Vic Chou would love to reunite with F4 members
6 Jun - Amid rumours that F4 is set to reunite for their 25th anniversary next year, Vic Chou recently admitted that he doesn't have any information about the event. As reported on Mingpao, the singer-actor, who was a part of the group that first debuted through the hit 1999 drama, "Meteor Garden", said that while he has no idea about such a reunion, he hopes that it would be possible. "Every year, I would hear about such opportunity and every year people would approach us. So, I do hope it will work this time," he said. Asked if such a reunion will be a possibility next year, Vic said, "I don't know. I think maybe I have my own expectations for F4. If you just want to make money, then don't look for me specifically. I hope there is some proper planning." As to why the reunion never happened despite them being approached to do so every year, the actor said that the four of them are being managed by different agencies. "I would get asked about reuniting and I would always say that it would be great. But then they will tell me that they will come back to me when there is an idea, but in the end nothing happened. It's like this every year and there is no correct answer to the question," he said. Vic Chou, Jerry Yan, Ken Zhu and Vanness Wu became an idol group F4 following the success of "Meteor Garden", which also co-starred the late Barbie Hsu. However, they disbanded in 2009, only to reunite again at the 2013 Spring Festival Gala in China. (Photo Source: Vic Fanpage IG, SOHU)

Anthony Wong says "no dice" on son becoming an actor
6 Jun - After attracting attention by sharing a photo of his eldest son Wong Yat Yat recently, Anthony Wong revealed that neither of his sons are interested in joining showbiz. The actor, who spoke to the media at the premiere of his new movie, "Valley of the Shadow of Death", said that his eldest son is currently working as a manager in a footwear company. "My eldest has tried filming before and he finds it tiring. What he wants most is to sit down and be rich. He has big ambitions and it's very clear," he said with a laugh. As for his youngest, who just graduated, Anthony said that he would rather work in designing rather than follow Anthony's footsteps. As for his new movie, the actor said that he was surprised that the film finally came to fruition, as he was actually approached by producer Louis Koo two years ago. "When he approached me, there was no script yet. I thought the plan was dead, but it was only delayed. Koo Jai is very thoughtful. I don't know if he appreciates me or pities me," he joked.
