Early Life and Education

Deng Weide was born on March 19, 1996, in Singapore to Mr. Deng, an engineer, and Mrs. Deng, who assists at a drinks stall. He grew up with an older brother who works in the automotive industry.

As a lanky and self-described “nerdy” child, Ten faced bullying, which led him to take up Muay Thai at age 14 for self-defense and confidence. He attended Jurongville Secondary School and later studied interior design at Singapore Polytechnic.

Of Chinese descent, Ten’s religious beliefs are not publicly disclosed.

Career

Tyler Ten began his career in modeling after friends encouraged him to submit photos to agencies, leading to a contract with NOW Model Management. Inspired by the martial arts film Ong Bak, he started Muay Thai at 14, winning his first competition at 15, and later became a part-time instructor.

His acting journey began by chance when he was scouted for Mediacorp’s Star Search 2019, where he reached the top 12. His debut came with minor roles in dramas like All Around You (2019), Key Witness, and Mister Flower, while balancing his studies.

His role as an SCDF emergency medical technician in In Safe Hands (2021) marked his first lead, drawing on his real-life experience as an SCDF reservist.

Ten’s career gained momentum with prominent roles in action-oriented series like When Duty Calls 2 (2022), where he played an army officer, and the romantic comedy Love on a Shoestring (2024), a Singapore-Taiwan co-production where he showcased his comedic side as a naive office boy.

His preparation for the 2025 blockbuster Emerald Hill: The Little Nyonya Story was intensive, involving weight loss and tanning to portray Bai A-Li, a charismatic 1950s gangster and love interest of Tasha Low’s character. Inspired by Chinese actor Zhu Yilong’s performance in Lighting Up the Stars, Ten’s extroverted role in Emerald Hill has been hailed as a potential breakthrough, earning comparisons to Mediacorp star Desmond Tan.

Tyler Ten continues to build his reputation as a versatile actor with a strong screen presence, balancing action, drama, and comedy. His role in I Do, Do I? (2024) as a Singaporean husband and father in an interracial marriage highlighted his ability to tackle complex characters.

As part of the boy group HST with Herman Keh and Zhai Siming, Ten also engages fans through music and social media, with over 85,000 TikTok followers. His dedication to Muay Thai remains a core part of his identity, with aspirations to star in action films, while his commitment to fan engagement, such as treating supporters to lunch, underscores his grounded and appreciative nature.
