Hiroshi Tachi on Acting: “I’m not a good actor, but an actor should be someone who leaves a lasting impression on people’s hearts.”

The best dandyism in the entertainment world.

Tachi, however, still has the smart behavior and adult sex appeal of a “Dandy Takayama” himself. We wondered if he has a secret for staying so youthful.

He says, “I don’t do anything. I don’t like the gym and I don’t run. I used to ride a horse until recently, but it has become too physically demanding, so now I only play golf. If I had to guess, I would say that my secret is that I love women (laughs). I eat whatever I want, as much as I want.”

“I like junk food such as hamburgers and okonomiyaki. My father was a doctor, and his educational policy was ‘It’s OK to like and dislike things,’ saying that eating what you dislike is not nourishing. Maybe it is important to take in what you like, both in play and in food.”

 

Wataru became a demon, and Ishihara Productions terminated its management operations in January 2021. However, Tachi did not transfer to another office, but established “Tachi Productions” in April of the same year.

“I still want to make movies. I myself made my debut in movies, and above all, I want to carry on the passion for filmmaking that Yujiro and Wataru had. In fact, I am now making preparations little by little. As an actor, I believe that whatever will be, will be.”

“Thanks to the director and producer who never stopped using me, saying, “Tachi will eventually get better,” I have been blessed with films, but I still don’t have confidence in my own acting. However, I like creating things, so I would like to continue to participate in productions as one of the actors.”

Tachi, once the “number two” actor, now reigns supreme in the entertainment world as the “one and only” actor.

“I am where I am today because of my motto, “Play hard, play hard”. That includes playing with women.”
