At the event, Chow Yun Fat said that the last time he acted in a Hong Kong production was almost 30 years ago. The international film star helped lighten the mood at the press conference by making jibes at his co-stars, especially Nicholas. “I watched Nicholas grow up. 30 years later, he is already married with kids,” he said.
Nicholas immediately responded to the veteran’s comment by exclaiming, “I’m divorced!”
His reply prompted Chow Yun Fat to continue with his friendly banter as the 58-year-old teased, “Sorry I’m not sure about your affairs. You’re faster than me even in divorce [matters]!”
Although the veteran actor plays a highly skilled gambler in the film, Wong Jing emphasised that his latest project is not linked to the classic hit movie God of Gamblers. The director revealed that all characters in From Vegas to Macau are unique and that Nicholas Tse will star as a man who hopes to become the gambler’s disciple.
In addition, Chow Yun Fat also shared that one of the reasons why he took up the role was because of Nicholas. “His father (Patrick Tse) treated me very well when we used to work together. Now I will return the favour. I will bully him on set whenever I can!” he joked.
