Biography

Daniel est né d'une mère américaine d'origine sud-coréenne et d'un père américain d'origine irlandaise. Il commence le mannequinat en 2001 aux États-Unis, et travaille ensuite en France, en Italie, à Hong Kong et à Taïwan lors de ses études collégiennes. Après ses débuts en Corée du Sud avec une publicité pour Amore Pacific intitulée Odyssey Sunrise, il devient le porte parole d'Olympus avec Jun Ji-hyun et de Daewoo Electronics's Klasse avec Kim Tae-hee.

Ne parlant pas coréen, Daniel joue tout de même dans un drama sud-coréen intitulée My Lovely Sam Soon. Il interprète le rôle de Henry Kim, un radiologiste tombé amoureux de Hee-jin (jouée par Jung Ryeo-won). Plus tard, il commence à apprendre la langue et participe à divers shows TV, comme par exemple Family Outing.

Pour renforcer son image, il aurait menti en disant qu'il avait un diplôme en économie de l'Université de l'Illinois à Chicago, alors qu'il possédait seulement un diplôme de collégien, plusieurs sources le prouve.

En 2009, Henney se révèle au grand public dans le film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. À l'automne 2009, il joue à nouveau dans un drama, cette fois-ci américain, diffusé sur CBS, intitulé Three Rivers, où il incarne Dr David Lee.

En 2010, Daniel Henney retourne en Corée du Sud et joue dans la série The Fugitive: Plan B, avec Rain et Lee Na-young.

Il a un contrat de mannequinat avec l'agence new-yorkaise DNA Model Management.

En novembre 2011, Daniel obtient le rôle principal dans la reprise coréenne de la comédie musicale française Mozart, l'opéra rock, avec Lee Hyori.

To redirect Hiro, Tadashi takes him to the robotics center at his university, where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends: GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred, as well as Baymax, the inflatable healthcare companion robot Tadashi created. To enroll in the school, Hiro signs up for the school's science fair and presents microbots: swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable. Professor Callaghan, the head of the university's robotics program, is impressed, and grants Hiro entrance to the university. Alastair Krei, renowned entrepreneur and president of Krei Tech, offers to buy the microbots, but Hiro follows Callaghan's warnings about Krei's questionable business practices and declines to sell them.

At her Marie Antoinette-themed birthday bash, Michelle loses her head after a few drinks and wakes up dishevelled in a hotel room. Forty days later, she discovers she’s pregnant and sets about finding the culprit. Michelle narrows it down to three suspects who turned up at her shindig: figure-skating teenager Jeb (Jiang Jingfu); seafood-sauce tycoon Tiger (Leon Lai, vulgarly dismantling his matinee-idol image); and her Harvard-educated Chinese-American boss, Bill (Korean-American thesp Daniel Henney). Their confrontations provide ample opportunities for overdone slapstick and naughty sexual innuendo, but there’s also the matter of her incompatibility with any of them, poignantly addressing the harsh reality that she’s not exactly long-term relationship material in their eyes.

Min-june (Uhm Jung-hwa) is a believer in true love and always very dedicated to her current boyfriend. However, men always break up with her - her latest boyfriend ends their relationship on his birthday. Distracted by the latest break-up, she bumps into a car and a man steps out of it - who turns out to be her new boss, Robin Heiden (Daniel Henney). Heiden has very clear ideas about a relationship and love: both are a game of power and Min-june seeks advice from him, as she doesn't want to get dumped again. However, when she starts to treat men like Heiden treats women, she realizes that she prefers her older behavior, even if that means that she gets dumped again; she doesn't see love as a game of power and never will. Heiden, who has to deal with his own heartbreak, as he loved a woman so much that she had to shoot him to get the message across that she wasn't interested in him, starts to soften at Min-june's attitude towards life. He eventually falls in love with her and both get into a real relationship and a happy ending of their own.
