Actor Yoo Seung Ho prepares for gay role: ”6kg weight loss + skinship is difficult”

Actor Yoo Seung-ho talked about his role as a acting.

Yoo Seung-ho, who is performing the play 'Angels in America', appeared as a guest on JTBC's 'Newsroom' on the 4th.

In the video, Yoo Seung-ho said "I decided to hit on something I didn't know because I thought that if I went on like this, there would likely be no development. I decided to try theatre for the first time. I became obsessed with it. I wanted to do it for no clear reason and follow my heart."

Yoo Seung-ho, who played the role of a sexual minority, said "I used a lot of bracelets and necklaces and painted my nails. He is a diplomatic and glamorous person. The inside is important, but so is the way you look, so I had to do things I don't normally do."

She continued "The play deals with homosexuality, racism and religion. There are a lot of things I don't know about, so I looked for a lot of films on those themes. The role I took on in the play was infected with AIDS. So I lost 5-6 kilos. I worked hard on many fronts. It was not easy to act skinny-dipping. I had to look at my boyfriend with loving eyes, which wasn't easy, but the other actor made an effort. I acted as if I was looking at him as someone I love, regardless of gender."

Before he knew it, he was celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut. Yoo Seung-ho said "Every day, I think that today is the most important moment. Everything I have done is recorded in the past. Today is important so that I don't feel embarrassed or ashamed in the past or even later."

He added "One moment in my mid-twenties, I could feel that I was having fun when I was acting and enjoying a life I had never lived. That's when I started to get interested in it."

He said his goal is to run an animal shelter and added "I need a lot of money. That's why I'm going to act and collect money like crazy. I want to run an animal shelter."

Finally, Yoo Seung-ho said: 'If there is a film that wants me, I will act until then. Until then, I will live the same troubled life as I do now, while correcting the person Yoo Seung-ho is."
