Jiraa Pitakporntrakul (aka Guzjung) was born in Bangkok, Thailand as the only child to a Thai mother and a Thai/Chinese father. Her mother and father divorced before she was born and her Mother and Aunt raised her.Her childhood dream was to become an actress and she spent countless hours acting out characters in front of a mirror since 4 years old. When she was 12, a small acting school opened near her house and Jiraa immediately signed up for courses that eventually won her a role in a small Thai Horror Film.Since then she has consistently worked in commercials while attending International schools where she has learned to speak fluent English. Her first big role in Western film came as the lead female in Elephant White, starring Kevin Bacon and Djimon Hounsou due to be released in 2011 and produced by Millennium Films.
