At the Shanghai International Film Festival, mainland Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming won the Best Actor award for his performance in the movie “Sunshine Club.” When he went on stage to receive the award, he was visibly emotional and had trouble controlling his shaking hands. Video footage from the awards ceremony on the 22nd captured Huang Xiaoming’s intense trembling on stage.
From the moment the award was announced to his acceptance speech, his hands never stopped shaking. Even when holding the trophy and certificate, his shaking hands were so noticeable that the host quickly intervened to ease the situation. Huang Xiaoming, a well-traveled figure in the film industry, is always respectful of awards. The tremors in his hands sparked online discussions, with netizens speculating on the reasons behind his shaking, such as health issues like low blood sugar or a medical condition.
During his speech, Huang Xiaoming expressed special gratitude to his parents and his son “Little Sponge,” mentioning how his son has been a constant companion on his journey. He also noted that it was his grandmother’s 95th birthday that day, thanking her for raising him and wishing her a happy and healthy birthday.
Huang Xiaoming emerged victorious over competitors like Ge You to win the title of Best Actor. To portray a mentally challenged character in “Sunshine Club,” he intentionally gained 15 kilograms, reaching a weight of 85 kilograms. He even shaved his head, went without makeup, added freckles on his face, wore braces, carried a school bag, and had a lollipop in his mouth to shed his “idol baggage.”
Regarding his weight fluctuation, Huang Xiaoming said, “God granted me the ability to easily gain and lose weight, but I don’t want everyone to follow my example because I have been feeling a bit physically exhausted recently.” He revealed that he has another film, “The Man in a Wig,” where he needs to lose weight, with a 25-kilogram difference from his previous role.
Previously, Huang Xiaoming was photographed looking exhausted, sparking concerns from netizens whether his psychological state was affected by excessive weight loss. In an interview, he described his weight loss period as “devilish” and admitted to experiencing digestive discomfort and occasional palpitations as a result of it.
Netizens commented on Huang Xiaoming’s 6-minute acceptance speech, praising his gratitude towards his grandmother and his son “Little Sponge.” The mention of “Little Sponge” highlighted his fatherly love, especially since Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy announced their divorce in January 2022 but continue to co-parent their son. Over the years, Huang Xiaoming has been present for all the important moments in “Little Sponge’s” life, fulfilling his role as a responsible father.
