Lewis Tan: His Style Diary 

, which airs every Thursday night. Those who consume Asian media might recognise him as the face for Nivea’s men’s beauty campaigns. Or, as I did, on the desaturated posters that line the walls of GNC here in the U.S. – a handsome Pan-Asian man with a body worthy of a health supplement store.

To be honest, when San Francisco-based photographer Victor Hugo approached His Style Diary with photos from his recent shoot with Lewis Tan, I had nary an idea who Lewis was. Even as I searched online for a wiki on him, all I could find was a short but impressive blurb about him on IMDB, and of course, quite a few professional photos of him both decked out and undressed, with a typically intense countenance and an impressively sculpted physique.

As a publication with roots in Asia, I thought it would be apropos for us to feature a man of Asian heritage who’s broken ground in both Western and Asian media, and is set to greater things ahead. What with the #whitewashedout debate in Hollywood, here I was able to get an insider’s look into the industry, and I sure wasn’t disappointed.

was always meant to dig into a man’s sartorial make-up, and find out what makes him the stylish person he is. I found plenty of that too in my hour-long interview with Lewis, during which his professional yet affable demeanor won me over. Dressed post-gym for our Skype interview in a Gucci tank top, jeans, and some light jewelry, he exuded a confident ease that matched his West Coast accent. There was no bragging, no need to assert or to prove anything. None of that neediness some Hollywood types suffer from.

Perhaps it’s because of his upbringing. Lewis spent his childhood in Hollywood, beginning with his father’s move from England work on Tim Burton’s Batman set when he was just two. His father is Philip Tan, a respected action director and stuntman originally from Singapore. Thanks to his father’s sojourns, his childhood acquaintances are an enviable list of industry giants – Peter Sellers, Roman Polanski, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg.

Growing up in the industry was training enough, Lewis decided, when he had the choice of working on

in the Bahamas or go to film school. That decision landed him his fondest job yet in his film career, which he now wishes to gear towards two goals: directing a feature film, and being the male dramatic lead in one.

It’s an undeniably tough target to hit, especially the latter. Asian male leads on feature films just aren’t in demand. Tilda Swinton could’ve ceded her role in the upcoming Doctor Strange movie for an actual Asian actor, and so could Scarlett Johansson in

. But Lewis is optimistic, pointing out that progress has been made, albeit painfully slowly. Forest Whitaker handpicked him for a third leading role in

, which is yet to be released. Lewis is also playing Kung Jin, a lead character in the third season of the successful

, with which he employs a good number of Asian subjects for short films.

We go further into the stereotypes Asian actors face in Hollywood and elsewhere, but we also go in-depth with Lewis about his take on personal style. For the Asian guy who’s itching to get into the industry, you’ll be doing yourself a favor to read through to the end. Not only does Lewis have some valuable advice, his journey of being a model, actor, and filmmaker is certainly a lesson in itself.

LEWIS TAN: Well my father originally came [to the U.S.] from England to do the Batman movie with Tim Burton. My father’s in the industry; he’s a stunt coordinator, action director. That’s how I was introduced to Hollywood. I’ve grown up on movie sets all around the world, like when my dad was working in France with Peter Sellers, and we were moving around to Asia, and back here. So that was kinda how I got into the industry.

But I was just going to school, studying theater and the arts, and when I graduated I had a choice to go to college, or to work on a movie. So I spent one day in college, and I decided that wasn’t for me. I went to work on

LT: Yeah, I have pictures of me sitting in the director’s chair, working on Spielberg’s set. Sitting in his director’s chair. My dad worked on the Temple of Doom, so I was like two years old. But then we were moving around a lot, and I was in school, so I didn’t always go with my dad when he was travelling. It’s funny because when I look back on it now… My parents have pictures of me in Barbra Streisand’s house, or on Roman Polanski’s boat, and I didn’t register it then. When I look back now, it’s like

, and I remember living on that set and just getting along with the producers and production assistants, hanging out with the directors… I guess at the time I probably was just annoying, but for me it was cool to see what they were doing. I was in with these guys! I was probably eight or nine, but I remember that clearly.

