Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok has cancelled his promotional activities in Malaysia due to health issues.
He was initially scheduled to attend a media conference with fellow actor Gordon Lam for their upcoming film, Rob N Roll, and meet fans at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and GSC LaLaport BBCC today (Feb 1).
In a press statement, Kwok, 58, apologised for the abrupt change in plans.
The actor added that due to his “sudden physical health problem”, he must adhere to his doctor’s advice and avoid long-haul flights as well as busy schedules for the time being.
Although the Heavenly King is unable to attend promotional events for Rob N Roll for now, his friend Maggie Cheung Ho Yee – who plays a supporting character in the film – readily stepped in for him.
Kwok recently sparked health concerns after a video showing him needing assistance from Lam while descending a flight of stairs made rounds on social media.
Many netizens also noted that Kwok appeared fatigued in several photos taken during a promotional schedule in China.
Rob N Roll tells the story of Mui Lam Tin (Kwok), a former wrestler turned robber who successfully steals millions in a major heist.
However, the stolen cash goes missing when his best friends, Robby (Lam) and Mo Yung Fai (Richie Jen), unintentionally disrupt his plans.
To locate the missing money, the trio forms a robbery team – all the while evading the relentless pursuit of police officer Ginger (Cheung) who’s determined to arrest them.
Rob N Roll premieres at cinemas nationwide on Feb 10.
