42-year-old Ethan Ruan may have never dreamed that he would make a comeback for a movie with an investment of only 10 million, and usher in another highlight moment after his debut.
In my impression, he may still be the childish "boss boss" Ji Cunxi in the Taiwanese puppet show "Destined to Love You";
may also be the clever and cute Hailong rookie Xiaobao in the drama "Military Paradise";
and Or the resourceful eldest son Wuji in the ancient puppet drama "Fuyao"...
There is no doubt that Ethan Ruan is a Taiwanese male artist with strong plasticity, and he is extremely "ambitious" and constantly breaks through his comfort zone.
Perhaps this can be seen from his growth experience - it is this seemingly "unstable" personality that has made Ethan Ruan the "excellent actor" he is today.
But he is not without "flaws". In addition to his achievements in acting, Ethan Ruan has been questioned emotionally for many years:
From being suspected of cheating, forcing his girlfriend to have multiple babies, and stealing the night of an actress, to later suspected adultery and cheating , Appointment... He has transformed from the image of a "young-faced young man" set at the beginning of his debut to a "high-end player".
Today, let’s talk about the ab side of Ethan Ruan’s life.
1. "Problem boy" is proficient in everything?
's niche but hit new film "Zhou Chu Abates Three Evils" has caused many netizens to complain about the "bad movies" released during the Spring Festival.
The biggest beneficiary of the film is undoubtedly Ethan Ethan - many people believe that his acting skills exploded in the film and his handsomeness reached new heights.
However, some people bluntly said that in this film, Ethan Ruan is actually "acting in his true colors" and his interpretation is still a "simple old boy".
Yes, in the public's mind, no matter what intense roles he has played, he is always the image of a simple boy.
But is Ruan Jingzhen really like this in real life? Behind his dazzling love history, is he extremely innocent or has extremely heavy taste?
Ethan Ruan was born in Taiwan in 1982 to a family with a background. The name his parents named him came from Lu Ji's "Long Song Xing", which was taken from the "Jing Tian Er" in "The passing of the sky, the sadness is carried with the earth". Character.
Because my ancestors were big capitalists, even though our family was in decline, we lived a relatively comfortable life.
His father opened a local shoe factory in his early years, and his mother ran a black tea shop, so his childhood was simple and happy.
However, because his father had an irritable personality and had excessive demands, and the shoe factory he ran soon closed down, his temper became even more irritable, and he often punished his son corporally to relieve his emotions.
A long time later, Ethan Ruan became famous. In an interview, he was still brooding about this, saying that he hated his father very much, and even at the age of 30, he still "cannot like him."
Perhaps it was because his father's discipline was too strict that he was very naughty since he was a child. When he was in junior high school, he was obsessed with video games and would not go home for several days, which caused his parents to urgently issue a missing person notice.
Despite this, Ruan Jingtian still ignored him and was the most troublesome student in the school:
would cook hot pot in class, hit the teacher with a trash can, often skip classes, get into fights, and was often expelled from school.
Therefore, throughout high school, he studied for 5 years and changed to 5 schools.
Seeing that his son was "incompetent", his father suggested that he, who had already grown taller, learn to swim in the hope that he would have the skills to help him in the future.
Unexpectedly, Ethan Ruan was also very talented in sports. Not only did he quickly join the school's swimming team, he also represented the school in many competitions and once became a reserve player for the Chinese Taipei team in the Olympic swimming event.
In 2002, at the age of 20, he was originally planning for his future in sports, but unexpectedly broke into the modeling industry due to an accident.
At that time, because he accompanied a friend to an interview, Ethan Ethan was spotted by the agency and invited him to be a model.
He was confused at first, but when he learned that there was money to be made in advertising and magazines, he joined in. He also stepped into the film and television industry by starring in Dai Penny's music video "Loved Before".
During the first filming, Ethan Ruan had no experience at all. He relied on the director to shout "Xiaotian, look here" and got through.