It’s a different perspective because not many people get to see that side of the camera. Usually when you graduate film school you work your way up the ladder, you don’t get to sit next to the director, to hear what he’s saying, and learn. I’ve been very blessed to have learnt from these people as I’ve gotten older. I didn’t feel like I needed to go to film school, I had a film school already.

HSD: To you, what does the entertainment industry expect of Asian males? What is considered beautiful? Are you judged against the same standards as white males?

LT: Wow, that’s a really a good question. We have a long way to go. Unfortunately, the Asian community has been very slow to progress in the eyes of the Western culture, especially in the film industry. I feel fashion is maybe a little bit better, more with the females. But if we’re talking specifically males, the progression has been really slow. We’re Asian, we have nice soft skin, we have nice hair, good cheekbones usually. But people have a long way to go looking at male beauty as something deserving of the limelight, on the cover of magazines.

HSD: Any personal experiences with photographers or designers or casting directors? Have you heard from them about what they perceive as beautiful, as marketable beauty?

LT: I’ve worked here and in Asia, and in Asia it’s very much about looking mixed. They want you to have pale skin, they mimic Western style. They love pale skin, they love the idea of being masculine but not too masculine…

HSD: Do they expect Asians to be somewhat androgynous?

LT: Yes. For me, personally, I don’t live by anybody’s standards, and I just walk off the set if I don’t like what’s going on. But I support my Asian community a thousand percent, to shine a light on what we’ve been doing that people haven’t noticed. And to answer your question, yes, I think they do feel that way.

HSD: Is there difficulty finding roles you want to be in? Important roles? You’re very handsome, but maybe it doesn’t translate to selling stuff.

LT: Extremely difficult! I’ve worked hard over the past ten years to build a name for myself, and it’s very difficult because when I get a role, they expect me to act a certain way because I’m Asian. I’ve always been the opposite. I train very hard to make sure I’m really goof at my craft, so I don’t just get a role because they like the way I look. If I

get a role for that reason, when I come on set, I always do something interesting, something different.

For instance, I just did this movie with Forest Whitaker, and I play the third lead character. The lead character is Caucasian and the other lead is black. We’re on a Southern football team, and I was the only actor to do a Southern accent in the film. But my manager advised me not to do it, because it would be more marketable to see me in my normal voice, and I can probably get more jobs after this one. But I chose to do it because Asian actors are underrepresented as far as doing something different on screen. I took that risk, I did that, and I think it paid off.

HSD: Are you going to tell us more about this movie?

. We shot it two and a half years ago and it’s taken a long time to get it released. But it should be coming out this year, hopefully.

HSD: Are there certain expectations as to what roles Asians can play?

LT: Well, you have to know martial arts, you have to be super smart. I don’t see male leading roles for Asians. The thing is, I want to be the lead, the hero, the love interest character. I don’t want to play the fifth best friend who is a nerd. I don’t want to play the ninja, whose face you never see. I know kung fu, I’ve been doing martial arts for 15 years, and I love it. But I think there are these expectations. These are the roles they are comfortable with Asians doing. They aren’t comfortable in seeing you in lead roles – the ones I want.

HSD: Have you had to make certain decisions to impress on them that you don’t want these roles?

LT: I have! I’ve walked out of auditions. They say, hey, can you do an Asian accent? And I just stood there and went,

What’s that? I don’t know what that is. I can do New York, I can do Brooklyn, Louisiana, English?

I’m not going to do an Asian accent to perpetuate that stereotype.

HSD: Where do you think this trend of typecasting Asians is headed?

