Happy Birthday to our Era’s Leading Man — Benjamin Kheng

  • By Men's Folio

We’re going to issue you a challenge where you need to come up with a reason why Benjamin Kheng isn’t one of the most talented blokes around. Here are our reasons — he acts, dances, sings, he’s also fluent in accents and he has an aptitude for generating some ‘lols‘ with his YouTube skits starring Hirzi and him.

Life’s pretty great when you’re Benjamin Kheng so today, on his 29th birthday, we’re celebrating our favourite moments with the era’s leading man. 

 

May ’18 — The Cinematic Issue

Benjamin graces our May ’19 Cinematic Issue in Fendi — incredibly apt as it was nearly a year since his first film debut in “Wonder Boy”.
