Zheng Geping gets surprise birthday celebration on drama set, Entertainment News
He thought it was time to film, only to be surprised with a chorus. Local actor Zheng Geping turned 61 yesterday (May 27), and his family as well as the crew and cast members on the set of their drama The Cellphone Swap threw him a surprise celebration. In a video posted on his Instagram account, his actress wife Hong Huifang brings out what appears to be a chocolate cake while the crew, his daughter Tay Ying, son Calvert and soon-to-be son-in-law Wu Sihan sing him a birthday song. "I thought they brought my scene forward before lunch break, didn't expect this! I was caught off-guard!" said Geping in the caption. According to Tay Ying, it was planned by the production team and she thanked them for involving the family in the "sweet surprise". The celebration didn't stop there as the family of five also had dinner at the Chinese restaurant The Black Pearl. The Cellphone Swap — which also stars Star Search 2024's second runner-up Jona Chung, Zhai Siming, Kendra Sow, Angel Lim and Raynold Tan — delves into the phone-addicted generation, exploring how young people navigate self-discovery and seek a more meaningful life.

Orlando Bloom Responds To Keira Knightley's Pirates Of The Caribbean Comments
Last year, Keira Knightly told The Times that the backlash she got after her appearance in Pirates Of The Caribbean left her with conflicted feelings about the franchise. 'It's a funny thing when you have something that was making and breaking you at the same time,' she said at the time, adding, 'They were the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head'. And now, co-star Orlando Bloom has shared his response to her conflicted feelings with Entertainment Weekly. Speaking to the publication over Zoom, the actor shared that he understood his on-screen ex-shipmate's messy feelings about the hit movie series. 'It was such a huge moment in time that is almost like… it feels almost like another lifetime now,' Orlando, who played Will Turner, Keira's character's love interest, said. 'But it certainly was unique and, you know, I'm always grateful. But I definitely understand where Keira was coming from, and she does wonderful things.… I have a lot of positive takeaways.' Orlando also teased that he may consider another Pirates Of The Caribbean appearance in the interview. He said: 'Listen, it was a wild and fun experience so, you know, never say never. I have a lot of respect for that experience, and Jerry, and the whole thing. But who knows? I mean, it's sort of one of those things I really haven't thought about it, really.' He added, 'I'm happy that I got to be a part of something that feels like it's standing the test of time, which is cool'. For now, though, Orlando is swapping The Black Pearl for another ship ― he's working with MSC Cruises' Super Bowl campaign this year, which seeks to promote their new MSC World America luxury cruise.
