The 27-year-old Singapore Idol 2 winner, who is making his acting debut in the local TV drama Sense Of Home, had to do that for a scene.

He co-stars with actress Debra Teng and child actor Foo Fang Rong (Parental Guidance). They play a Singaporean mother and her 11-year-old music prodigy respectively in this four-episode series about Singaporeans living abroad.

Hady’s episode was shot in Budapest, Hungary, in June. In that particular scene, his character, Haikel, had to take the mother and child to a Budapest swimming pool that was carved out of an ancient Roman bath.

Sense Of Home, which premieres on Channel 5 on 14 Sep at 10pm, also stars Fiona Xie, Edmund Chen, Andrea De Cruz and Rui En, who travelled to countries like New Zealand, Vietnam and China to film the show.