LT: I think you see in social media, you see people raising the question of whitewashing. It’s #whitewashedout. There’s a conversation about casting Caucasians in Asian roles. Like casting Scarlett Johansson in

as Makumoto, a Japanese character. They cast Tilda Swinton in

as the Ancient One, where she’s supposed to be a Buddhist monk. The question is being raised, and the Asian community is starting to speak out, but it needs to be heard more. We need to talk about it more, we need to do interviews about it more, we need to be more adamant about pushing our people out there. We need to support each other.

HSD: Do you think on the practical level there needs to be more casting directors or filmmakers who are Asian?

LT: There are many levels to how we’re going to beat this battle, and those are some of the levels. But also, we need to boycott films that are disrespectful. If they did that to a black actor, make his face look Caucasian to play a Caucasian role, or if they made a white guy look a little black to play a black role, there would be an uproar. But they can do it with

with Asians. We need to boycott shows and studios that do that.

HSD: Who are some of the favourite people you’ve worked with? What were those projects about, what did you do, and why did you like it?

LT: It was nice to work with Johnny Depp on

 To even just watch what he does when he’s on camera, when he’s off camera. He’s a very talented actor, an inspiration to me. Watching my Dad work was very interesting too. He’s done a hundred movies and I really respect him and his opinion about things. As far as photographers go, there’s one who taught me a lot. His name is Fred Greissing. He shoots for Italian Vogue. He’s from Italy. He taught me a lot about lighting, how light works. Once I started to understand a little more about light, I think that helped my modelling career and acting career. My eye will always look at the light. At the end of the day it’s really all about the light.

HSD: Tell me more about Make Love Inc.

LT: Make Love Inc is my production company. We shoot commercials and short films, and soon to be feature films. Make Love Inc’s name is a play on society’s way of making art forms corporations. I’ve been shooting a lot of fashion and travel videos with my girlfriend. We’re coming out with an art book and a video line. I’ve worked with David Guetta, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, shooting music videos for them… I’ve also shot for different brands and fashion companies. That’s kinda the filmmaking, directing side. I cast a lot of Asians, many friends of mine who are really talented and who no one’s seen before. I would say half my projects have Asian actors.

HSD: What is the funniest or weirdest experience you had working in the entertainment industry? Any awkward propositions, or embarrassing rehearsals, shoots?

LT: Working for beauty companies… it sounds really simple, but it’s actually hilarious. Because all day you’re just putting the product on your face, maybe a hundred times. By the end of the day your skin is like, just… You’re sitting there with masks, and masks, and masks, on your face. You’re taking pictures and smiling, but deep down you just hate what you’re doing. You hate life. Your face is stiff and the skin can’t breathe and you’re smiling, pretending that you love it. There comes an awkward moment when you’re like… is this worth it?

just recently, I’m in the steam room and I’m doing a fight scene in a bath towel. I’m sitting in this chair and I’m supposed to turn to look at the main actor, and I stand up and we have a fight scene together, me and him. The first take, I turn and before I could stand up the director said, cut! And the DP’s like, hey man, I have a full crotch shot in front of me. You need to adjust your angle. Ohhh, shit. Things like this happen and thank goodness they don’t use these takes…

HSD: What sparked this photo shoot / collaboration with Victor Hugo? 

LT: Victor’s awesome. He’s from San Francisco. He’s an amazing photographer. Young, up and coming. He has an interesting style, and he knows exactly what he wants. People say that, but it’s actually amazing to find someone who does know what they want. Nowadays you shoot on digital cameras. When I was learning from Fred Greissing, it was medium format film. In order to take the picture you really had to understand what you were doing, the concept you wanted, the fashion idea, the model’s pose, everything.

Nowadays you can roll off 2000 frames and hope to get 5 photos. But Victor is really good because he will shoot 20 frames and say

And he’s moving on. He’s a younger guy, and it’s nice to see somebody with a clear vision like Victor. His style has a really interesting colour and technique to it, it’s really different from what I’ve seen before.

