It's rare to see a joint interview moment for the adventurous couple, actor "Champ Chanathip" and actress "Sammy Kowawell." They recently appeared together at an event and gave their first joint interview, opening up about their relationship over the past 2-3 years, from Sammy as a beautiful model to a girl who enjoys adventurous forest trips, and answered clearly the common question about her long absence from dramas and how she finances her travels.
How is it going to appear together today?
Champ said, "This is our first time appearing together and our first joint interview with so many reporters."
Sammy said, "Usually, I'm just in the forest, not seeing anyone, only surrounded by trees, grass, mountains, and sky."
Do you usually show affection like this?
Champ replied, "We’re not very affectionate. It’s more like being half boyfriend and half friends."
How many years have you been together now?
Champ said, "About 2-3 years. If counting simply, it’s from our travel trips. We never really look back or celebrate anniversaries—no dinners, gifts, or flowers."
In interviews, Champ mentioned Sammy has changed a lot—from a beauty-focused model to an adventurous girl, right?
Sammy said, "I still want to be beautiful, but the situation makes it difficult. Being in the forest, it’s hard to stay beautiful."
Previously, Champ was asked on her behalf about her absence from the industry and how she supports herself?
Sammy explained, "Actually, the frequent forest trips are because clients want me to go there. I earn from clients and online content. Next year, you’ll see me back in dramas; I’ve started filming again. It’s been about four years since I took a break."
How many forest trips have you taken this year?
Champ said, "Quite a lot, about 4-5 trips this year."
Sammy added, "More than that. Sometimes in a month, I go three times."
Champ added, "There was a period when she had to rest because she fell and tore a ligament. She was actually happy to have a break."
Sammy said, "It’s both fun and not fun. Honestly, it’s not that I love nature per se, but one, it’s for clients; two, for fans. They enjoy it, and when I share stories afterward, it’s fun. I also enjoy buying gadgets. That’s the fun part."
Are you ready for a life together?
Champ said, "Living like this feels like a life together already."
Do you want to get engaged to break the superstition of 3, 5, or 7 years?
Champ replied, "I’m indifferent about superstition. I’m very happy with how life is now. We enjoy adventures, traveling, and we’re happy together with our two dogs who heal our hearts. So, no rush. We’ll take it slow."
Sammy, how do you respond? Does Champ feel pressured from such questions?
Sammy said, "He’s not pressured at all. He’s chill. We do talk sometimes, but we don’t see a clear picture of family or children. Honestly, I don’t see myself having a baby yet. We’re happy now, enjoying traveling and even the occasional quarrels—they’re actually good."
Champ said, "No, I don’t quarrel; she does. Mostly, I’m the one getting hit, and I usually stay calm."
You’re together almost all the time. Is there anything you still need to adjust?
Champ said, "Are we together all the time? Not really. It might look that way publicly, but in reality, I go home to see my mom, work, and so on. So, if there’s anything to adjust, it’s probably lifestyle."
Sammy said, "We started as friends living life together. We’ve always been ourselves from the start, no pretending. Being together often, going out, traveling, and being in the forest, we accept each other’s true selves and know how to handle each other well. So, there’s nothing really to adjust."
So, you like each other just the way you are?
Champ said, "Yes, it’s been like this from the beginning."
Do you want her to return to acting or follow your path?
Champ said, "I want her to come back to dramas because she’s a leading actress. I want to proudly say, ‘I have a leading actress as my girlfriend.’"
Sammy said, "He took the leading actress into the forest. I’m still on my runway, in front of the camera. We used to see each other more often before, but now, it’s disappeared."
Champ said, "No, but drama productions have decreased. Actually, we adapted quickly because there was a slow period in dramas. Luckily, we shifted to online work, so we didn’t disappear. Now that productions are increasing, we’re back filming dramas together and doing content creation as a couple."
