Gerald Hans Isaac (born 20 August 1971) is a Malaysian actor, producer, and director.

On 10 April 2019, he was appointed as the Chairman of the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS).[2] He resigned as the chairman of the body after a year.[3]

Background

Hans Isaac was born on 20 August 1971 in the Sultanah Aminah General Hospital in Johor Bahru to Carmina Anciano Isaac, and Edward Anthony Gerald Isaac, a naval officer.[6][7]

The Isaac family were in Johore for eight years before transferring to the KD Sri Rejang base in Sibu, Sarawak. They eventually settled in Kuala Lumpur when Hans was around eight to nine years old as his father was appointed as an aide for the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong at the National Palace in Jalan Istana there until his retirement.[7] It was also in the city that he received his early education at the St. John's Institution.[7][6] He holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the Singapore Institute of Commerce and a bachelor's degree in Hotel Management from Stamford College, Malaysia.[2]

Personal life

In February 2017, he announced his engagement to Aileen Gabriella Robinson, who won the title of Miss Tourism International of 2011.[8] On 30 October 2017, however, he announced that the marriage will not take place.[9]

He is also a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR) since joining it in 2020.[10]
