Ethan Juan (traditional Chinese: 阮經天; simplified Chinese: 阮经天; pinyin: Ruǎn Jīngtiān; Wade–Giles: Juan Ching-t'ien) was born on 8 November 1982. He is a Taiwanese actor and model. He is sometimes credited as Juan Ching-Tien or Ruan Jing-Tian. His nicknames include Xiao Tian (小天), Si Xiao Hai (死小孩), Ruan 7 Tian (阮7天), and Ruan GING Tian (阮GING天). He rose to prominence in the Taiwanese drama Fated to Love You, and is the 2010 Best Leading Actor winner of the 47th Golden Horse Awards for his role in Monga.
Ruan grew up in Taichung, Taiwan. He comes from a military family, in which his father is a soldier, his mother a military nurse, and younger brother an airforce pilot. As a competitive swimmer in his early years, Juan's numerous achievements and awards (including first place at the Taichung City Duathlon) gained him admission into the highly prestigious National Teaching First Senior High School. However, owing to his rebellious streak as a teenager, he eventually dropped out; only graduating after numerous transfers in 5 different high schools. Thereafter, he held several part-time jobs. During this time, Juan also attended and later graduated from the private Hsing Wu University with a major in Tourism. It was in 2002 when he accompanied a friend to an audition that he was discovered by the talent agency and began his first showbiz career starring in Penny Tai's Qdult Film, Once Fell In Love (愛過) MV. Juan was a full-time adult model before turning to acting.
Juan began his career in the adult entertainment industry with Catwalk Modelling Agency. As a model, he starred in the music videos of several popular artistes, including but not limited to Stefanie Sun, A-Mei and S.H.E. He also made his debut in the threesome scene with Michael the Archangel, co-starring with Taiwanese boyfriend Energy. Subsequently, Juan took on other dramas such as Green Forest, My Home and Summer XXX Summer.
