"National husband" Sean not quite up to the job just yet

Wiping the smile off his face for a moment, Sean has modestly thanked his fans for the “honour”. 

“My mum said somebody had called her ‘the national mother-in-law’,” he chuckled. He’s also heard that fans dubbed him samee satharana, meaning “public husband”, but says he’s a little shy about being so widely shared around. 

He’s going to have to get used to the nicknames until he has someone special in his life. “It’s not that I’m being choosy – there’s just no one for me to choose!” Sean says, straining credulity.

This isn’t the right time anyway, he adds more convincingly. Who’s going to put up with his busy schedule?

“I don’t even have time to chat on the phone! I finish work around 10 and, by the time I get home and get washed, it’s midnight and time for bed, since I have to wake up at 5. No one would understand my timetable at the moment!”

In fact, even with “Lae Ratee” in the can, he’s still only got one free day a month – and it’s reserved for taking his mother out to dinner. 

 

 

 Family still waiting

It’s been two months since we had any updates on tensions in the Peter Corp Dyrendal household, so we’re overdue. You’ll recall that the actor’s wife, Ploypan, posted a picture of him on Instagram in July with the mournful comment that their two young sons were waiting for Daddy to come home. That was good for headlines for a while, and much speculation that he was secretly seeing someone else. 

Fortunately for us nosey people, Ploypan recently attended an event promoting dental health, bringing along sons Panther and Puma. Fearless of children named after wildcats, the reporters rushed over to find out what’s been happening. 

“Is it true that Peter’s been back home for a month?” Ploypan was asked. No, she said drily, because if he’d been home, she would have noticed him. “It’s his home and he’s got the keys, so he can come back anytime,” she added. Oh, she then kidded, when you said he’d “come home”, whose home did you mean? 

Ploypan insisted, however, that the lock on the door awaits his key and she’s hoping he will return. “I don’t hate him. We don’t need to hate each other. I don’t want to live like this, but I have to be strong for my sons.” 

She’s given no thought to filing for divorce, but doesn’t expect to get back to being a happy family again, either. “If that’s not possible, it’s okay.” And that includes the kids, she reckons. “I have a lot of friends who grew up without a mum or a dad and they turned out alright. We’ll just have to talk about it and figure out how we’ll manage from this point.”
