting Sky's training, focusing on transportation to practice sessions and providing nutritious meals to help him concentrate fully on training. Noting that Sky typically trains in England while attending school there, she emphasized that having him in Thailand now gives the family an opportunity to provide complete support.

"The important thing is not to put pressure on him, but if he can make the finals at the Asian Games, that would be wonderful. I want him to do his absolute best since this is his first time competing on Asia's biggest sporting stage," Lukkade-Metinee said. She added that entertainment industry friends and extended family are supportive, and the family is proud that Sky will represent Thailand with the national flag.

Sky, who returned from England to join Thailand's national swimming team camp, expressed surprise upon seeing his name selected but credits his hard work and determination for achieving this goal. He stated that he aims to post his best times at the Asian Games and plans to train even harder to maximize his performance in his events.
