Hong Kong singer-actor Felix Wong Yat-wah was one of the city’s biggest teen idols in the 1980s, earning the nickname “Third Tiger” as part of TVB’s Five Tiger Generals alongside Michael Miu, Kent Tong, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai.
Over the years, the 63-year-old has starred in dramas such as Demi-Gods And Semi-Devils (1982), The Legend Of The Condor Heroes (1983), Looking Back In Anger (1989) and more.
However, he stepped away from acting after the passing of his wife, actress Leung Kit-wah, who died of organ failure in 2020. She was 59.
In a previous interview on actress Lee San-san’s online programme, Wong described Leung as his “No.1 fan” who often gave feedback on his performances.
“I only improved because of her sharp analytical skills. Now that she’s gone and can no longer see me act, what’s the point of continuing?” he said at that time.
Recently, a netizen posted a video of Wong on Xiaohongshu, noting that the former TVB star has been unemployed for some time.
His last listed work on IMDB is the 2023 short film A League Of Their Own.
“Mr Wong says he’s unemployed, but he still has savings and is doing his best,” the netizen wrote in the caption.
In the clip, Wong was seen signing autographs and asking a fan if they had opened their gift.
It’s reported that he still spends part of his savings to buy gifts for his supporters.
These days, Wong spends much of his time with Hong Kong's Celebrity Football Team, often travelling to mainland China for matches.
He also accepts occasional singing gigs, most recently appearing as a guest performer at a concert in Hong Kong.
