Early life
[edit]Jirayu Tangsrisuk was born in Phichit, Thailand. He is the youngest child of Sermchai Tangsrisuk and Shotika Tangsrisuk. His parents chose the nickname James after James Bond from said films. He attended high school at Phichit Phitthakhom School, and at the same time he also was a territorial defense student.[2] He studied Communication Arts at Rangsit University, in the field of radio and television broadcasting. Between 2013 and December 2017, Tangsrisuk moved to Business Administration, majoring in Retail Business Management.[3]
Tangsrisuk learned how to dance and sing at a young age and played bass in a high school band. In 2011, he won a model contest held by the cosmetics brand Mistine, and started his career as a model.[4][5]
In April 2012, Charnchalard Dhaweesap – owner of an entertainment agency called Meta Talent Management – saw Tangsrisuk's photos on Facebook and scouted him. Seven other agencies also came for Tangsrisuk, but he started his career in the entertainment industry under Dhaweesap's management.[6]
Career

The same year in September, he made his film debut in First Love, and soon became a well-paid actor.[7] At the end of 2015, he returned to Vietnam to take a martial arts class at Johnny Tri Nguyen's Lien Phong Academy in preparation for his new drama Padiwaradda (The Loyal Wife), as the lakorn featured many action scenes.[8]
