Awal Ashaari

Actor, host, entrepreneur

 

This Malaysian actor and TV host is known for his charismatic personality and boundary-pushing style

An entertainer with a charismatic personality and boundary-pushing sense of style, Awal Ashaari has always been interested in performing since young. At school, he eagerly volunteered to act, recite poetry or sing in the choir for a chance to be on stage.

His ultimate desire, however, was to become a television host, a dream he realised by hosting reality TV series like Malaysian Idol and One in a Million. He cites David Beckham as his style icon, placing importance on quiet luxury and everyday comfort, just like the famous footballer.

In 2023, he ventured into the F&B space with The Great Coffee Club, providing an inviting space for people to socialise.
