Luck hasn't been on Taiwanese actor Lee Lee-zen's side the past two days.
The 51-year-old recently visited Malaysia to film a movie, but his trip took an unexpected turn as he found himself caught in a series of unfortunate events.
On Wednesday (April 23), Lee shared on social media that upon his arrival the day before, he was detained at the airport for two hours due to issues with his visa.
As if things couldn’t get worse, the actor woke up the next morning to discover that one of his teeth had fallen out, prompting him to make a trip to a dental clinic.
“The Indian dentist there was really kind! I waited half a day to get my tooth fixed. I can continue working now,” he wrote in his post.
Following his string of misfortunes, it seems the production crew grew concerned for Lee and quickly took matters into their own hands to resolve the issue.
In the accompanying photos, Lee could be seen praying at a temple, likely seeking some divine intervention.
“They thought things weren’t going well for me, so they took me to a temple to pray,” said the Home star, who has two children with singer Matilda Tao Ching-ying.
“I hope the Gods will bless me, and I’ll have a smooth and safe trip in Malaysia.”
Since kickstarting his acting career in the 1999 series Chrysalis, Lee – who debuted as a singer in 1996 – has starred in over 35 dramas and 10 films.
The multi-talented celebrity is known for his performances in dramas such as The Unforgettable Memory, I Shall Succeed and more.
