Phnom Penh - Cambodia's leading pop heartthrob has backed down on threats of legal action against a farmer who named a stud bull after him, the singer said Friday.
The nation's most popular singer-actor, Preap Sovath, 36, had threatened legal action against the owner of a 10,000-dollar Brahman breeding bull he named after the sex symbol.
Sovath was quoted in a range of local media to be taking action to protect his wife, who had reportedly become distressed after seeing advertisements offering the services of the bovine Preap Sovath for 100 dollars per mating, with satisfaction guaranteed.
But Friday the Cambodian equivalent of Ronan Keating said he would not be taking any action.
'No, no, no. I don't care anymore and I am too busy,' Sovath said by telephone.
Theories for the change of heart abound, including a rumour it was partly due to the unsuitability of alternative names offered by the farmer.
A moniker such as 'Little Preap' was unlikely to enhance the careers of either the bovine or bopping version of the star, fans admitted.
