Josh gets grilled
January 7, 2004
Tall, dark and brooding, Joshua Ang, the young star of I Not Stupid and Homerun has been discreetly stealing the hearts of our teenage girls for 2 years now.

I’m not particularly fond of playing games, but I do have a favourite. It’s called Grilling Child Actors. Not in a cannibal way (although such tender fresh meat are ideal for a barbecue) but it gets them just as hot under the collar. It’s especially fun when your game opponent is a gawky, awkward, reluctant heartthrob.
Here’s how I play it: First I pounce on him in a crowded room and tear him away from his group of friends. *Sniff* This one smells nice, like the clean smell of soap. Then I whip out my notepad and razor-sharp pen, and begin snarling away.
Me: You! Boy! Name?
Boy: Joshua Ang, Hong2 Ci4 Jian4
Me: What school you in?
Boy: Pasir Ris Secondary School.
Me: What level?
Boy: Secondary 3.
Me getting impatient: Subjects?
Boy: Pure Science and Double Maths
Me: *Grunt*
Thrilling, isn’t it? And all this while, the lad is standing rigidly in attention, hands clasped behind his back. So this is how it feels like to be a school principal terrorising a schoolboy…
Me: CCA in school? Birth date? Height?
Boy: Media Club. March 1, 1989. 170cm.
Me: Ambition?
Boy: To be a pilot, maybe in the air force. Yes, I have perfect eyesight.
Me: Hobbies?
Boy: Soccer.
Me: What position? Favourite team? Favourite player? What other hobbies?
Boy: Midfielder. Real Madrid. Raúl. Playing the piano.
Me: How many years you’ve been playing the piano? You like it?
Boy: 3 or 4 years. It’s ok, I guess. Sometimes I don’t like it, when the piano exams are coming.
Me: *Grunt* You may be at ease now. Got girlfriend?
Boy: No.
Me, very surprised: You sure? How come?
Boy: I think I’m too young for all these (boy-girl relationships).
Me: Then how old do you think you’ll start dating? What kind of girls do you like?
Boy: 17 or 18. Erm… looks don’t matter. She must be a kind-hearted and feminine girl.
Me: Be more specific. Long hair? Short hair?
Boy: Erm… the feminine kind, with long hair.
Me: You got girls chasing after you? Don’t tell me don’t have ah; I know you are very hot among the teenage girls now.
Boy, shifting uneasily: Erh… hmm… yah.
Me: How do they chase you?
Boy, eyes lighting up: One of the fans sent to my home, a 29-inch TV set! The sender didn’t leave behind a name. After filming for Comedy Nite finishes, they also give me small, handmade gifts, and letters.
Me, dumbfounded: … T… TV?
Boy: Ahem… yah, that’s my favourite gift. And oh, my fans set up a fan club and gave me a poster that says “Killer Josh”. I was very happy and honoured. I really appreciate it.
Me: How about the girls in school?
Boy: They know me better, after all they see me everyday. I treat them like friends.
Me: Ok, last question. You can stop squirming already. Are you embarrassed by all the female attention you are getting?
Boy: Not really. There will surely be all these fan-idol stuff. All of them (the other actors in Homerun) have fans too.
Me: *Grunt*