LT: He found me through my agency. And we did an underwear shoot, a Calvin Klein thing, and he was amazing. So I said to him, if you ever wanna work together again, let’s do it. My show was coming out, the one I’m in right now, called

I think everybody should check out his work. His composition is different, and he’s going to stand out.

he’s a hustler. So that guy, he’s going to get somewhere in I’d say a year. A lot of people are going to be hearing about Victor.

HSD: Where do you see your career heading in the near future?

LT: I’m going to be the leading actor in action movies and in dramas, and I’m going to direct feature films. That’s going to be what it is in the next few years.

LT: I would love to work with Paul Thomas Anderson, or Quentin Tarantino.

HSD: It’s high time he did something with Asians.

I think David Bellemere is a great photographer, and I know that he works mostly with women. But if he’d ever shoot a guy, maybe we can do it!

HSD: Do you have a personal mantra when it comes to work?

LT: My mantra is to make a way where there is no way. Especially for an Asian actor, you have to see the invisible, in order to achieve the impossible. That’s my second mantra.

HSD: What does “personal style” mean to you?

LT: I think style is an expression of yourself. That’s the best way to put it. It’s a personal expression. I probably change outfits two or three times a day. I go to the gym, I have meetings, I want to be comfortable… and it’s all a reflection of how I’m feeling and who I am.

HSD: Describe your personal style. Do you consider yourself a stylish man?

LT: It’s classic. I like to wear dark colors, simple, comfortable clothes. I like to have nice shoes, nice suits, nice jackets. If I’m wearing leather, it’s got to be real leather. If I’m wearing nice dress shoes, they’re going to be really nice dress shoes. I only have a few things, but the things that I have are of nice quality. Because of the comfort and the way I feel in them. I feel confident, I feel more like myself when I have some of these things. I don’t overdo it though. I don’t have a huge closet. But the stuff in my closet are all nice things.

Honestly, if you were in my house, most of the time I’m… I’m… half the time naked. Or in my underwear. Or in jeans and no shirt. That’s really my day to day style when I’m alone. No shirt in the summer, or just walking around naked. As my neighbours, I’m sure, have seen. I’m very relaxed and comfortable in my natural state.

LT: My mother was a model and she helped me develop my style a little bit. I think my style is mostly formed from watching films, singers… I love how Marlon Brando can make a t-shirt look iconic. I don’t like trends. I prefer to make a different path. I like it when things become iconic because of your confidence, instead of just being trendy.

HSD: What kind of guy are you, a shoe guy, watch guy?

LT: A mixture between… oh shit. Maybe I’m all three… I like watches, I like shoes, I like jackets! I like jewelry. It’s hard to find good jewelry for men. But I guess I’m a watch guy. I have a couple of nice pieces.

HSD: Guys struggle with jewelry. What is your preference for jewelry?

LT: If you’re going to go loud with jewelry, you got to balance it and be calm with the clothing. If you’re going loud with the clothing, minimal jewelry. It’s all about balance. I don’t like extremes. When it comes to fashion and style, I’m about balance. So if I wear very dark clothes and nice shoes, you might see a few rings on my fingers just to pop a little.

LT: I like heavy pieces. Silver or gold. I like interesting pieces, like this one which I had put on a gold chain. It’s a pocket knife from Japan. It’s different and when people see it on my chest they go, what is that?

HSD: Tell us about a fashion trend that you like, or are following, and a trend you simply cannot stand.

LT: I have two trends that I cannot stand. One is… I don’t like it when guys wear super skinny jeans with a long t-shirt that goes past the knees. I don’t mind skinny jeans, but if you wear those with a long t-shirt, kinda like how Justin Bieber was doing it six months ago. I don’t like that style. My other pet peeve is when people wear their boots but they unlace them and pull the lip all the way down so it’s hanging out. You know what I’m talking about??? They used to do that with skinny jeans too and it’s like, you can’t walk! It’s not practical!! It’s just an awkward thing seeing the tongue flapping all over the place when they’re walking. It’s just so odd! I can’t.

