Actor Shin Hyun-jun revealed his feelings about giving birth to his last child at the age of 54, as well as the story behind the kissing scene with Shim Eun-ha.
Shin Hyun-jun appeared as a special guest on the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereinafter referred to as 'My Little Old Boy'), which aired on the 1st.
On this day, when Shin Hyun-jun appeared, Shin Dong-yeop teased him by saying, "An Arab prince who speaks Korean really well," and Shin Hyun-jun joked, "Korea is so cold." Shin Hyun-joon will return to the screen by playing the role of Lee Nan in the upcoming movie 'Salsu'. When asked if it was difficult filming an action genre in his mid-50s, Shin Hyun-jun said confidently, “The age in the movie is my age,” but added, “We filmed it around this time last year and it was really cold. “Because it was a knife, it was painful just to hit each other,” he said.
Shin Hyun-jun, who has two sons, recently had a daughter. Shin Hyun-jun said, “I didn’t think about having a third child, but my wife wanted to have a child. “I said it would be okay if it was a son, but deep down, I thought it would be better if the youngest child was a daughter,” he confessed. Regarding the differences between his son and daughter, he said, “They are different from the moment you hold them,” and added, “I got my daughter when I was 54 years old. “It’s so precious that I’m just thankful every day.”
Shin Hyun-jun then said that he checked his daughter's nose as soon as she was born to see if it would resemble his trademark big nose. He made people laugh by saying, "As a daughter, I wanted my nose to resemble my mother's. Fortunately, I resemble my mother."
He said, "I was watching an ultrasound on the day I was supposed to find out the gender, and my wife said from behind the curtain, 'Did you see your brother too? There's a pepper.' I saw it too, and I said, 'I don't know.' The director said, 'You're a princess.'" In response, Seo Jang-hoon made everyone burst into laughter by saying, “Didn’t you look at the nose wrong?”
There are so many people who resemble Shin Hyun-jun because of his nose that there is even a ‘Shin Hyun-jun theory of everything.’ The first resemblance was a walrus, and Shin Hyun-jun said, “It is an animal that became popular because of me. “Now they even sell dolls,” he said. The second look-alike was soccer player Zlatan, and the third look-alike was a table lock button attached to an airplane seat. Shin Hyun-jun jokingly said, “Now they say we resemble each other even in things like that.”
Jung Jun-ho, who is famous as Shin Hyun-jun's best friend, previously appeared on 'My Little Old Boy' and said that Shin Hyun-jun, who hosted his wedding, made a mess of it. Shin Hyun-jun said, “The wedding itself was a mess,” and “Because there were too many people. “After seeing that wedding, I thought it would be nice to have my own wedding in a reverent way,” he explained.
He continued, “But Jung Jun-ho and Tak Jae-hoon said they would host the show. I declined and he got really upset. In the end, I accepted and politely asked them to proceed, but they turned the wedding hall into a food stall. The wedding was made in a really messy and messy manner. He revealed, “I ordered Kim Soo-mi’s mother to sing three cheers for national independence, and senior Ahn Seong-ki, Jang Dong-gun, and director Im Kwon-taek continued to do three cheers.”
He also mentioned the 1996 work '1.5' in which Shin Hyun-joon played the role of a Korean, and told an anecdote that he played the role of an adopted child who was not good at Korean, and his co-star Shim Eun-ha burst out laughing and made NG over 30 times. Shin Hyun-jun said, “I love Shim Eun-ha, but she was a pitiful character. So Eunha Shim teaches Korean. I hated it when I did it. As I was learning the language and speaking Korean little by little, there was a kissing scene where Shim Eun-ha was leaving from America to Korea. At that time, the ambassador said, ‘I’m going to Korea. It's because you're going.' “But I was laughing so hard that I probably couldn’t even touch my lips.”
