Veteran leading man Noom Soramar opened up about every topic on a talk show. Noom Soramar brought along his beloved daughter, nearly 7-year-old Veeji, to join the talk show "Kuy Zaap Show" on Channel One 31.
Very proud of Veeji dancing ballet in front of a famous mall?
Noom: "Actually, she has been doing ballet activities since she started learning. She dances every Christmas at the ballet school, which holds events in front of CentralWorld. This year is a bit busy because of school events too. In the morning, there was a gift exchange at school, then she rushed back in the evening."
She originally wanted to dance jazz dance. Every time we get in the car, the radio is on, and Veeji loves music. Once we realized she liked it, we knew that ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. So, we sent her to learn ballet so that in the future, if she chooses another style, she will have ballet as a base."
Veeji: "It's fun, not difficult."
How do you raise Veeji? What about taking her to Disneyland?
Noom: "Normally, if Veeji finishes her homework at school by seven or at most seven-thirty, she's ready to sleep because she has to wake up at 5 a.m. and eat breakfast before school. She requested in first grade that during the holidays she wanted to go to Disneyland to watch fireworks. We promised to take her during the holidays, but the fireworks start at 8:30 p.m., and Veeji usually sleeps by 7:30 p.m. We prepared everything, expecting she would love it, but she told me, ‘Go ahead,’ because she saw many people waiting. She's as straightforward as me."
Dad notices daughter starting to be stubborn and imitates behaviors?
Noom: "What do you mean by stubborn? Veeji isn’t stubborn. You can clearly see her behavior. For example, if she comes home from school and takes off her socks not using her hands but in a way we haven't taught her—sitting to put on socks is what we taught. Maybe she picked this up from school or friends. We told Veeji not to do that because it’s not good. She saw her friends do it, but we speak carefully because she’s sensitive and sometimes even cries, thinking she did something wrong, though she has no bad intentions."
Do you think you are stubborn?
Veeji: "No, I’m not."
Does Veeji think Dad is strict?
Veeji: "No, he’s not strict."
Noom: "He’s not strict. He’s indulgent. I explain because as a father, I have matured and grown in my parenting skills. I know how to interact properly with my daughter, and she is a girl."
Open up about netizens commenting on parenting?
Noom: "I’ll tell it straight. For example, when I post cute dancing clips, there are comments like ‘Veeji is cute’ or ‘She is a good child.’ Many comments. Sometimes I heart them. But then there are comments like ‘She dances well like her mother’ or ‘It’s safer with the father.’"
These are trolls who like to fill cute clips with stupid comments, like when I post a cute photo with my daughter, comments come saying ‘Why are you carrying her? Her legs are dragging.’ That clip showed me carrying her while explaining what we bought at the morning market."
Honestly, no matter how big she grows, I want to carry my daughter. So I replied briefly and sincerely, saying ‘Busybody.’ Someone kept replying +1 all night. I didn’t understand what +1 meant, so I asked, ‘So how many +1s now?’ I didn’t know, and then I got a ‘K’ back."
Noom was puzzled by a drama comment about Veeji calling the security guard 'guard'?
Noom: "In a clip where she gave something to the security guard, someone commented, ‘Brother guard, please eat.’ Then another wrote, ‘He’s a security officer, not just a guard.’ This comment made me realize that drama comments exist everywhere, even about children. There are people like this in society. Those who want to talk about us, let them talk. We live our life our own way."
But about the mother, let me finish. We’ve always taught her to love her mother. Sometimes when my daughter posts clips with me, someone comments, ‘Poor thing, no mother.’ I replied with sympathy and respect, saying it’s better than having parents who don’t discipline. Sometimes society teaches us to respond."
First time opening up about viral clip where Veeji refused to let Kung Ploy flirt?
Veeji: "No, because I’m protective."
If Veeji grows up, will she have a boyfriend?
Veeji: "No."
Why do you think you won’t have a boyfriend?
Veeji: "I’ll save money to take care of Dad." (Noom kisses her during the show)
How protective are you over Dad?
Veeji: "Very protective."
What if someone flirts with Dad?
Veeji: "No."
How much do you love Dad?
Veeji: "Love him the most in the world."
Noom: "I love her the most in the world. I say it every day, every morning, and before bed. Every morning and night after praying, I thank my daughter for being a good, lovely child. After morning prayers, I tell her, ‘Dad prayed for you, my child.’"
Revealing the veteran leading man’s current heart status?
Noom: "No one has come into my life 100%. How many years without a partner? About as old as my child. Along the way, if asked if I like someone, yes, but I don’t go so far as to like or talk to anyone. I haven’t thought about it for a long time. Maybe it’s because living with my daughter makes me happy. It’s true love for me. I’m okay and happy."
Did he go all out buying a 20 million baht house for Veeji?
Noom: "The price is not true. We have to accept that generations change. I’m no longer a young leading man like before. I’ve transitioned into a father or lead role actor. I take acting jobs. I’m still working according to my plans. My parents taught me not to show off wealth or do expensive things. Just enough to live and do what I can within my means. We will move in early February."
Veeji: "I’m excited to have my own room."
Final projects?
Noom: "I still do endorsements, reviews on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook. I’m still doing music, occasionally performing 90s concerts. I’m thinking about hosting, developing an online show concept."