HSD: You look great without a shirt on! Are you always in the gym? What do you do to keep trim? Do you feel lazy sometimes, and how do you get motivated?

LT: I don’t get lazy… I get tired and I fall asleep. I get sore, I get to a point where I can’t move my body. After kickboxing for two or three hours I get sore! I do MMA, I do wrestling, Japanese katana, which is a mix of gymnastics, extreme martial arts and swords. And I do regular weightlifting and cardio. I do it everyday.

HSD: One last thing. Any parting advice for the aspiring Asian male trying to break into the entertainment industry or modeling industry?

LT: Be confident, find your niche, really learn your craft. Know your cinema history and learn your craft. GO out there and be confident. And support other Asian artists!

What\'s your Style Archetype? Knowing yourself is the first step to being stylish!

The fashion world is huge, but it can really be simplified to twelve Style Archetypes. Which one you belong to depends on a few things – the importance of clothing in your life, your preference for different patterns and apparel, as well as the amount of effort you\'re willing to put into dressing up.

Once you know your archetype, you\'ll find that dressing up and looking good isn\'t hard at all. Less trial and error, more hitting the spot. You can even start exploring looks and brands within your archetype that you never thought you\'d like. Take this test to find out which Style Archetype works best for you!

The typical Normcore is someone who is either tired of or cannot be bothered with the needy world of fashion, preferring comfort and conformity to being 

à la mode. He is however not someone who throws on clothing randomly – he cares about the way he dresses, just not how everyone thinks he should. Amongst Normcores there are those who take it more seriously than others. These folks have picked Normcore as their personal style, and actively seek out designers and outfits that make an ironic “I am anti-style” statement.

here to read more about Normcore, find out what designers belong to this archetype, as well as wardrobe essentials for you to create different looks.

P.S. This is only your primary archetype. Most of us has at least two Style Archetypes that appeal to them. Visit this page to learn more about the remaining archetypes.

The Islander encapsulates a family of styles inspired by year-long sunshine, sand and sea, and a carefree attitude to life. While you find most Islanders actually living in beach towns and rivieras, many people living in cities follow the style too. Particularly in summer, the Islander style becomes popular for its lack of fuss and the feeling it gives of being transported to a sunny resort.

Click here to find out what designers belong to this archetype, as well as wardrobe essentials for you to create different looks.

It’s all about hype. Coined by, well, HYPEBEAST, this archetype belongs to men who dress according to the latest trends. But not every trend – they have particular love for exclusive collaboration sneakers, limited edition skater hats and beanies, and street-ready loungewear. Heavily influenced by urban “hood” culture, the Hypebeast emulates the styles of hip-hop artists like Jay-Z and Kanye West, and look to NBA stars Russell Westbrook and Iman Shumpert more for their off-court outfits than their lay-ups. Anything that’s bling or displays a savviness about the latest hip-hop statement, most commonly an actual marquee on a sweatshirt or cap, is an essential feature in the Hypebeast’s style (think: I woke up like this).

Archetypes and their forms and rules – who cares? Such is the attitude of the Eclectics. It may be tempting to call them iconoclasts, but really, you’d have to be against rules to be one. Eclectics aren’t that way, however; they just don’t bother. Instead, Eclectics create their own set of highly personal, haphazard, and often unconventional rules. They freely pick and choose themes, items, and looks from all over the fashion spectrum to construct what others would call a statement ensemble, and what the Eclectics would call simply “what I like and how I like it”.

Brand-stag, Brands-tag: these are guys who love brands and tags. In fact, they almost worship them. Your classic fashion victim, these guys are walking encyclopedias of runway looks and trends, highly educated in the seasonal offerings of fashion houses large and small. They are most obsessed with brands that are going through experimental phases, mainly because they offer the exhilarating drug of “the chase”. Favoring the showy, Brandstags not only have the knowledge but flaunt it too, often regarding as badges of honor conspicuous logos, highly recognizable brand items, and the “it” item of the season – bag, shoes or otherwise. The perfect guy to ask “who are you wearing”, the Brandstag address the items of his outfit by designer names, most often with barely concealable enthusiasm and scholastic panache.

