SINGAPORE – Desmond Tan, 36, a Singaporean actor, shared a shirtless photo of him via Instagram to encourage his followers to watch his new drama series, Strike Gold.

Desmond Tan was back in Singapore after participating in the Paris Fashion Week. He invited his followers and fans to join him in catching up with the show. 

In the same post, he also thanked actress Cheryl Chou who helped him with his clean diet for the success of his pool scene. 

“Big shout-out to my exercise/diet buddy @_cherylchou_ who made the prep for this scene less lonely – encouraging one another and keeping each other in check for months. After months of clean diet, the first thing we did right after the shoot of this pool scene was to stuff our faces with burgers and fries! Hahaha!” the actor remarked.

Strike Gold is a series that revolves around “Ah Ma’s Pineapple Tarts”, wherein people who lived in the same public rental flats had been eyeing the recipe of the pineapple tart for selfish reasons and motives. However, as they find ways to resolve their own problems, they find love and gratitude along the way.
