THE scene of Chang Chen digging out a heart from a corpse with his bare hand in the movie Silk will be talked about for years to come. He may have appeared nonchalant about it in the film but the 30-year-old will openly admit to feeling a tad queasy himself. 

“The mannequin was very real. It was rather unsettling, inserting my hand into the chest but because I play an experienced police officer in the movie, I had to pretend that it was all very routine.”