At this stage, he has already started his own journey of "hunting for beauty", and every stage can be described as "turbulent waves".
2. "Innocent boy" or "love prodigal"?
Rumor has it that before Ethan Ruan debuted as an artist, his girlfriend was named yvonne, and the two of them were even pregnant with a child. However, he later abandoned her on the pretext of moving to Taipei and forced her to have multiple children.
In fact, he wanted to break into the entertainment industry at that time. In addition to his girlfriend's disagreement, his parents were also strongly opposed, thinking that his best way out was to find a stable job. During
, Ethan Ruan had even passed the pilot exam, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the entertainment industry and turned around and went to Taipei to pursue his career.
In 2003, he entered Kaiwo Model Agency, and immediately began to participate in catwalks, advertising, etc., and also participated in the MV shooting of "diva" level singers such as Faye Wong and Zhang Huimei. During his time at
, Ethan Ruan and the company's other two male models, Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang, were known as the "Three Musketeers of Kaiwo".
But in fact, compared with the other two who quickly became popular, his situation is not even a little worse.
He Junxiang became an overnight sensation after starring in the idol drama "The Devil Is Around";
Zheng Yuanchang also became a new representative of "Flower Boy" with "Mischief Kiss".
At the same stage, Ethan Ruan could only play a supporting role for William Li, playing the second male lead in "The Green Forest".
It was also because of this drama that he met Liu Pinyan, an actress who was only 17 years old at the time.
It is said that they quickly fell in love, and before that, Ethan Ruan's girlfriend was the manager "Xiao Ren" who was 12 years older than him.
The woman saw that his career development was not satisfactory, and she actively helped contact various film and television resources.
However, after meeting Liu Pinyan, he separated from Xiao Ren.
Ethan Ruan didn't cherish Liu Pinyan very much, and his manager Chen Xiaozhi later revealed that he had taken away his night and was showing off in his circle of friends.
The reason why Chen Xiaozhi broke the news is because he had signed a contract with Ethan Ruan in the early years, but after the latter got involved with Kaiwo, he unilaterally broke the contract.
Therefore, after learning about Ethan Ruan's "scumbag" story, he came forward to reveal the news, causing an uproar among the audience.
At that time, Liu Pinyan debuted with the character of "Jade Girl", and immediately became popular after starring in the role of Anu in "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
But as soon as this incident came out, her character was completely destroyed, her career fell to the bottom, and she became a representative figure of "bad girl".
In the end, the brokerage company came forward to mediate, and Ethan Ruan was able to completely get rid of this "baggage" and continue his career in the entertainment industry.
In 2007, he successively appeared in different roles in idol dramas such as "Girls Over Flowers" and "It's Sunny in Kenting" and accumulated popularity.
But in private life, he is still lively.
After that, he was found to have met Joanna, a rich girl 4 years older than him, in a nightclub. Although the relationship between the two did not last long, it also laid another big hole for the future.
In the same year, Ethan Ruan was discovered by the media to have a passionate kiss with actress Tiffany Hsu on the beach, thus exposing their relationship.
The woman, who is 2 years younger than him, was born in a single-parent family, and her parents' relationship broke down before she was born.
But she is a mixed-race child. She has been as beautiful as a doll since she was a child, and she has been filming commercials since she was a student to support herself.
Tiffany Hsu also studied drama at Huagang Art School and received a bachelor's degree in drama from the Chinese Culture University. Later, she also joined Kaiwo Model Company and started her acting career.
So she and Ethan Ruan are brothers and sisters in the same school. They met early and later fell in love due to work contact.
At that time, Tiffany Hsu had been in the industry for three or four years, and she had become famous for her role as Pei Tzuyu, the daughter of a wealthy family in "Mischief Kiss".
Ethan Ruan is also known as one of the "four disciples" of director Niu Chengze because of his performance in the idol drama "The Weather Is in Kenting".
thought that after finding the beautiful beauty Tiffany Hsu as his girlfriend, he could settle down.
