Involved in the limelight for many years, Myolie Wu made a return to Hong Kong recently to attend a film event. Her old friend, Bobby Chong, not only appeared with a new Mediterranean bald hairstyle but also teased her about her figure on stage. In response to her friend’s joking remarks, Myolie Wu graciously played along, even openly mentioning her husband Bosco Wong, creating a light-hearted and humorous atmosphere at the event.
On the evening of September 20th, Myolie Wu, Bobby Chong, and Chung Suk-Ying appeared together in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, for the film launch ceremony of the new movie “My Dad Wants to Travel.” Myolie Wu, who hasn’t been seen in public for a while, appeared noticeably fuller in figure than before. All eyes at the event were almost entirely focused on Myolie Wu, who has been absent from the film scene for quite some time.
Having been friends for over twenty years, Bobby Chong teased Myolie Wu about how skinny she was in her youth, joking that she was as thin as a vine and how it was terrifying. He humorously suggested that now she could engage in exercise through filming to lose weight. Myolie Wu admitted, “I’m already very restrained with my diet; if it wants to make me gain weight, there’s nothing I can do.” Her candid response prompted laughter from the entire audience.
When discussing how she came to accept this new film opportunity, Myolie Wu revealed that she accepted the offer almost without hesitation when approached by the production team. This decision was mainly due to her desire to support local Hong Kong films in a tangible way and her longing to collaborate again with her friend Bobby Chong after many years.
Unexpectedly, Bobby Chong, standing beside her, jokingly interrupted before Myolie Wu finished speaking, saying that her accepting the role meant “she can get some exercise again.” Myolie Wu playfully responded, admitting that part of the reason for accepting the role was to lose weight. The host intervened, praising Myolie Wu for not appearing overweight at all, to which Bobby Chong quickly retorted with a question to the host, “Where is she fat?” causing the audience to burst into laughter.
Myolie Wu and Bobby Chong’s last collaboration dates back to the 2000 movie “Mister Mistress.” The on-screen chemistry between “Chong Yee” and “Geography Lou Mei” from that film is still fondly remembered by many fans who occasionally revisit those scenes for nostalgia. This time, the two will portray a married couple in the new movie, further indulging the audience in a trip down memory lane.
Apart from Myolie Wu’s figure, Bobby Chong’s appearance in the movie also became a focal point of the event. In order to fit his character, Bobby Chong deliberately shaved his hair and sported a Mediterranean hairstyle, exuding a sense of humor that captured everyone’s attention.
Myolie Wu revealed that on the first day of makeup, when she saw Bobby Chong walking over, she was completely stunned and even felt a bit awkward, wondering how he had transformed into this appearance. She hesitated to approach him at first, gradually separating the character from reality. She immediately complimented Bobby Chong, saying that he actually looked like an elder with the bald head, emitting a particularly auspicious aura, and even joked that he suited the hairstyle well.
Upon hearing this, Bobby Chong jokingly suggested that Myolie Wu should ask her husband Bosco Wong to shave his head as well. In response, Myolie Wu humorously commented that not everyone looks good with a bald head, stating that it would be a shame for Bobby Chong not to keep his face hair. She also expressed her unwavering support for her husband, even if he were to face hair loss in the future and become “Mediterranean,” suggesting that he should just go bald to save time on washing and blow-drying his hair, and reassuring him that she would always support him no matter what.
Bosco Wong, dubbed as the “Fifth Heavenly King of Hong Kong,” married Myolie Wu, who is six years his junior, in 2013. Earlier, Hong Kong media reported that the couple had shifted their focus to Japan, where they had established a real estate company in Fukuoka, indicating possible intentions to leave Hong Kong and immigrate to Japan.
Responding to the migration rumors, Bosco Wong, when interviewed, clarified that he has always been in Hong Kong, attributing the misunderstandings to Myolie Wu’s past studies in Japan. He, known for his private lifestyle, mentioned his need for space, explaining that if he has no commitments in Hong Kong, he would visit Japan to be with his wife and take the opportunity to rest and travel, mentioning that he doesn’t feel the need to constantly disclose his whereabouts to everyone.
Myolie Wu’s relaxed return to Hong Kong for filming has pleasantly surprised many fans who adore her.
