The third installment of The Princess Switch series, “The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star,” is coming out in November 2021, and as usual, it features a trio of doppelgangers teaming up to solve mysteries. But this season, Fiona enlists the help of her talented ex-boyfriend, Peter Maxwell, played by Remy Hii, who has been working closely with the team.
So, who is this charming guy in real life? Is he married? Or is he gay as rumored? Scroll down to find out.
Is Remy Hii gay?
Remy Hii has always been an active advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Even in November 2020, when a gay refugee was detained in Australia, he was one of the voices calling for his freedom.
But while the actor has often spoken out about gay rights, he has never publicly acknowledged his sexual orientation, so it’s unclear whether Remy is gay or not.
However, nearly half of his fans believe Remy is gay. One Twitter user wrote, “This is apparently @RemyHii’s second most famous gay role and he’s never been openly gay so it’s entirely possible that this is a gay actor playing a gay character and that’s very, VERY interesting.”
The “high-profile gay role” this user is referring to is Remy’s role as elite gay swimmer “Hudson Walsh” on the TV series Neighbours.
Does Remy Hii have a wife?
No, as of 2021, Remy Hii is still single. Also, the rumor that he is gay would not exist, if he ever had a wife.
However, in 2014, Remy was rumored to be dating his Marco Polo co-star Olivia Cheng. But this could just be fan fiction.
Did you know: Remy is often confused with Australian actor Chris Pang.
Who are Remy Hii’s parents?
Remy Hii was born to a Malaysian-Chinese father and a British mother. His parents were featured in his IG post with the caption “Mom and Dad Bangkok, 2016” and later the hashtags “ironyourshirtdad” and “likefatherlikeson”.
So maybe his parents were in Bangkok at the time, and that also shows how much Remy compared himself to his father.
Speaking about his ethnicity, Remy said he is proud of his Malaysian Chinese heritage. And the best thing for the actor about “being able to celebrate the traditional way” is “the food.”
Plus, while Remy boasts his Asian heritage, he’s also a proud Australian. And of course, Australia loves him too. Back in 2020, he was even named Australia’s next leading man by Couriermail magazine.
The actor was born in Sabah, Malaysia, grew up in Papua New Guinea, and made his living in Australia. Because he travels so much, he even calls his large yellow suitcase home.
Interesting Facts: Remy has at least one sibling.
What is Remy Hii’s net worth?
Remy Hii has a net worth of $1.5 million as of 2021.
Growing up, Remy was always fascinated by stories. So much so that he wanted to be a writer and wrote extensively in school through theater and drama classes. But he was always asked to perform plays written by other people—“that didn’t reflect my experiences and didn’t tell the stories I wanted to tell,” Remy says.
Nurturing his passion, Remy eventually became an actor, a chef, a gamer, a writer. He first broke into the film industry at the age of 19 with the Queensland Theatre Company in the award-winning play The Estimator. Since then, it has been smooth sailing for the actor.
But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for him to the point where he hasn’t faced any racism in the industry. What’s more, he’s even been hated by audiences after starring in the TV series Neighbours. The reason? Remy may have Asian heritage but he’s been living in Australia since he was 8.
Despite being upset about the matter, Remy kept quiet at the time as he did not want to risk damaging his burgeoning career.
As of 2021, Remy has over 20 films and television shows to his credit. Some of his notable films are — Arcane (2021), Aftertaste (2021), Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), Crazy Rich Asians (2018), and Marco Polo (2016).
Additionally, Remy won the Logie Award for “Best Newcomer” for his role as “Van Tuong Nguyen” in the 2013 television miniseries Better Man.
If Remy weren’t working in the entertainment industry, he admits he would be attending culinary school.
