Early life

Huo was born in Taipei, Taiwan on 26 December 1979 to Liu Yu and Huo Chao-Ku. He has one brother, Huo Chien-yuan. His family originated from Shandong; his parents were natives of Longkou and Tianjin respectively. His grandfather was a follower of Sun Yat-sen and in October 1949, his family moved to Taiwan. Both his parents worked in the court system and his brother is a police officer.[5] His parents divorced when he was young.[6]

Huo once aspired to be a basketball player but then turned to singing in his early teenage days. With the goal of becoming a singer, Huo joined the entertainment business at the age of 17, as the assistant of Taiwanese TV host Sam Tseng.

Career

2002–2004: Beginnings in Taiwan

After starring in Star (2002), Huo rose to fame for the idol drama At Dolphin Bay (2003),[7] which achieved a peak rating of 5.11 and became the most popular idol drama of the year. He was then in great demand and was cast in seven idol dramas at the same year (a record yet to be broken).[8][9]

In 2004, Huo released his first ever solo album Start. Owing to his inability to cope with the promotion tour of the album, he decided to focus on acting thereafter.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

2005–2014: Rising popularity in China

In 2005, Huo starred in his first wuxia drama The Royal Swordsmen directed by Wong Jing.[10] His melancholic portrayal of Guihai Yidao received rave reviews from fans and audiences. It proved to be an important turning point of his career, as it introduced him to mainland audiences.[11] The same year, Huo made his big screen debut in the movie Hands in the Hair alongside actress Rosamund Kwan.[12]

Huo then took the leading role in various dramas, including Sound of Colors alongside actress Ruby Lin,[13] Romance of Red Dust opposite Shu Qi,[14] and Emerald on the Roof with Sun Li. Huo expressed that his role in Emerald on the Roof had taught him how to act, and has a deep impact on him.[15] Huo also starred in kungfu comedy Love at First Fight, taking on an eccentric and crazy role. His exaggerated expressions and comedic acting showed his ability to take on different roles.[16]

In 2009, Huo rose to mainstream popularity with the hit xianxia drama Chinese Paladin 3, an adaptation from the video game of the same title.[17][18][19] In 2011, Huo starred in period action drama The Vigilantes in Masks with Cecilia Liu;[20] and historical drama The Glamorous Imperial Concubine wherein he played a cold and detached Emperor.[21] Due to the success of the dramas, Huo was awarded Most Influential Actor at the 2011 Youku Television Awards.[22]

In 2012, Huo starred in the medical drama Inspire the Life.[23] In 2013, he starred in Lord of Legal Advisors, a mystery series in the Ming dynasty,[24] and Swordsman, a wuxia series based on Jin Yong’s classic novel of the same Chinese title.[25] In 2014, Huo starred in Perfect Couple, written by Tong Hua.[26] The project was Huo's first attempt at producing a drama series after the establishment of his own company Huajae Studio, and reunited him with Chinese Paladin 3 co-star Tiffany Tang.[27] Huo won the Most Popular Actor in the ancient drama genre at the 2014 China Student Television Festival for the drama.[28] Huo then starred in Battle of Changsha. Battle of Changsha was a critical success, as one of the highest rated dramas on Douban.[29][30]

In 2015, Huo starred in xianxia drama The Journey of Flower with Zanilia Zhao.[31] The drama was a huge success in China, achieving a peak rating of 3.89. It is also the first Chinese drama to surpass 20 billion online views.[32][33] The success of The Journey of Flower brought Huo's career to a new high.[34] He then starred in crime thriller Love Me If You Dare, which received positive reviews and an international following.[35] Due to his success, Huo was chosen by China Newsweek as Artist of the Year. He was distinguished as one of the Most Influential People in China for 2015, a remarkable distinction since he is the only recipient of this award in the field of Performing Arts.[36]

In 2016, Huo starred in historical medical drama The Imperial Doctress, portraying Zhu Qizhen.[37] It was one of the highest rated dramas that year, and Huo was awarded Most Popular Actor and Most Marketable Artist for his performance in The Imperial Doctress as well as Love Me If You Dare at the 1st China Television Drama Quality Ceremony.[38] He next starred in the crime thriller Inside or Outside alongside Korean actor Jang Hyuk and Hong Kong star Simon Yam,[39] as well as romantic comedy film Suddenly Seventeen and suspense thriller Hide and Seek.[40][41]

In 2017, Huo starred in the science fiction suspense film Reset, produced by Jackie Chan and directed by Korean director, Chang;[42] and war film Our Time Will Come, directed by award-winning director Ann Hui.[43] In 2018, Huo returned to the small screen in the palace drama Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace playing the role of Qianlong Emperor.[44] In 2019, Huo starred in the period epic drama The Great Craftsman, reuniting with his Chinese Paladin 3 and Reset co-star Yang Mi.[45] The same year, he starred in the romance drama film Somewhere Winter written by Rao Xueman.[46]

2018–present: Hiatus and partial comeback

In September 2018, Huo announced the closure of Huajie Studio’s Weibo and Facebook accounts, which had been managed by his co-founder and manager, Lian Junjie, effectively shutting down Huo's only social media presence amid an acrimonious breakup with Lian.[47] Since then, Huo has largely retired to family life in Taiwan. In December 2020, Huo shut down another production company under his name in Hengdian. In 2021, he had a cameo in Light the Light, a Taiwanese drama produced by his wife, Ruby Lin. Huo returned to acting in 2024 with the Chinese drama The Tale of Rose.

Personal life

On 20 May 2016, Huo confirmed his relationship with actress Ruby Lin,[48] his co-star in Sound of Colors (2006) and The Glamorous Imperial Concubine (2011). They were married in Bali on 31 July 2016,[49] and held another wedding reception in Taipei on 2 August 2016.[50] Their daughter was born in January 2017.[51]
