5 Things You Need to Know About Mr. Will Wong

5 Things You Need to Know About Mr. Will Wong
He’s Toronto's original Entertainment and Celebrity Blogger, who has rubbed elbows with the biggest names in music and film. Did we also mention he’s a big-time horseracing Ambassador?
 
Find out some fun and interesting things about @mrwillw, including the celebrity he would love to get a selfie with, and what he would want his own racing silks to look like.
 
The one horse I’d choose for an all-day photo shoot would be…
 
“I will have to be totally biased and choose "Princess" (A Pic By MrWill), owned by John Ross and Cathy Wong. She is my pride and joy and more importantly, loves the camera, which makes it so much easier. I am blessed to have a namesake as sweet as her. I look forward to seeing her develop this year - her first race was promising. A close second would be Lani. I am obsessed and considering a trek to Breeders' Cup now that he is being pointed.”


 
He has been a little starstruck when he’s met stars.
 
“I am approaching Selfie #2000 with a Celeb. I've only been verklempt a few times. Lady Gaga, Nicole Kidman, Adele. Rihanna, Katy Perry. Tom Cruise. Didn't get the selfie with Cate Blanchett, but was pretty darn starstruck. Julia Roberts - I've met, but no Selfie. I was a mess. Oddly, I wasn't shaking meeting George Clooney.”


 
There’s one star selfie missing from his vast collection.
 
“Meryl Streep. Because, Meryl.”
 
If he could design his own racing silks, he would opt for…
 
“They would be a muted silver, with a single cherry blossom branch with blooms across the back. Simple. Classic. Elegant. Gray cap. And the words, ‘WILLIONAIRE,’ written across the front. Just kidding.”
 
The one singer he’s somewhat embarrassed to admit he loves listening to is…
 
“I am obsessed with Ariana Grande right now. Creepy, right? She's great!”
