HONG Kong actor Kenneth Ma issued a public apology for claiming that an actress invited him to a hotel room in a bid to entrap him, reported Sin Chew Daily.
He also urged the public to stop speculating on who the actress was.
“If my speech has caused some people discomfort, I sincerely apologise to everyone,” he said during a press tour promoting his new TV series Flying Tiger II.In an interview last week, the boyishly handsome 46-year-old revealed that when he was filming in China, an actress gave him her room number and invited him to join her there.
“I definitely wouldn’t go because there will be a group of men waiting there to catch you.
“For people who are that forward, it’s not about love. They don’t love you; they just want to trap you,” he was reported to have said.
During the press tour, Ma said he did not mean to “look down” on the actress.
Ma remains single since breaking up with 30-year-old actress Jacqueline Wong who was caught cheating on him with singer Andy Hui in April 2019.
He was reported to have said that he was leaving romantic matters “to fate”.
> Singer Rainie Yang implied that she longed to reunite with husband Li Ronghao, whom she has been separated from due to travel restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, Sin Chew Daily reported.
“I really hope the pandemic ends quickly so that everyone can freely fly here and there to meet the people they want to meet,” she wrote on Weibo.
Yang was replying to Li’s comment which read: “I’ve not seen you for a long time, how have you been?”
The 35-year-old wrote that she had gained 6kg in just two months but remains the apple of his eye.
“He’s okay with anything. He likes me (being) chubby and thinks I’m cute.
“I told him I wanted to lose weight but he just replied saying he doesn’t think I’m fat,” said Yang.
The two got married last year in China after dating for four years but were separated shortly after due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Being stuck in Taiwan, Yang was not able to spend her birthday this year – which was on June 4 – with her husband who is currently in mainland China.
Instead, she wrote that she would be celebrating the day by having a meal with a few friends.
