Hong Kong actor and director Stephen Chow was in the news recently after he testified in a lawsuit brought against him by his ex-girlfriend Alice Yu, who accused him of failing to pay his commission of more than HK $ 70 thousand (RM36.7 thousand ).
Hong Kong actress and host Carol Cheng, 63, took the opportunity to clear things up about a misconception that she despised Chow, 58.
According to the rumor, Cheng had allegedly told Chow years ago, before he made it big, that he would never become a leading actor. The two reportedly did not speak to each other for many years as a result.
However, Cheng recently clarified that he had never said such a thing to Chow.

Cheng, once called one of the four pillars of the TVB station, along with Liza Wang, Nancy Sit and the late Lydia Sum, said that he already admired Chow’s talent when he hosted the children’s show 430 Space Shuttle (1982 to 1989 ).

However, the version of his comments reported in the media was “You better not do it,” and the media said that Cheng despised Chow.
Cheng said she was still angry with the magazine that first reported the rumor for not checking with it before it published the news.
Chow left TVB later, and Cheng recalled working with Chow just one more time. She said there was no need for her to explain it to Chow at the time, as she was misquoted by the media.

Later he devoted himself to directing, winning Best Director for Kung Fu movement (2004) at the Golden Horse Awards and directing other films such as CJ7 (2008) and The mermaid (2016). – The Straits Times / Asia News Network
