Hong Kong veteran media personality Cha Siu Yan recently shared a photo on Instagram with the renowned actor Tony Leung’s 86-year-old mother. In the photo, her mother personally knitted a shawl as a birthday gift for her, making her feel very touched. She also revealed that as a “celebrity mom,” Tony Leung’s mother never inquires about the news concerning her son and his wife Carina Lau, showing great discretion.
From the shared photo by Cha Siu Yan, Tony Leung’s mother appeared with rosy complexion, thick hair, good skin condition, and exquisite features and eyes strikingly resembling those of her son. She smiled gently at the camera, and the jade diamond ring on her hand was particularly eye-catching, exuding elegance and grace.
Cha Siu Yan disclosed that Tony Leung’s mother is still very agile and enthusiastic about watching Western TV series online. She even learned knitting through YouTube videos and hand-knitted a mustard-colored shawl to give to Cha Siu Yan as a birthday gift, showing no airs of being a celebrity mom. Cha Siu Yan shared a conversation between them where Tony Leung’s mother modestly said, “I learned knitting from YouTube, and my skills are not good, please don’t mind.” To which Cha Siu Yan jokingly replied, “Mind? I do mind! Look at how big the shawl you knitted is!” and they burst into laughter.
Interestingly, Cha Siu Yan nervously asked Tony Leung’s mother if she could publicly share their photo, being afraid it might make her uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Tony Leung’s mother generously replied, “I don’t mind you posting this photo, it’s my honor to take a picture with you.”
Cha Siu Yan mentioned that Tony Leung’s mother is very discreet and as a celebrity mom, she never asks about the entertainment gossip news related to her son and Carina Lau, giving the younger generation space, which also contributes to her harmonious relationship with Carina Lau.
After the photo was shared, many netizens praised Tony Leung’s mother for her “really good temperament.”
Tony Leung was raised by his mother alone due to his parents’ divorce when he was young. He has openly stated that his mother is the woman he admires the most. One of the significant reasons he decided not to have children in his lifetime is to be able to wholeheartedly take care of his mother, sister, and wife Carina Lau, unwilling to be distracted and take on more responsibilities.
