He joined SPH MediaWorks in late 2000 but returned to MediaCorp in 2005 when the two companies merged. Although trained as an actor, he is mostly known in Singapore as a co-presenter of MediaCorp Channel 8 current affairs programme Hello Singapore (狮城有约) and host of the Star Awards.
Personal life
Guo is married to a Singapore permanent resident and has a son. He took up Singaporean citizenship in 2001.
In 2010, Guo and Elvin Ng were reportedly engaged in an online feud over comments exchanged in the dressing room during filming of the series. The incident was notably parodied in a skit at the Star Awards 2011 in which Christopher Lee, portraying series director Chong Liung Man, tells their characters to "stop fighting" and "write on [their] blogs".
