Singapore actor Glenn Yong used to"shun" children, but after portraying the compassionate teacher Mr Lee in Jack Neo's film I Not Stupid 3, he has had a change of heart."I want to get married and have my own family because I've grown to love kids.""It's not about having a partner or not but maybe it's got to do with age," he said.
Yong divulged that as a former EM3 student, he could identify with the experiences of the students in the movie."I love how Mr Lee encourages his students to go after their dreams, face their fears and embrace the emotions they feel," he said.As an activist for youth, Yong identifies with his character's caring nature."But now that I'm older, I've learnt to do things more wisely so as not to overstep boundaries .
About 100 lucky TNP readers attended the gala premiere of I Not Stupid 3 at Golden Village VivoCity on June 4. The moviegoers were ecstatic when director Jack Neo, Yong and young stars Camans Kong and Zhou Yu Chen appeared in the theatre before the show started.
