Jacky Cheung is one of the four Heavenly Kings in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

But, according to the 60-year-old, he’s ranked last at his home – he places himself after the family’s pet turtle.

He said this during an interview with a Hong Kong news programme, as reported by a portal.

In his home life, the singer-actor is married to former Hong Kong actress May Lo, and is dad to daughters, Zoe and Zia. The Cheung family also has a dog and a turtle.

While the wife does the cooking at home, Cheung says he handles other stuff around the house including housework, as well as feeding the two animals and cleaning their faeces.

He also spoke on his relationship with his children – whose ages are 21 and 16 – saying that he’s not a strict dad and that his daughters see him as a “friend”.

The Love Is Eternal hitmaker shared his parenting style: “I mostly just give them my opinion, and it’s up to them whether they want to accept it or not.

“I also have my own views on how to dress, speak, and what the future should be like, but I won’t force them on my daughters.”

On the career front, the superstar released Jacky Cheung A Classic Tour concert albums last December (2021) that feature materials recorded during his global tour from 2016 to 2019.

He also revealed that he might get back to acting this year.