Unexpectedly, the two fell in love for 8 years, separated and reunited, but in the end it was inevitable that they would end up together.
3. You look good in acting, but your private life is too messy?
In 2008, he became famous for starring in the idol drama "Destined to Love You" with Chen Qiaoen, and his career reached its peak.
Immediately afterwards, the agency came out with "The Lost Dog Queen" while the iron was hot, allowing Ethan Ruan's career to continue to rise.
Moreover, his relationship with Tiffany Hsu has also stabilized, and it was revealed by the media that he has been living together for a trial marriage - even though he has never admitted to the relationship due to pressure from his agency.
At the stage when he was both successful in his career and relationship, Ethan Ethan was exposed by his ex-girlfriend Joanna. He cheated on Tiffany Hsu while he was in love. After establishing a relationship with him, he turned around and asked himself to rent a house. Many of his large-scale violent behaviors were also exposed. material.
However, Tiffany Hsu chose to believe it very generously.
Who would have thought that in 2010, Ethan Ruan would be exposed in photos of him and a hot girl with long hair - the two were found to have gone to a hotel to book a room together and did not leave until 1 o'clock the next day.
After the incident came to a head, he explained like this:
"I drove a suite with a living room, and it was separated. I slept in the living room. I really didn't do anything with that girl..."
Not only that, he was exposed to filming one after another. Sometimes it was fake, and she flirted with Korean star Yoon Eun-hye through text messages, and had an affair with Zhou Dongyu at night...
Rumor has it that in the face of endless gossip about her boyfriend, Tiffany Hsu once had a big fight with her in a taxi, and even shouted: "I'm tired of it. I’ve lost your love”!
In response to this, Ethan Ruan also got angry on social platforms and did not hesitate to respond violently:
"Relationships are our business, Wei Ning will always be my woman..."
At the same stage, he was once again famous for the movie "Monga" "The transformation was successful and thus became the youngest actor in the history of the Golden Horse Awards.
After that, Ethan Juan officially enlisted in the army, his career slowed down, and his relationship became calmer.
It wasn’t until a year later that he successfully returned, set up his own business, and established his own agency. Then he produced the feature film "Army Paradise" and was once again nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Asian Film Awards.
At this stage, Ethan Ruan and his girlfriend Tiffany Hsu also showed their affection generously and called each other's parents "father-in-law and mother-in-law" on social platforms.
Just when everyone thought they were going to achieve success, the two suddenly broke up.
It is reported that the reason is that the man fell in love with a married actress named h, which made Tiffany Hsu intolerable.
The outside world has also speculated on who the actress surnamed h is. Huang Yi, Bai Baihe, and Huo Siyan have all been accused.
When this eight-year relationship ended, some netizens counted that during this period, Ethan Ruan was suspected of cheating more than 5 times.
After bidding farewell to Tiffany Hsu, he has not been idle for a moment. He was photographed dating an internet celebrity stewardess and having an affair with actress Song Zuer. His scandal targets also include model Du Juan, Taiwanese actress Li Jiaying, etc.
In 2018, Ethan Ruan also flirted with "top female" Yang Mi during the filming of "Swinging".
The woman also said personally that "Ethan Juan has no ability to pick up girls", which caused netizens to complain: "Is he an innocent man? Forget it!"
Until the beginning of 2022, he suddenly disclosed his girlfriend and said that the other party was an amateur. , I hope to get everyone’s blessings.
Sure enough, after that, Ruan Jingzhen no longer had any scandals, and his production was significantly reduced, and his sense of presence was extremely low.
has made a strong comeback with "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" until now, but it is inevitable that his past will be revealed again.
Some people think that Ethan Ruan, who is over 40 years old, may really be "tired of playing", so he is looking for a suitable girl to settle down. After all, famous "players" such as Aaron Kwok and Wilber Pan have all taken the same path.
If this is the case, then I wish him the best of luck in stabilizing himself, acting well, and not wasting his good talent.
