Syafiq Yusof

Syafiq Yusof, born December 7, 1992, right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur’s wild heartbeat, is one of those film guys who just can’t sit still. He’s a director and writer who’s always digging for something fresh, whether it’s action, drama, or just a wild ride. People know him for Sheriff (2024), which, honestly, is one of those movies you either love or you’re still arguing about. Then there’s SAM: Saya Amat Mencintaimu from 2012 – that one’s basically a love note to hopeless romantics with a bit of a dark twist tossed in. Fast-forward to Abang Long Fadil 3 (2022), and you’ve got this explosion of adrenaline and laughs that somehow manages to outdo itself every time. Syafiq doesn’t just pour his soul into his work—his personal life’s pretty solid too. He tied the knot with Aisyeah Zainal Al-Hafizah back in April 2014, and they’ve got two kids running around, probably already plotting their own film careers, who knows? The guy's got this knack for pushing boundaries, always taking Malaysian cinema somewhere new. He’s not afraid to get a little weird or a little wild, and his movies? They don’t just sit quietly on the shelf—they make noise, spark debates, and, honestly, keep people coming back for more. If you’re into filmmakers who take chances and leave their mark, Syafiq’s your guy.
