This minor role earned him unanticipated recognition and led to a leading role in the 2017 web series ‘A Love So Beautiful’, in which he portrays the aloof romantic lead and genius-next-door Jiang Chen, opposite Shen Yue’s Chen Xiaoxi. The popularity of Hu and Shen’s pairing sparked rumors of a real-life romance, which neither actor has confirmed.

Hu has stated in interviews that he is hesitant to transition from contemporary melodramas to period dramas.

Hu’s Personal Life
Although there have been rumors about the relationship between Hu and his co-star Shen, neither actor has confirmed the allegations. In a recent interview, Hu referred to his co-star as “plain” and speculated that she was cast so that admirers who were not “pretty” themselves could relate to her.
In June 2018, Hu was embroiled in a sex scandal involving internet personality Bei Ye Bei. He was purportedly captured on camera entering a hotel room with his assistant, where he allegedly committed adultery with his girlfriend.
