In Myanmar, it’s customary for young men and boys to enter the monastery for at least a week, and many go on to become fully ordained monks.

Paing, now 28, is a Burmese actor and model. After he went viral, his popularity soared, boosting his social media following and earning him a nomination on TC Candler‘s “Most Handsome Faces” list.
