HK Superstar Andy Lau Spotted At Michelin Restaurant In KL
Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau (刘德华) is no stranger to Malaysia, given that he's married to a Malaysian. However, it's still surprising to many locals when he pops into town unannounced for a private event.
Earlier this week, local news outlets reported that the 'Malaysian son-in-law' was recently at a Michelin restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. The news surfaced after Hide KL's Chef Shaun Ng shared a photo of himself with Andy Lau. The captions read, 'What an honour. Don't blink, it's not AI. Thank you for the arrival of superstar Andy Lau. That night, he really came. Andy Lau appeared at our HIDE KL in Kuala Lumpur. It was indeed an unforgettable evening.'.
The multi-faceted star wore a denim jacket paired with white trousers. His bare face showed slight signs of tiredness, but Andy still had a warm smile while posing alongside the chef. The singer was allegedly at the restaurant for a private dinner event hosted for close friends and family. However, it's unknown if Andy was the one who hosted the get-together or if he was one of the guests.
Malaysian journalist Wong Chun Wai was also part of the dinner and shared his experience meeting the star on Instagram. In his post, the Chairman of BERNAMA said Andy is 'incredibly humble and fit' and is 'aging well at 63'. It's worth noting that Shaun and Chun Wai's posts are dated 21st April (Monday) and 20th April (Sunday), respectively, so it's unknown when the dinner was held.
Since tying the knot to Malaysian model Carol Chu (朱麗蒨), the Hong Kong star regularly comes to Malaysia for the Chinese New Year holidays and the Qingming Festival, in addition to his official schedules. Some fans suggested that his current trip is to visit his in-laws in a low-key manner, with many saying he purposely chose to come after the Qingming Festival to avoid the crowd.
Given Andy's busy schedule, it's unknown whether he's still in Malaysia at the time of writing. Nevertheless, we hope he had a great stay.

#SHOWBIZ: Sofyank teams up with HK superstar Louis Koo in viral promo
KUALA LUMPUR: A surprise collaboration between Hong Kong screen legend Louis Koo and Malaysia's very own VFX prodigy Sofyank has taken local social media by storm, following the release of a promotional video for Koo's film Behind The Shadow. The impressive 50-second spot racked up over a million views in just 12 hours, and for Sofyank, the experience was surreal. "Louis is one of the first Hong Kong actors I've ever worked with. I grew up watching his movies — to now share the screen with him feels like a dream come true," shared Sofyank. Despite Koo's packed schedule, the video shoot was completed in 20 minutes. "He looked really serious at first, but he was incredibly down-to-earth. In fact, it was he who suggested some comedic moments — including the popcorn bit," added Sofyank. The video features Sofyank walking through a cinema hallway holding popcorn, before accidentally bumping into a crowd and dropping it. Koo "steps out" of a movie poster and hands him a fresh box — while dropping some Bahasa Malaysia lines in his Cantonese-accented voice: "Jom sapot!" (Let's support!). Netizens praised their pairing as refreshing and heartwarming. "We asked Louis if he'd be willing to try speaking in Malay, even though it's not a language he's familiar with — and he was totally up for it," said Sofyank. Behind The Shadow was shot entirely in Malaysia, with a cast and crew of nearly 100 local talents. Koo previously shared his admiration for Malaysia's film industry, noting its professionalism, quick pace and strong creative energy. "I was impressed by how committed and responsive the Malaysian crew were. It was great to see how they handled spontaneous scenes so well," he said. Sofyank said: "This film proves that it's not just Western studios, but also those in Asia, that now recognise Malaysia's potential. I hope to bring Malaysian creativity to the global stage. And I'm thrilled to see more international filmmakers acknowledging our local talent." Behind The Shadow stars Koo as a detective entangled in a mysterious crime filled with suspense and unexpected turns. The film is set in recognisable Malaysian locations — from bustling night markets and food courts to schools, pedestrian bridges and urban backstreets. Behind The Shadow officially opens in cinemas today.

'Still Live' series in KL creates a shared space for sound and sketch
Indie folk outfit Satwo, featuring husband-and-wife duo Maz and Rafiz, is set to appear at the 'Still:Live' sunset session in Kuala Lumpur this Saturday. Photo: Maisu Blurring the lines between sight and sound, the latest edition of Ur-Mu's Still Live series pairs live painting with acoustic music for an immersive experience. Still Live – an initiative by the Ur-Mu art private museum – takes place at Boombong, The Toffee, Jalan Raja Chulan in Kuala Lumpur on June 14. Ur-Mu, which operates three distinct art gallery spaces in downtown Kuala Lumpur, will open the doors of Ur-Mu @ Toffee – its Raja Chulan outpost housing two private art collections – as part of this weekend's Still Live programme. Each ticket includes a pre-show tour led by renowned art collector and lawyer Pakhruddin 'Pakha' Sulaiman, whose 1990s Malaysian art collection fills Ur-Mu@Toffee on Level 6. Ur-Mu's 'Still Live' series blends live acoustic music with on-the-spot drawing for a uniquely immersive experience. Photo: Ur-Mu This Saturday's Still Live, a sunset session, starts at 4pm. Inspired by the art term 'still life', the series allows the audience to enjoy a live acoustic set and try their hand at live drawing. Nur Khairi Hamidi, Ur-Mu's museum coordinator, explains that while still life drawings traditionally feature inanimate objects like fruits or flowers, Still Live adds a twist – here, it's the performing musicians who become the subject. 'The idea behind Still Live is to basically combine two unique jam sessions: live acoustic performance and live drawing by the audience. We wanted to gather crowds of both fine art and music enthusiasts into one event, and break the boundaries between the two disciplines,' says Khairi. The sold-out first edition, held on Feb 22 at Ur-Mu Bukit Bintang, brought together KL-based acts Faye Faire, Note/Void, and RuoH for an intimate night of music (folk to post rock) and art. Renowned art collector Pakhruddin (centre) will be conducting a pre-show gallery tour at Ur-Mu@Toffee, where he will share insights and stories from his distinguished art collection. Photo: Pakhruddin Sulaiman 'We wanted to keep the momentum going, as we received a lot of positive feedback from those who came for the first show – for many of them, it was their first time experiencing this kind of mash-up between art and music," says Khairi. 'The musicians also had a lot of fun with the gig, because it was their first time being drawn while they performed,' he adds. The weekend's Still Live edition promises an equally compelling line-up, featuring husband-and-wife indie folk duo Satwo – joined for the first time by cellist Azrul Asyraf – alongside singer-songwriters Umar Akmal, and Syiqin Azln. For Satwo, Still Live will actually be its second art-related performance this year. Last month, the duo performed its rendition of two poems – Satu and Gurindam Apati – by Pahang-born writer and filmmaker Dr Razli Dalan at the launch of his illustrated poetry book Koleksi Puisi Puisi Sendu at the Kokopelli gallery in Petaling Jaya.

In the live scene, Rafiz and his wife Tuan Mazlinna Tuan Abdul Malek – better known as Maz – have connected with audiences across a range of art and music events. "Since the Renaissance, music has inspired painters, opening emotional and imaginative spaces,' says Rafiz. 'Today, from album covers to performance visuals, music gives soul to form and art gives face to sound – together, they create deeper meaning," he adds. The second Still Live edition (4pm-8pm) happens at Boombong, The Toffee, Jalan Raja Chulan in Kuala Lumpur on June 14. Tickets: RM60.
