Chou joins an ever-expanding roster of global ambassadors for Dior. Presently, the men’s lineup includes actor Robert Pattinson, K-pop singer Jimin (of BTS fame), soccer player Kylian Mbappé, K-pop group Tomorrow x Together (TXT) and Grace Kelly’s grandson, Pierre Casiraghi.
Chou is revered as one of the most-popular Chinese-speaking artists, with record sales tallying over 30 million units. He made headlines last year for featuring legendary department store La Samaritaine in the music video for his single “Greatest Works of Art,” which currently boasts more than 26 million views on YouTube. Notably, La Samaritaine operates under LVMH, like Dior.
On screen, Chou is most remembered for his acting roles in The Green Hornet, which marked his film debut in 2011, and Now You See Me 2, which premiered in 2016.
