He may have played many different characters as an actor and model, but there is one important one that has changed him. Jason Godfrey, the star of several Singaporean drama series, as well as a prolific television presenter, says that becoming a father made him want to be a better person.

"It’s taught me that my boy will copy everything that I do, so I saw a need to start acting like the person I want him to be," he relates. "You stop cursing, getting frustrated easily, being too much of a knucklehead, or at least you try, because you realise this little guy is watching and learning from you."
