Who is Chai Hansen?

Chai Hansen is an Australian-Thai actor, who is probably best known to the world as Shadow Monkey/ Monkey in the TV action-adventure series “The New Legends of Monkey” (2018-2020), in addition to several other notable roles that he’s secured so far.

Real Name, Age, Parents, and Education

Born Surachai Romruen on 8 February 1989 under the Aquarius zodiac sign, in Ko Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand to Superut Romruen, and Sandra Hansen, he’s of mixed ancestry, since his father is Thai, while his mother an Australian, while he also has Chinese roots from his father’s side.

He spent his first seven years in Thailand and then migrated with his mother and sister to Australia; the main reason behind this move was education, as Chai’s mother desired to provide her children the best education she could. While in high school, Chai ran track and field, and set the age group record for triple jump in Australia and Canada; in the Australian school’s championship in 2006, Chai won silver in the event.

In addition to success as an athlete, Chai is also a dominant dancer, which earned him a scholarship after he was noticed by the dancer Travers Ross.

Travers later completed a degree in Performing Arts. After graduating, Chai moved to Sydney to pursue acting, and with the help of William Sanchez got into Australia’s No. 1 live street theatre show “Beat The Streets”. He continues to perform with the group to the present day, for thousands of people per day.

Career Beginnings

Chai’s career started in 2012, when he secured the role of Sean McComb in the fantasy action-comedy film “Dead Moon Circus”, reprising the role in 2013 in the sequel “Dead Moon Circus 2”.

Later that year he was selected for his first major role, as merman Zac in the TV adventure comedy-drama series “Mako Mermaids”, and from 2013 to 2016 featured in 68 episodes of the popular series, earning him national fame.

He continued his career with the lead role in the drama series “The Newsreader” (2021), based on the tragic Russell Street bombing event in 1986.

Personal Life, Dating, Girlfriend, Single, Gay?

When it comes to his personal life, Chai hasn’t been very talkative about it, and all his personal aspirations are kept a secret.
