Ekin Cheng admires Tony Leung Kar Fai

9 Apr – Though Ekin Cheng can be considered as a veteran actor nowadays, he admitted that working with Tony Leung Kar Fai, was a great experience and expressed his admiration for the latter's hard work and perseverance.

In an interview with Mingpao, Ekin talked about his collaboration with Tony in the new movie, "Horseplay", and said, "Tony Leung is a truly amazing actor."

"I can't forget when he was injured during filming. Because of his age, I was very worried about his injury. But after only a day's rest, he insisted to continue the shoot. Even when he was in pain, he said nothing," said Ekin.

However, the actor revealed that "Horseplay" is not the first movie of his with the award-winning star.

"We worked together on "Always Be the Winners" (1994) when I had just become an actor," said Ekin. "I learned a lot from him. He taught me that I had to have a dream when joining showbiz."

"He told me that he was able to buy himself a house with his salary, and that encouraged me to find my own dream. Years later, I was able to make that dream come true," the actor enthused.
