If looking too youthful was a problem, Mediacorp actor Elvin Ng must be very troubled.
In a recent Instagram Reel shared by The Celebrity Agency, Ng and host Quan Yifeng took turns answering each other's burning questions.
Quan cut to the chase asking Ng: "Do you think you are still an idol?"
Ng had a ready reply.
"This is a difficult [question]. I'm now 45. The problem is, I can't play dads because I still look like an idol," he said matter-of-factly.
However, when it comes to actual young idol roles, Ng said younger actors would get cast instead of him.
"So I'm in a very awkward phase now," he smirked. "But I think I'll continue looking like this even when I'm 50 or 60. Then how?"
Ng's showbiz pals were amused by the candid replies and easy chemistry between Ng and Quan.
