Real men cry when tickled
Men don't cry - or do they?
We have fresh evidence that they weep like willows, at least when they’re overcome by happiness. Submitted for your appraisal is a trio of recent celebrity weddings.
First we saw Songkran Techanarong wailing like a little girl last month while they surgically attached him to actress Taksaorn “Aff” Paksukcharern in Khao Yai. “I couldn’t help it when I saw the beautiful setting,” he said of the lush outdoor scene. “And everyone I love was there. It was so overwhelming!”
It was Anusorn maneeted’s turn to blubber on May 5 when the singer known as Yong Armchair married fellow crooner Walailak “Koi” Muskpodok. Yong kept his cool until he had to express his gratitude to the press for supporting his career all along.
Actor Chai Chatayodom fell victim to the same emotional flood while thanking the news media after his wedding to Sunisa “Vicky” Jett. Vicky says they both cried a lot throughout the event, but the dam really burst for Chai when he was giving an interview.
“Right from childhood I always want to have a family,” he spluttered. “And now that all the people I love are here, I can’t stop the tears.”
Pop questions
Chai proposed to Vicky in Paris. We know because when married stars appear on TV chat shows and in magazines, they’re inevitably asked how it all came about.
Aff and Songkran were quizzed about the big moment recently on Channel 3’s “At 10” show but lacked the romantic foreign city. In fact, Aff said, Songkran never actually proposed to her at all. “He just told me it was about time we got married!”
Songkran made up for it at their wedding reception at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, though. They were supposed to go onstage together, but he told her he had to pee first. Next thing Aff knew, he was up onstage declaring eternal love.
Then she got onstage and made her speech. You guessed it – he cried like a baby.
