Fort Natthawut Delighted by Fan Response, Hints at More Water Scenes; Mom 'Mae Pui' Equally Busy
Thai actor Fort Natthawut expressed delight at the strong fan response to his series "Scarlet Heart Ullavee," noting his acting and diction have improved significantly. He revealed plans for more water scenes and an interest in action roles, while also sharing that his mother, known as 'Mae Pui,' is gaining her own popularity with a busy schedule and growing fan base.
Fort Natthawut is delighted by the response to "Scarlet Heart Ullavee," with viewers noting his acting has improved by leaps and bounds. He recently attended the JOURNAL BODY MIST SIMPLY MAGNETIC launch event at CentralWorld's Eden Hall as a presenter, joined by special guest 'Look Khun Noo' (his mother, affectionately known as 'Mae Pui'). After the event, Fort gave an interview discussing the feedback, including fans swooning over his action scenes. He revealed he enjoys sports and wants to try a full action series, and is also working on lowering his voice and speaking more clearly to suit period roles.
Asked about the series' reception, Fort said it's been great, mentioning fans even compared his voice to a banana stalk in a cute way. Regarding comments that his action scenes were 'muscle-melting,' he laughed and confirmed he was fit at the time, adding he loves sports like boxing and would love to do an action series because it feels natural. He admitted action scenes are tiring, especially sparring with co-star Win Metawin, who packs a heavy punch.
On whether the positive feedback relieves pressure, Fort said he's happy to receive both criticism and praise, which helps him improve. Fans have also noticed his diction and deeper voice have improved. Fort acknowledged he has had unclear speech since childhood, and as a Gen Z who grew up with mumbling in songs and speech, it's challenging. Director 'Fun' (Kanittha Kwanyu) pushed him to mature, and acting coach 'Tak' (Naphatsaran) taught him to think before speaking and lower his voice for a regal, weighty tone befitting a prince character.
When complimented on his soaring acting graph, Fort humbly thanked fans for seeing his dedication since his debut. He also confirmed there are more water scenes coming up.
Regarding his mother 'Mae Pui' being as hot as him with her own fan club and constant work offers, Fort confirmed she's very busy. Asked if he's become the 'pushed-aside child,' he joked she pushes herself, noting she even has her own fan page. He's proud of her growth but advises her to calm down and think before posting or typing, as she can be quick-tempered and fast with her fingers. On whether he manages her, Fort said to contact her manager directly — she has a bio for inquiries — but she only takes about one job a month despite daily offers, often telling him, 'I'm not doing it, I'm tired.'
