Raymond Wong plays it safe
28 May – Actor Raymond Wong cherishes his family, especially his wife Kaka Mok, who gave up on her dreams for him, which is why he is playing it safe when it comes to social interactions.
According to Groove Asia, the actor recently sat down for an interview to promote "Slow Boat Home", and revealed that his family is everything to him.
Disclosing to the media his wife's sacrifice, Raymond stated, "She gave up her dreams for me and our children. She studied oil painting at the art school Emily Carr Institute in Canada that accepts a few Chinese students each year. She hopes to develop her career further and open up an art exhibition centre, but after the birth of our two sons, she decided to focus on the children instead."
The actor also admitted that maintaining a marriage is difficult for him, and revealed that many of his celebrity friends warned him about the trouble he may get when he is far from home.
"Kevin Cheng warned me. He said, "Brother, you have a wife. You really have to be careful because you might get into trouble at any point in time!" Today, I am here to do this interview with you. I still hope to keep my family forever, but perhaps two weeks later or two years later, the media might catch me with another girl. Life is difficult to predict, it's hard to promise anything!"
The actor also shared that he tried to avoid as much night life as possible and keeps social drinking outings to a minimum.
"Working in this industry is so tiring, is it really worth taking the chances to lose everything all at once?" the actor concluded.
