Teng Yong-lin (Chinese: 鄧詠麟; born 19 April 1982), known professionally as Yao Yuan-hao (Chinese: 姚元浩), is a Taiwanese actor and television host.
Early life and career
[edit]Yao was born on April 19, 1982, in Keelung, Taiwan.[1]
He started acting at around 16 years old in the television series Bandits and Angels (強盜與天使; 1999), directed by Wu Nien-jen,[2] but only became active in 2002. He had his career breakthrough in FTV's 2011 series Rookies' Diary, which received high ratings.[citation needed] The production costs for the series was said to be up to two million TWD, and it also received strong support from the Ministry of Justice. Due to the high expectations, each cast member received training in taekwondo, kendo, and self-defense before shooting began in July.[citation needed]
Two years after Rookies' Diary, he starred opposite Cheryl Yang in Big Red Riding Hood.[3] Screenwriter Su Limei (蘇麗媚) asked him to cut his hair similar to her favorite character in the Japanese manga Musashi no Ken, which would make him look more humorous.[4]
In 2013, Yao starred in five television series, in four of which he portrayed "rich, handsome men".[Note 1][5]
Personal life
[edit]Yao was involved in high profile relationships with actress-model Sonia Sui for 8 years until 2012 and singer Cyndi Wang for 4 years until 2016. Since 2018, he has been dating model Candy Wang.[6][7]
Yao enjoys skateboarding,[citation needed] surfing, and extreme sports.[8] He usually joins race marathons, including a 42-km marathon during the 'Tokyo Marathon' in February 2013; he was a sports brand ambassador at that time.[9] He also entered the 2013 Taiwan International Surfing Competition.[10]
Philanthropy
[edit]In December 2011, he became the ambassador for the Independent Department of Justice held at the '1209 International Anti-Corruption Day', calling people together for the anti-corruption efforts to improve Taiwan.[citation needed] He also became a charity ambassador in Taiwan township schools, promoting traditional Chinese culture to children.[11] In 2015 he volunteered to sell chocolates to raise money for young kids who have brain tumors.[12]