The BoHipster is anti-establishment, not in an aggressive metal rocker kind of way, but in a more self-expressive, arty fashion. He is usually a fan of indie rock and music from the free love eras of the 60s and 70s. He prides himself in knowing live music bars in town, hippie references, the latest activist cause, and the difference between raw and regular denim. He most likely sports some form of facial hair and tattoos, and goes to a hip salon for his hairdo without coming across as a metrosexual.

The Utilitarian man is most probably a hands-on kind of guy who always thinks about matching style with practicality. Nothing in his wardrobe doesn’t serve more than one purpose, and there’ll always be more reasons than just “it looks good” for his buys. He is most likely someone who enjoys physical activities or the outdoors, and seeks comfort in the way he dresses.

Emerging from a working-class approach to fashion that has a healthy disdain for what was considered showy and impractical, the archetype is more of an approach to menswear than a uniform style. Therefore, visually different looks can fall under this one category, running the gamut from the Western cowboy or safari ranger to foot soldier or factory worker.

A traditionalist is often easy to spot – he’s always impeccably dressed and there’s a classy throwback feel about him. He may come across overdressed sometimes, seen most often in a tailored jacket or blazer, and sticks to his guns about dressing like a gentleman and how the culture has become too casual. He knows the best tailors in town and bandies the word “bespoke” about quite a lot.

Consider the Sportifs as men who are in the sweet spot between luxury fashion and sporty casual. The archetype is a defining one for the new millennium, as designers responded to the rising star power of athletes, who in turn have created a demand for luxury sporting wear that befits their status. Arguably begun by such stylish sports icons as David Beckham, the trend has married runway designers and traditionally ill-fitting sportswear, and their brainchild is an active masculinity mixed with luxury materials, updated cuts, and stylish detailing.

A Rebel usually has a rugged personality and strong views either of governance, religion or other establishments – more often than not he holds the minority stance. To the Rebel, music is incomplete without electric guitars hooked up to a pedal, and black is most certainly his favourite colour. He is either a remnant of the glorious days of punk or grunge music, and while being selective in his outfits tend to have a casual attitude to being “fashionable”. It’s making a (dissenting) statement that counts.

The preppy guy most likely picked up his sense of style from campus, but with the diversity in colleges nowadays its popularity has waned. Nonetheless, the preppy look still has its charm for guys who like to convey a sophisticated but relaxed sensibility in their dress. Related to the preppy look is the “geek” or “nerd”, popularized in the last decade by such hit American TV series as Big Bang Theory as well as wildly successful college romance dramas from South Korea such as Dream High. Backed by black thick-rimmed glasses and star power from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zachary Quinto, Lee Jong Suk and Kim Soo Hyun, it’s a style that says brainy is sexy.

Much akin to their Traditionalist counterparts, the NuDapper’s style is primarily informed by the classic gentleman’s wardrobe – except that it is far less rigid in its dogma and instead champions experimentation within the general confines of classical menswear. The question the NuDapper asks would therefore be: what would a new-age gentleman wear in this occasion? Not to say that Traditionalists aren’t modern. But the NuDapper is more exploratory in their attitude, willing to break rules and mix them about, but always finishing off looking debonair. The NuDapper doesn’t mind picking up cues from current trends, but they always fit them into the template of what is acceptable to a gentleman.

Do you believe that there are rules for how a man should dress?

Following menswear traditions, or runway examples, ensures your look is successful.

No, I believe in creating my own rules and wearing what fits my personality.

I\'m aware of the rules but I hardly think about them when I dress.

I want to be able to move comfortably in what I wear.

I like a slim or even skinny look, so I prefer something close-fitting that elongates my silhouette.
