Sammi Cheng wants edgier roles

21 Aug – Hong Kong singer-actress Sammi Cheng recently expressed her wish to play edgier roles in the future.

According to Mingpao News, the actress, who attended the premiere of her new film "Temporary Family" alongside Nick Cheung, Rita Ip, and director Cheuk Wan Chi in Admiralty, Hong Kong recently, stated that though she looks elegant and mild-mannered in real life, she dreams of playing a more hardcore character.

"I really do want to make some controversial and surreal films, or play a character with mental problems," said Sammi, in response to Nick's wish to work with her again in a different genre.

Asked if she's not afraid that such roles will only trigger her depression, which she had battled for three years back in the mid-noughties, Sammi clarified that her past depression was not associated with any movie roles.

"Moreover, I now know how to handle my emotions and has my faith to support me," said Sammi.
