Feefy Premonnan Opens Up About 'Gold Digger' Criticism, Insists Love Can't Be Bought
Actor Feefy Premonnan defends his marriage against "gold digger" allegations while explaining how his Islamic faith shapes his entertainment career choices and family life as he prepares to become a father.
Young actor Feefy Premonnan Sripanich is preparing to become a father as his wife enters her fourth month of pregnancy with their first child. The actor recently visited the newsroom to update on his life as a family man and his entertainment industry plans. He also responded to criticism that he's a 'gold digger' following revelations that his wife's family are wealthy southern businesspeople.
When asked about his current life, Feefy explained: "After getting married, I committed to working harder. Now that my wife is pregnant, I'm working even more. I'm focusing on online content now, so you won't see me on television as much, but I'm more active on social media than usual."
Regarding entertainment work, he said: "I still enjoy acting, but being Muslim does limit the roles I can accept. For example, I cannot bow to anything other than God. I understand it's acting, but ultimately it's a real form of worship, so it makes me uncomfortable. Similarly, close physical contact with women is forbidden in Islam, so I avoid those scenes. This way, my wife can feel comfortable too."
Asked if these restrictions came before or after marriage, Feefy responded: "I was strict before marriage. I was born into a Muslim family, and while I lived a typical teenage life initially, as I studied more and gained deeper knowledge, my faith strengthened. I wanted to follow religious principles more closely. With these limitations, I'm uncertain what the future holds in entertainment, but I trust everything comes from God's will."
His most recent work was the drama 'Meung Kaew,' filmed nearly two years before it aired. Regarding future projects, he said: "I'm not turning my back on entertainment, but right now I'm focused on business. If an opportunity comes along that aligns with my values and a role I genuinely want to play, I'll reach out to casting directors. I still enjoy acting, just in roles where I can be comfortable and fully committed."
On his early marriage decision at age 25-26, Feefy explained: "It was surprising even for me, but I wanted to do things correctly according to Islamic principles, which don't include dating. We kept things within family circles, got to know each other superficially, and then married."
Regarding his role as a husband, he said: "I stand on principles of justice—I'm firm on what's right, but flexible where possible. My wife and I listen to each other and show mutual respect."
On how his life has changed, he reflected: "My role has changed dramatically. I have more responsibility now. I think about how much we've built, and we have someone to care for. Being married has made me more mature, thinking more about the future."
